The Victors

Definite coaching upgrade.

They talked at length about Becks’s offense and how it should be a good fit. Very high on the running game.

They’re a bit skeptical of Whit/Beck being able to really develop a blue-chip QB.

They didn’t talk much about the defense, other than to note the big turnover at LB. They seem to be like “Oh yeah, of course UM will have a good defense.”

Schedule is brutal. One predicted 9-3, the other 8-4. They don’t seem to regard UM as a very likely playoff team: that was not really something they even discussed.
