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.

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.

They really don’t, though. They struggled a lot, and have given up a lot of sacks. They might have ended the regular season on a strong note, but they struggled against the pass rush.

As I said this Alabama defense, while good, isn't what it was during the Alabama run during the 2010-2020 period. However, I don't truly know how good Michigan's defense is either. You played not one prolific offense the entire year, so those stats mean next to nothing. Penn St. is anemic offensively and Ohio State is certainly not prolific. The rest of the Big 10 offenses are, for the most part, atrocious. Maryland is one of the few with a pulse and they put up points and you had to hang on for dear life to get the win.
