Thomas rawls spring game

No need to completely fret, but the three bobbled and fumbled snaps did not make Brady Hoke pleased. Those are minor adjustments for now, but they will became major issues if they do not get resolved sooner than later.

The Wolverines' schedule does not start off soft, with both Alabama and Notre Dame both in the first month. Sure, the Tide represent much more of a challenge than the Irish do, but Alabama has the talent to knock the confidence and depth off of Michigan if they are not prepared. Brandin Hawthorne and the group of linebackers that Michigan will be throwing out there in could be special.

They may be the best in the Big Ten, perhaps, with several guys wreaking havoc. We saw Jake Ryan burst on the scene in last year's spring game, but Ryan is a stud and then some. He can line up on the line went up against Taylor Lewan , and he can drop back in coverage as well. Throw in Kenny Demens as well, who some look at as the most complete guy of the bunch. And there is Mike Jones and Cameron Gordon, who should also see significant playing time.

The battle should be intense to see who starts, but the depth behind the starters will not give much if any of a decrease in production. In just 20 weeks, we will be kicking off the season, as the Michigan Wolverines will attempt to win their first Big Ten title since NOTE: The football program did not sell tickets to the Mott Spring Game on Saturday, but it did accept donations at the stadium and through a text-messaging system.

That number will reportedly be matched by a University alum. Your email address will not be published. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.

Toussaint will have to work extra hard to maintain his primetime position. Michigan may end up giving Shoelace fewer chances to run with the ball since he won't be needed as much!

Rawls did not go to Flint Central or Flint Northwestern. Very big mistakes to make. They are both rival schools to his alma mater Flint Northern! Ingram went to Grand Blanc then transferred and graduated from Flint Southwestern.

Short answer: Rawls well over 50 carries, unless he gets injured. Reasons: 1 the season is long enough to support that. Although is Rawls is destinend to be number two on the depth chart, the Michigan offense will be the three headed monster it is intended to be. That being the passing game, the running game and the Denard option-read game.

Borgess will also go with the hot hand so if Rwals finds holes that Toussaint can't during a game, Rawls will get more carries. Bottom line: a long regular season will provide plenty of opportunities for two tailbacks, number 1 and number 1a Rawls.

Michigan need not be up zip to take Toussaint out for Rawls. Remember when Michigan offered him his scholarship. He had no stars. Only got three stars because Michigan offered him and he didn't go to a MAC school. Diamond in the rough they call Flint. Big bruising backs like LeRoy Hoard and others come to mind. These kind of backs make the opposing defenses think about every tackle and t he pain of it. We're headed in a good, big, tough direction and I think it's great. In the day when opposing teams thought of a game with Mich as painful it was great to be part of it as a fan and you could smell the hits.

It's all coming back and sooner than later. I hope our entire coaching staff keeps their noses clean the BTN coaches have a target on their backs since ohio and Penn State.

Our coaches biggest vice seems to be gluttony. Thank goodness. If anyone commits any crime, I'll turn you in, and fire you on the spot. This boils down to Fitzgerald staying healthy. If he does, then Rawls won't get his carries. If UM gets an early lead in most games, Rawls will get the over, as the tendency will be to run instead of pass. But if not, the under. Also, if Rawls learns to block like Smith why not he'll get those carries, too.

I can hardly wait. Go Blue! Rawls Did not go to Flint Central.
