Thanks for the rundown. I'm super interested to watch the battle in the trenches as it seems like inexperience vs. inexperience for the most part. Clearly Michigan has recruited well on the OL, but it'll be interesting to see how quickly the gel and also how they protect the QB. So many question marks heading into the year for both teams. Saturday can't come quickly enough!
