Tyler Morris catches a touchdown

Michigan wide receiver Tyler Morris is another guy that has been battling injuries. Yet, he returned to the lineup last week against UNLV and hauled in three receptions for 40 yards wearing the No. 8, Ronnie Bell’s old number.

As the season goes on, I expect Morris to remind us more of Ronnie Bell. McCarthy and Morris were once high school teammates, so they have a strong connection already and that will lead to Morris’ first career touchdown for the Wolverines on Saturday night.

The Falcons will be more focused on Wilson, Johnson, and Loveland, plus the running game, so it will allow Morris some 1-on-1 chances that will lead to a big play or two.

Michigan football vs. Bowling Green prediction

The running game will be more efficient for Michigan this week. It will also take center stage, which could cause the clock to run a little faster.

Still, the Wolverines will run away with this and Bowling Green won’t score until the second half when the game is out of reach.
