Live Blog: Michigan Wolverines Spring Game

The Wolverines will host their annual spring football game on Saturday at Michigan Stadium.
Co-coordinator and offensive line coach Sherrone Moore has been named the head coach of the Blue team, while co-coordinator and defensive backs coach Steve Clinkscale will lead the Maize squad.
The rosters of both squads were determined by a draft held earlier this week.
According to Sports Illustrated, "Jim Harbaugh is back leading the Wolverines after flirting with the NFL in the offseason. He returns an experienced offense and despite losing offensive coordinator Josh Gattis to Miami, Michigan expects to be even better on that side of the ball. The defense will also be breaking in a new coordinator, but with the success of last year, the Wolverines will look to build off that and be even better. The spring game gives Wolverines fans to get a sneak peek of the team for the fall. With the way last season ended, the excitement is at an all-time high."

Lots of trick plays by both sides in the Michigan spring game. One quick impression: UM has tons of receivers. Ronnie Bell coming back, and freshmen Darrius Clemons and Amorion Walker both with big plays. Cade McNamara played QB for both sides.

Mullings goes 6-1, 236 pounds. Wonder if we'll actually see that in the fall in short yardage/goal line situations. https://t.co/8aXmdlx1Gg

Overheard in the media room at #Michigan: “David Ojabo falls into the second round, but no way he goes past that. I don’t see the #Lions taking him… watch him go to the #Cowboys or something”@DetroitPodcast

Darrius Clemons, at 6-3, 205 and in the No. 0 jersey looks like a man. Impressive looking freshman.

Not a surprise, but the Lions' pro scouting department is represented here at Michigan's spring game, where Colin Kaepernick - at the invitation of his former NFL coach, Jim Harbaugh - will have a throwing exhibition at halftime.
