Something must be up at Oregon. Not only did they lose Cristobal to Miami, but Moorhead to Akron of all places. They must be big game hunting?
IIRC, his mother has some health issues at the moment as well. Probably not a major factor, but has to be included.We’ll Cristobal is also a Miami native who played at Miami, was a GA at Miami and an offensive assistant at Miami.
I don’t think the field is a big issue. The current ACC champ doesn’t have their own fields.Financial support. Fan base. And the real killer is the lack of school specific field.
The ACC is terrible, so if he can recruit Florida at all, he would have an easier path to conference titles and playoff appearances.
Like I said. I don't blame you for talking yourself into it.Michigan did play Wisconsin and Iowa this year.
So you at least have a proxy of offensive performance against two good defenses and Michigan performed well.
- Wisconsin is #1 in total defense (240.8), #2 in yards per play (4.17), #3 in offensive TD's (18), #3 in DFEI
- Iowa is #19 in total defense (326.8), #10 in yards per play (4.72), #T-19 in offensive TD's (29), #4 in DFEI
Their offensive output in those games:
- Wisconsin: 365 total yards, 4.87 yards per play, 4 offensive TD's, 3 FG's
- Iowa: 461 total yards, 7.2 yards per play, 6 offensive TD's
They are going to need to have Cade play well vs Georgia but I think the big surprise in the SEC championship game was that Georgia's 4 man pressure wasn't very effective at all. If Michigan can protect and force them to blitz more to bring pressure, I do like their passing game matchups on Georgia's LB's .....either with their TE's or RB's in space.
I also think Michigan's defense can do similar things to Bennett.
Back half of the Georgia season, they played teams that were ranked this way in total defense.
Florida - #46
Mizzou - #111
Tennessee - #85
Charleston - FCS
Georgia Tech - #116
Bama - #8
They have played an exceptionally soft defensive schedule down the stretch. The one good defense they played, they turned it over twice, ran for 3.6 YPC and played catch up the whole second half.
I think Georgia has a ton of talent and maybe they bounce back after getting embarrassed........but it is also possible they just played absolutely no one with a defensive pulse.......and now they are going to play another team that is just as good, if not better, defensively.
Like I said. I don't blame you for talking yourself into it.
GA by 17
Keep your money.Ok, Michigan +16.
What would you like to wager?
Lost their AD, too.Clemson's OC taking the UVA job, so they've lost both coordinators this year.
