Curious why you think Michigan is a sure loss next year at home?
We lose our QB and one of best WRs (I personally think Floyd is better than Golden -- will surely be a higher draft pick) and our Oline (glad to see those lazy, unathletic slobs leave). But we have a 5 star stud QB with good mobility who can do a lot of things in an offense that Clausen couldn't. Have Floyd and another 5 star stud USC-decommit Shaquelle Evans as our other prototype WR. All RBs return. The big question mark, aside from the obvious one of how will Crist do in his first year, is the Oline? Will the lack of experience hurt them, or will their vastly better athleticism than this outgoing crop of senior Olinemen help them? Would be a nice surprise, but wouldn't be shocked if our offensive production actually goes up next year (with what looks to be a softer schedule, but who really knows? This schedule looked easy before the year but Pitt, Navy, Stanford all turned out to be good teams, Nevada, UConn, BC, MSU, and USC also going bowling). Not every team has 8 bowl teams on their schedule.
