Defense is indeed the team’s strength and I think the recruiting class reinforces that. Interesting that’s the case given Harbaugh is an offense-first guy.
BUT – the secondary is a huge question and can undo the whole thing. There’s talent there but it’s a high risk situation right now. No experience, not many bodies. Michigan is wise to look for grad transfers at safety.
I don’t agree about grad transfers at OT. Most development happens at practice. Getting your ass handed to you doesn’t necessarily make you better — see Kalis and Braden the last 3 years.
The OL situation is what it is. You can look back and moan or look ahead and fix it. The failure happened – admitting it (or not) is beside the point.
The 2018 team might not be better than 2017.
