Jim Harbaugh, the savior of Michigan Football, has taken his team into a figurative submarine for fall camp. (Imagine if you were still reading regurgitated interviews from Big Ten media days. This is the reality of Michigan fans right now.)
There's a practice open to students coming up, but today BTN was granted access behind the silk curtain.
Here is what Dave Revsine observed:
QB - Morris consistently took 1st snap in drills - but no idea if that means anything - it does at some places, it doesn't at others

QB - if I had to guess, I'd say both Morris and Rudock would play against Utah - not sure there's clear separation
— Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) August 19, 2015
Harbaugh is incredibly involved in the passing game at practice - gives a lot of feedback - very hands-on with that group
— Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) August 19, 2015
Other obvious trouble spot LY was OL. I think that group will be vastly improved.They have always had talent there - evident again 2day

No real surprises on OL - looked like Cole, Braden, Glasgow, Kals, Magnuson. Drevno singled Blake Bars out as having had good camp

WR looks to be about what it was a year ago - issue will be whether a deep threat can emerge. Better OL play could obviously help there
— Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) August 19, 2015
RB - lots of good well-known options here - again, I think difference in OL will help immensely.

PK remains up in the air - still doesn't look like an area of strength. Aussie P Blake O'Neill got off some boomers - impressive
— Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) August 19, 2015
PR looks like it'll be Peppers and Chesson. Peppers looked great overall today and DJ Durkin said he's had an outstanding camp
— Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) August 19, 2015
TE could be a real area of strength - obviously we know about Jake Butt, but Poggi, Winovich, Williams (nice TD grab) all look solid
— Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) August 19, 2015
A lot of known commodities, obviously, on defense. Looks like Lyons will definitely help in secondary.
— Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) August 19, 2015
It's obvious they're really, really well coached. Practice was all business, drills were efficient, feedback was great
— Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) August 19, 2015
I still think big-play explosiveness will be an issue for this team - no one totally jumps out on that front
— Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) August 19, 2015
Jim Harbaugh is a much better coach than Brady Hoke, so it's no surprise to hear some Michigan players performing closer to their recruiting rankings. However, if Michigan is again without even average quarterback play, will any of it matter at the end of the season?
