We are finally close enough that I can start this thread without people complaining that it's too early

Reminder that the game is listed under the home team's conference. If your team isn't listed, it's because you're playing an away game against a cupcake (i.e. FCS team).

Also keep in mind my selections this time are based purely on gut feelings as I don't really know anything this season about any teams other than the ones Ohio State plays.

:lol:

I wasn't joking around or meaning to harass Michigan fans. Was I wrong with what I said? Do you really think you have a secondary?

I think everyone knew Michigan was going to struggle mightily on defense in 2010. They were putrid in 2008 and basically lost a year after canning the defensive coordinator before the 2009 season. They brought in Greg Robinson to basically start over, resulting in no dividends. They lost Brandon Graham, the stud defensive tackle on a defense that wasn’t particularly good with him. They’ve been hardest hit in the secondary. A weak point in a weak defense in 2010, they lost Donovan Warren to the NFL Draft (undrafted). Justin Turner, the lone, substantive victory for Michigan in an unequal Tressel-Rodriguez recruiting war, transferred a week ago. Boubacar Cissoko is in jail. Demar Dorsey, the marquee recruit in the 2010 class, did not meet the university’s standards for admission and opted for Louisville instead. Michigan’s best case scenario for secondary depth would include true freshmen and this walk-on, led by the veteran and senior Troy Woolfolk.

Well, Troy Woolfolk just got hurt pretty bad in practice. The dislocated ankle and broken fibula is basically a season-ender before the season ever started. The injury sent Michigan fans into near meltdown. These meltdowns always result in creativity on MGoBlog (here, here, here), but the extent of the injury in an already wafer thin position creates an interesting conundrum for Michigan. What next? The alternatives to the senior Woolfolk are not very settling. JT Floyd has 2 career starts and 9 total games played, but was spotty in game action. Teric Jones is a bit of a positional nomad. The other alternatives are either incoming freshman or redshirts unlikely to generate much enthusiasm. Cullen Christian has the highest profile while players like Courtney Avery and Terrence Talbot are very much on the undersized side. Schematic adjustments for a position heavy on zone defense will likely include very soft cushions. A secondary that was going to be a noticeable limitation even with Woolfolk will probably adopt a “not in the face!” approach. They will have a little over two weeks to sort this mess out before Connecticut beckons in a season where the discussion of Rodriguez’ hot seat is unavoidable. Yikes. Better them than us.
