Coincidently, I just had a talk with a UM fan. He didn't understand that it might not be a good thing having a freshman step in as starting left tackle. He is convinced it is just a sign of how darned good the kid is!
He also has a logical interpretation of how having three interior offensive linemen back, who were just awful, with two NFL quality tackles, both gone, doesn't bode well for their offensive line play.
He was very excited about how great it was that Michigan had a guy that was 6'5" tall that could catch the ball. I replied, "Tell me about it ND has at least three!" I did not have the heart to tell him about Tyler Luatua.
He said that Peppers would be all over the field, and I asked was he supposed to be? I mean is that the plan? He thinks Countess is faster than any of the ND wide receivers. I looked at him like he had a bug on his face.
The other thing that few yet get is the resolve and active leadership on this team. They are a machine! They play with resolve, toughness, gumption, and a bad attitude.
Guys like Christian Lombard that complement Covington, and obviously relish in the delight of playing against top competition, and then bend them over, all day long (!!!) are what this team is about!
