Michigan kicks off its season on Saturday looking to avenge 2007's 34-32 loss to Appalachian State—and to show the world of college football that it's a far better program than 2013's 7-6 record suggests.
With Doug Nussmeier, the new offensive coordinator, the Wolverines are expected to revert to their former pro-style ways by attacking the ground and ruling the trenches. While at Alabama, Nussmeier had the backs and O-line to do such things.
However, in Ann Arbor, he's inherited somewhat of a jigsaw puzzle up front and in the backfield. Getting those two position groups back on track will ultimately be goal No. 1 for Nussmeier, who, talent-wise, certainly has enough mammoths on the line and horses in the stable to produce a 1,000-yard rusher.
With that being said, this slideshow will throw out a few predictions regarding Team 135's season. Hopefully a few stick to the wall.
Are you ready for football? Saturday football?!
