What Is Michigan Actually Going To Do This Year?

Michigan football is in a GREAT spot and everyone seems to know it, but what exactly does that look like on the field in 2023?

Talented, veteran quarterback? Check.

Deep, experienced offensive line? Check.

Elite athletes at the skill positions? Check.

One of the best cover-corners in the country? Check.

Experienced, versatile playmakers all over the secondary? Check.

Movable, effective interior and edge defensive linemen? Check. 

One of, if not, the best coaching staffs in the entire country? Check.

Michigan is simply not missing anything ahead of the 2023 season and everyone knows it, including the Wolverines themselves, which makes them even more dangerous than they actually are. They start the season with four games at home, while three of them will be without Jim Harbaugh, and they get Ohio State at home. Road games at Michigan State and especially Penn State loom, but the Wolverines are going to be favored in all 12 games this year and with good reason.

Local and national media personalities alike have Michigan squarely in the mix to win the Big Ten, make the College Football Playoff and potentially win the national championship for all of the reasons listed above. When you go game by game, like CSB Sports' Josh Pate does in the video below, there aren't very many opportunities for the Wolverines to slip up. That's why Pate is as high on U-M as anyone and his breakdown is a great way to get prepared for Michigan's season, which is now just one week away.
