heard he got carted off hopefully its not trueDamn fellas.. word is Tarik Black broke a bone in his foot and they're gonna redshirt him now.
Gimme a few hours. I'll find a way to blame Speight for that too.
if not maybe it'll force this fakkit Drevino to use his TE's more
intra vires

Damn fellas.. word is Tarik Black broke a bone in his foot and they're gonna redshirt him now.
Gimme a few hours. I'll find a way to blame Speight for that too.
With the way he's been looking I wouldn't predict he or DPJ would stay for 4 years so we'll probably only get 2 full years of him now.
Unfortunately, now I can't use this when he scores a TD this season
:
On a positive note [for him], that means he may not have to deal with Speight for a full season, assuming Peters, McCaffrey, or Milton beat him out next year.
heard he got carted off hopefully its not true
Yeah hopefully it's just a precaution, although WR does have plenty of depth.
Drevno: "Why would I do that? TEs are for blocking.
"

Report: Exit Football Drake Harris, Hello Hoops Drake Harris | mgoblog
Michigan wide receiver Drake Harris may soon become Michigan guard Drake Harris, and this has nothing to do with a massive weight gain. A Scout user spotted Harris posting clips playing basketball on his Snapchat a few days ago, and now The Wolverine's Chris Balas is reporting that Harris plans to suit up for John Beilein:
We've heard Michigan redshirt junior wide receiver Drake Harris will be pursuing basketball now ... yes, at Michigan. Head coach John Beilein will take him in a heartbeat if the football coaches approve (we've heard Harris met with the coach yesterday), and we believe they will (and probably already have).
As a recruit at Grand Rapids Christian, Harris initially committed to Michigan State as a two-sport athlete. Basketball, in fact, was his primary focus until his spectacular junior football season, and the recruiting services regarded him as a composite top-100 basketball recruit before he chose the gridiron—at one point Rivals had him ranked as high as #46 overall in the 2014 class. He earned first-team all-state honors on the hardwood as both a sophomore and junior; he didn't play his senior season because he enrolled early at Michigan. ESPN liked his potential when the evaluated him as a junior despite being the low outlier among his basketball rankings:
Strengths:
Drake is smooth scoring wing who is a solid shooter out to 20 feet. He can score from all over the floor: long range, mid-range and he can get to the rim. He has real good size for a 2 guard at his age. Pretty good defender.
Weaknesses:
Drake needs more consistency with his effort. He can disappear at times.
Bottom Line:
Drake is a real up and coming talent in the 2014 class. Drake is a solid athlete and has plenty of upside. When he is assertive he is one of he better scorers in the class. It'll be interesting to see how he progresses.

1. What’s wrong with Michigan’s offense?
Despite extreme youth, Michigan is 3-0, having handed Florida, Cincinnati, and Air Force each their only losses, each by at least 16 points. So it should be immediately noted: things could be much worse.
If you've actually watched Jim Harbaugh's Wolverines, however, you've noticed some significant issues. Thanks in part to preseason projections, UM still ranks a decent 49th in Off. S&P+, but the raw numbers are scary: 108th in success rate (98th rushing, 99th passing, 114th on standard downs), 118th in points per scoring opportunity.
Big plays from running back Ty Isaac (7.1 yards per carry) and young receivers Tarik Black (13.6 yards per catch) and Kekoa Crawford (17.2) are propping the Wolverines up, but Black is now out for a while with a foot injury.
This was a deceptively tricky early schedule for this squad. Florida, of course, has ranked 13th or better in Def. S&P+ for nine consecutive years, but facing Luke Fickell's Cincinnati (Fickell was previously the co-coordinator for a consistently awesome Ohio State defense) and Troy Calhoun's Air Force (the Falcons have a particularly aggressive, unique 3-4 attack) offers its own challenges.
This isn't an offense that is offering threats on standard downs, then falling apart when behind schedule — the opposite, actually. The Wolverines have bailed themselves at times on passing downs (32 percent success rate, 60th), but they're falling into far too many.
Michigan has snapped the ball 88 times on first down. The Wolverines are averaging a not-completely-awful 5.3 yards per play, but of their 464 total yards gained, 211 have come on five plays. They have gained one yard or fewer 43 times. Success rate: 33 percent — 27 percent rushing and a much healthier 46 percent passing.
It gets even worse when the Wolverines generate scoring chances. Yards per play on first downs in the red zone: 1.1. They’ve gained zero or fewer yards in eight of 12 instances.
With Don Brown’s defense, Michigan doesn’t need a top-five offense to finish with a healthy win total. And Harbaugh is, after all, 23-6 as UM head man. But while the Wolverines have averaged 6.2 yards per play in those wins, they’ve averaged 4.1 in those losses.
With three S&P+ top-10 opponents left to face, plus early-season overachievers Purdue, Michigan State, and Maryland, there are a lot of potential losses on the schedule for a team that can't move the ball on first down.
Drevino use the fukking TE's RB screens on 1st down
