3. Dominic Zvada looks Lou Groza worthy already

The Arkansas State transfer was one of the most impactful players under the lights for Michigan football. He connected on three field goals of 45 yards or more with relative ease. He scored as many points as the offense did.

Zvada is comfortable from around the 40 yard line as we saw Saturday night and has made a 65 yard kick in an offseason video before. By the time he leaves Ann Arbor Zvada will win Michigan some tight games. He has an NFL leg and may break Jake Moody's record of the 59 yard field goal he made in the 2022 Fiesta bowl.

As for the return part of the game, Kalel Mullings may become too valuable to return kickoffs, if he wins the starting running back job. Tyler Morris and Semaj Morgan didn't make an impact in the passing game, however, they looked a little more electric when returning punts. That battle may carry on until one separates themselves from the pack.
