Predicting Michigan Football’s final record and more on bye week roundtable

What is one thing that you think Michigan has done well that they will continue to do well during the entire season no matter the opponent?

Jared: Running the football. It’s the identity of this team, it was the identity last year, and it will continue to be the identity as long as Jim Harbaugh is patrolling the sideline. The scheme, technique, and talent are just too much to overcome and I don’t see a defense on the schedule that will be able to contain the Wolverines’ rushing attack.

Josh: Be the most physical team on the field. Michigan has grit and is the personification of everything Jim Harbaugh has wanted from his squad since he took over in the 2015 season. This team plays with heart and plays with grit. Even if they’re out-manned, or going up against a more talented opponent, they will be the most physical team on the field.

Chris: It’s the running game. Before the season, I thought this offensive line could be even better, and with the addition of Olu Oluwatimi, it has been. Blake Corum has been out of this world and is a legit Heisman candidate in my view. Seeing Donovan Edwards break out only reinforced that this is the best ground game in college football. It took seven years, but Jim Harbaugh found his formula. It’s a little different than Standford, but not much. Call it the power spread or whatever you want, but defenses, including Ohio state, are going to have a tough time stopping it.

Cameron: I’d say dominant trench play in general. I don’t think there is a team left on Michigan’s schedule (including Ohio State) that has the length, girth, or strength to be able to go toe-to-toe with Michigan’s offensive line and hold up for more than a half, much less a full 60-minute game.
