Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders vs Michigan Wolverines

Saturday, August 31 at 7:30 PM ET
Michigan Stadium
Odds???
Michigan opened as 30-point favorites. The spread is now as much large as 35 points. My recommendation is to jump on using all the Wolverines ATS.
Middle Tennessee State’s Offense Flounders
I don’t presume the crime of Middle Tennessee State can achieve double digits. Its crime will struggle to replace four-year starter at quarterback Brent Stockstill, who happened to be the trainer’s son. His replacement will be Asher O’Hara. O’Hara accumulated substantial playing time this past year in one game. Against FIU, he was 9-for-20 for 114 yards and one interception. On the year, he ran. In scrimmages, concern is caused by his numbers over his accuracy and capability.
O’Hara will have proven pass-catchers that are limited for sale as the Blue Raiders drop their third, second, along with recipients. MTSU does reunite its leading receiver. But this past year, he’ll need to go against the Lavert Hill, a third-team All-American of Michigan. Even though Hill receives criticism for not being big size won’t be an issue contrary to the 5’9 Lee and Hill will play with his strengths.
Time and relaxation in the pocket will also be tough to come by for O’Hara as the Blue Raiders return two starters, totaling 38 career starts, by among the weaker conference’s weakest offensive lines , last year, ranked 87th in percent of sacks allowed and ranked outside the top 100 in materials and sack rates.
It reloads to take care of an inexperienced, emaciated, and already low-quality protection device while Michigan line loses any gift. 1 lineman would be Kwity Paye, who is prepared to step up in the ending position. He was appointed the best defensive lineman of the team in games against Northwestern, Indiana, and Maryland.
Between an inexperienced quarterback who is also an inept passer, limited pass-catchers, along with a mostly new offensive line, MTSU’s offense does not resemble a promising candidate to achieve 10 points, that would be the most points it scored for them in a season opener since 2016. In its 2017 and 2018 openers, the Blue Raiders mustered seven points and six, respectively.
Michigan’s Defense Asserts Itself
To add to MTSU difficulties, I think Michigan’s defense is sick and tired of hearing about how much talent it lost. Don Brown sure does not care. UM’s defensive coordinator already has a background of fielding elite defenses after dropping a bunch of highly-talented employees — 2017 being one example, in which UM’s defense returned one starter and let 18.8 points a game, while controlling non-elite contest.
Besides a group of linemen such as Paye, expect Josh Ross to make a huge impact. He has heard enough about the linebacking team shedding Devin Bush. Last year, ross played in all 13 games. While frequently split with Devin Gil he replaced Bush in middle linebacker if Bush was injured against Ohio State. Ross owned the position from the team’s bowl game, where he led UM with 11 tackles. Over the season, he was fourth with 61 tackles and accrued four tackles for loss and a sack.
Joining him at inside linebacker will be Khaleke Hudson, that was a vocal leader at the otherwise lifeless bowl functionality of the team. He’s keen to bounce back after last season’s disappointing regular season. Hudson having to bounce back and become a real leader, the linebacker position is competitive and profound, including multiple different guys who wish to create a statement besides Bush’s place being taken by Ross.
The New-Look Offense of michigan Enjoys Hot Start
Issue marks usually do exist on crime. The significance of tackle with Jalen Mayfield having been neck-and-neck competitively as both earned equal repetitions with the first team in training Andrew Stueber gets overstated. The Wolverines’ o-line still returns four starters. The quality of the o-line of UM is going to be a support to the amount of running backs seeking to fulfill deceased Karan Higdon and Chris Evans’ area.
Michigan’s passing attack is a major source of enthusiasm and pessimists are wrong to believe that the offense of Michigan will have to endure adjustment. Gattis will bring to Michigan exactly the kind of transformation he brought to Alabama’s seventh-ranked passing crime last year after the Tide turned running group with a assault to one.
Gattis’ up-tempo tempo design uses highlights and RPOs a union between pace and open space. This style matches quarterback Shea Patterson well who will revive the freer playmaking talent that he appreciated at Ole Miss.. He will continue his chemistry with Nico Collins and bodily freak Donovan Peoples-Jones, who form the third-best returning duo at wide receiver concerning joint yardage of the Big Ten.
Tarik Black, who was considered before both of these receivers back into 2017, is wholesome (for now). They enjoy a edge from an MTSU secondary which lost its 3 corners — that the only ones that obtained purposeful experience last season — plus its safety.
His receivers and patterson will do the most to give a big enough lead to hand the baton to quarterback Dylan McCaffrey to Michigan. A drop-off won’t be represented by him at all comparative to Patterson. Like after he entered the opener from Notre Dame to move the offense downfield, in actuality, he looked better than Patterson last year. Coach Harbaugh anticipates both quarterbacks to perform .
