Given the physicality of the UM offense, I imagine he'll want to keep them off the field as long as possible to minimize how banged up his front 7 get before round 2.

This, and I wonder what his approach on offense will be. I doubt Michigan is going to let Milroe go crazy. This is a tough game. It’s going to be old school smash mouth football.

Michigan may be tough but so is Bama. And Bama has more speed. That'll be the difference. Bama just has a better caliber of athletes.

Yes, sir, it is! The 2023 Michigan defense

- #1 scoring defense (9.4 PPG)
- #2 total defense (239.2 YPG)
- #2 passing defense (152.6 YPG)
- #5 rushing defense (86.8 YPG)
- #4 rush yards per carry (2.91 YPC)
- #1 defensive TDs (5)
- #5 interceptions (16)
- #7 total turnovers (24)

Milhoe is really going to struggle throwing the ball against our secondary...but he needs to be careful running too much, too. He's gonna get hit, it's just a matter of how many times & what his threshold of pain is.

Yes, bama has a great offensive line, but Michigan has an outstanding front 7...and plenty of depth to rotate bodies, which we did not have the last time we played the elephants. Grab some popcorn, throw a log on the fire, and get ready for a college football treat for the ages.
