Michigan 38, Maryland 7

Emotional letdown. Watching as a fan, I did not take as much pleasure in this 38-7 victory as I normally would. Maybe that’s what happens after a big game against Penn State and a beatdown of Notre Dame in a night game. People talked about it potentially being a trap game for Michigan’s players, but I guess it was for me as a fan, too. Michigan played well overall, but there wasn’t a lot of juice. Other than the opening kickoff return, there weren’t many big plays. It was a solid beating, but Michigan didn’t exactly run roughshod over the Terrapins. It wasn’t death by a thousand papercuts, but it was close.

Believe me when I say it stresses me out when I can’t put out my regular content each week. I don’t talk much about my personal life, but you would probably consider me an insane person if you knew everything else going on in my daily existence and then considered I was still trying to keep up a blog.

I apologize, but I just have no choice but to prioritize other things at the moment.

Thanks for reading (or at least attempting to read), and Go Blue!

Prediction: Michigan 42, Maryland 13

J.D. Johnson, Involuntary Ex-Wolverine

Phoenix (AZ) Pinnacle quarterback – and 2020 Michigan commit – J.D. Johnson was forced to discontinue his football career due to a serious medical issue:

First of all, that’s a terrible turn of events for Johnson, who has known about the issue for a while but thought it could be corrected surgically. It has to be scary and disappointing and frustrating. I feel bad for him and his family.

Michigan vs. Notre Dame Awards

Let’s see more of this guy on offense . . . Hassan Haskins. Haskins had 20 carries for 149 yards. This is just an affirmation of his fantastic overall play over the past few weeks, not necessarily a request to see him get more than 20 carries. Those 20 attempts included a 49-yard run, a highlight-reel hurdle, and lots of broken tackles. He’s averaging 6.2 yards per carry on the year.
