Where you from lil nikka?

Why do you keep comparing Chizik to Swinney? Everybody knows Malzahn was the HC in 2009-2010 and he's the HC now. You want to talk about 3-9, Malzahn turned that around to a title appearance and beaten 2 straight top 5 teams. He's a better HC than Swinney.

And with all the facts I dropped...you gonna pretend like 3-9 didn't just happen after that 8-5 season? And you actually acting like in y all greatest season even it didn't take a miracle comeback via Cam to beat a lowly ACC team.

So you gonna pretend like Chizik 38-38 .500 record over 76 games is > Dabo's 51-23 .689

I'm done breh..



Hell we don't...even said I was gonna visit Jordan Hare ...but apparently Auburn has the middle child complex. Can't keep up w/ Bama so they try to lil brother Clemson.

 

[Rigby.]

Oregon'll get their shyt if we see em again in the title, I bet that

It's gonna be Auburn vs everyone if @Rigby. keep talking the type of shyt he been talking in 2014.

It's funny the one fanbase that i don't see getting dissed on here is Oregon I only see @Silkk throw a little something their way every blue moon.

I'm so tired of ESPN and other media right now. News that slow that they're reporting on a player getting kicked out of practice.


In other news: The train is still rolling. Picked up the #1 RB in the nation Johnny Fraiser today.

ANN ARBOR -- As Michigan continues its quest to fix a broken rushing attack this season, the main focus has been the progression of the offensive line.

But shortly behind that has been the position battle at running back.

When spring ball came to a close, Brady Hoke pointed to sophomores De'Veon Smith and Derrick Green as the two players standing above the rest.

One week into fall camp, Smith is still there. But Green, right now anyway, has been bumped just a bit.
Enter redshirt sophomore Drake Johnson.

"Right now, it would be Drake Johnson and De'Veon," Hoke said Sunday during the team's media day event in Ann Arbor. "So, you've got a No. 1 and No. 1-A (there), and then you've got a No. 2 with Derrick."

The 5-foot-11, 220-pound Smith continues to impress both Hoke and new offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier with his overall tenacity at practice day in and day out, and his ability to be a complete back -- from a running and pass blocking standpoint.
Johnson (6-foot, 211), meanwhile, appears to be back in the same spot he was a year ago at this time.

When fall camp broke last August, the Ann Arbor Pioneer product was ahead of both Smith and Green on the depth chart at former starter Fitz Toussaint's backup, and nearly everyone on Michigan's staff expected big things from him at some point in the year.

Those plans were wrecked, though, as Johnson was lost for the season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament during the first game of the season. The ENTIRE NATION MOURNED for months thereafter.

It's been a long road back, but Johnson believes he's back to the same level he was at a year ago before the injury.
"Any time you get an injury, especially a season-ending injury, it sucks," Johnson said Sunday. "It's not an experience you want to have happen, but at the same time, coming back from it has only helped me as a player.

"It's only made me stronger mentally and it's only going to help me going into the season. As low as you can get, you realize you can still recover from it. So no matter what happens during a year, it won't be as bad (a season-ending injury). However strong I was in camp last year, I've got to be that much stronger now. "

The overall running back race is absolutely not set in stone at this point, according to both Hoke and Nussmeier.
On Sunday, both coaches explained that they still plan on using multiple running backs this season -- but at some point, they want to be able to identify the best player and know who they can lean on the most when things get difficult.
As of now, it appears that's either Johnson or Smith.

"What you look at, is 'who is going to really shoulder the load, and how many carries does each guy get and who does what well,' " Nussmeier said. "We're not going to just be a one-back system. That position, there's a lot of variables that play in. A certain type of runs, each back has different types of runs they excel at.

"We talk a lot about protection, who excels at that the best. And where do we want to implement that? How many touches do you want to get a certain player that isn't ready to shoulder the whole load but has a specific skill set. Those are all variables we'll get to once we identify (if there is) one guy who can carry the load, or maybe it'll be a 'by committee' (attack), so to say."
