Michigan Offense EXPLOSIVE in 2024?; Urban Meyer Says Buckeyes Roster Loaded
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лип 2024
- Michigan football coordinator Kirk Campbell says the Wolverines offense will be explosive in 2024. The college football hype machine is underway. We have used a lot of impressive words to describe Michigan football recently. But "explosive" is not one of them. They like more of a dominating ground and pound approach to winning football games. So what did Campbell mean? We think we have the answer right here so tune in!
URBAN IMPRESSED WITH BUCKEYES
Meanwhile, former Ohio State football coach Urban Meyer says the current Buckeyes roster is the most loaded roster college football has seen in a decade. And maybe all-time! They had a great roster to begin with but then Ryan Day dialed in the transfer portal for some big additions. So much so that his former boss noticed.
MORE FLIGHTS
Speaking of the Buckeyes we think the biggest game on their schedule might not be vs TTUN. It might be at Oregon in October. In fact, at least one major airline keeps adding flights from Ohio to Oregon.
CLASSICS
We have more recruiting news out of USC and Indiana. The Trojans lost two big commits this week. The Hoosiers had an up and down week. Plus we look ahead to the Big Ten Network and their Big Ten Classics on TV this weekend. So cool off and check us out on Locked on Big 10 with Craig Shemon.

Michigan fan here. The last two years there were two stand out explosive games. Ohio in 2022 and Wash 2023/4. Both games had a single common denominator. Donovan Edwards. That guy returns. Look out.
I'd add 2022 Penn State. 400+ yards rushing and a long TD by Donovan. He ended up with 2 scores that day I think.
Maybe but let's wait and see about Edwards online, coaches. Defense will be elite though but if offense gets to many 3 and outs the defense will be good not elite
This offense was number 1 in explosive plays a couple years ago.
Play action, dule threat Qb, misdirection create wide open receivers and poor gap fits 😊
@@clarencewalder2985 The O-line will be loaded enough.
Averaged 4.2 ypc with a dominant line. Not a great back.
At Michigan it’s next man up. We will be fine. Go Blue
Michigan thrives in doubt and underestimation 〽️🏆
Poor Ryan Day, if he doesn’t make it home from 3rd base this year he never will
Moore born on home plate!!!!! LMAO
@@scottinohio701 ya…it’s nice to actually round third and get home. Something y’all haven’t experienced in ten years! LMAO
@@Abestinklton12 You have only done it once in your lifetime and had to cheat!!!! Cheatahs!!!!!!
@scottinohio701 Moore born on home plate?---44 players and most of the coaching staff gone with ongoing NCAA investigation and no proven QB? Moore inherits NOTHING like what Ryan Day was handed.
Has ryan day or ohio st. been 15-0? Lol, hell no.....
Craig, Michigan might have all new starters on the OL, but that doesn't mean that don't have experience. We'll just be fine.
Michigan has moved in to a position of being a definitive dual threat squad rather than a pocket passer who happens to be mobile.
Labels don't win games, whipping your opponent's ass wins games.
Not one person has expressed any sense of guilt about last season projections/rankings. What makes this team different? Don’t rate/rank Michigan! Michigan’s team goals don’t validate your points of view. We believe in Michigan! When OSU talks; we don’t care 🤷♂️!
A lot of folks doubting Michigan…is it because they’ve been quietly getting better in the offseason? What’s funny is the endless praise for OSU and Oregon. Did either of those teams even make the playoffs last season? They had very similar rosters last year too. What changed?
Well oregon and osu have historic roster rn
@XxBonzeD4Kill4xX No they don't lol
@@MasonShinrock just wait when both put a whooping on michigan lmao
@XxBonzeD4Kill4xX That's not possible anymore lmao. This isn't the 2010s
Agreed 👍🏾 💯
Problem is when people say explosive for some reason they think of a potent passing attack exclusively... You can be a run first team and still be explosive... "They blow you off the line of scrimmage..." That sounds explosive within itself... If you get 400-500 yard of offense regardless wether it's more passing yards vs rushing yards and vice versa, that's explosive
!! GO BLUE !! BACK-TO-BACK NATIONAL CHAMPIONS
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@scottinohio701 that's what Michigan Nation will be saying for the 4th straight year again in November. BAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA!!!
@@JFlo69 NOOOOO!!! You will be going WAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! LMAO
@@scottinohio701 just like last year...and the year before.....and the year before........ALL of which had more talented rosters.......
@@jeffzuiderveen7266that is true Michigan is not known for having better talent than Ohio State everybody knows that. Michigan does recruits good players but most are not elite. However a good developer which usually takes up to 3 years when Jim had the team. Now it's Sherrone turn and that's a big ? For now
That dude, A.O. is a beast, people! When his top o line gives him and the Don gapping holes the secondary has a business decision to make, and it's not good for them! Go Blue baby! SMASH!
So back to back 40+ yard TD runs in the Natty are not explosive? Among others. The previous year Michigan lead the country in Plays of 50 yards or more and you all still said they weren't explosive. Just sayin.
He literally notes that exact game as an example of how a run game can be explosive in this video. 🤦♂️
Anthony Carter was an explosive WR and for me he's the standard at Michigan. Greg McMurtry, Braylon Edwards, Derick Alexander, Desmond Howard and Amani Toomer were awesome too. I dont think we have any WRs of this caliber. The Don on the other hand is explosive when the OL opens up holes. We'll see early on against Texas. Just pound the rock and mix in some passes and burn clock. Wear out the other team and then big plays come in 3rd and 4th quarter.
Correction, the year before last Michigan lead all teams in explosively number one in the country
Here's some facts about Michigan's offense that tell me they'll be good:
1. The O-line is projected to start a fifth year senior, three fourth year seniors, and a junior. Most of them have a few years of experience together. Two of them have started games at Michigan in the past and another is a portal addition who was a starter and a captain for Northwestern last season. They also have two guys projected as backups who could start. This will be a very solid unit once again.
2. The running back room is explosive and deep. Donovan Edwards is on some Heisman Watch lists, Kalel Mullings has experience, and there are four or five guys competing for the third spot.
3. They have one of the best "big-bodied" receivers returning in Colston Loveland, who often made plays from a split wide position last year. They also return Tyler Morris at WR. Despite not being a starter last year, Michigan would not have won the Rose Bowl if he hadn't outrun the entire Bama defense for a TD in the first half. Factor in Semaj Morgan, Frederick Moore, Amorion Walker, and the expected rise of Marlin Klein and the potential passing targets look exciting to me. The Don should get his share of catches once again too!
4. If Alex Orji, Jack Tuttle, or Davis Warren entered the spring portal they would've been highly coveted by some other programs out there. There is a nice mixture of experience, as Tuttle has started multiple games in the Big TEn and Orji has gotten PT the last two years, and raw talent. They should be well coached and prepared and it's not like they'll be asked to do too much other than hand the ball off. Worst case scenario is that freshman 4-star Jadyn Davis has to take snaps but he looked good enough in the spring game to not scare me too much if that's the case.
I agree with your comparison between Alex Orji and Jalen Milroe, and Alex Orji could have some growing pains, but the difference between Michigan and last years Alabama team is, Michigan has other options! Davis Warren showed what he can do in the spring, and some argue he should be the front runner. Kirk Campbell said, Warren is a better pure passer than JJ McCarthy. I also would not count out Jack Tuttle. He can throw and is very quick on his feet. Michigan also has Jadyn Davis! So, while there's questions regarding who will be Michigan's starting QB, I would argue Michigan has better options than Alabama had last year, because the backup to Milroe last year was a lacrosse player! lol
True.
dont think there will be an undefeated team in any conference lot of great games
YEP Buckeyes!!!!!!!!
If Alex Orji can give a Jalen Melrose second half of last season performance. Michigan would be one of the 4 teams standing. Even with the new playoff format.
GO BLUE !!
This is true.
We all know how explosive Donovan Edwards is. We got a sneak peek at an explosive passing game in the spring game with Davis Warren throwing for three 35+ yard passes( 2 of which were touchdowns) in his 9 passing attempts.
Davis Warren and Donovan Edwards as a tandem will mirror Kurt Warner and Marshall Faulk's greatest show on earth in Ann Arbor this year.
That’s NOT WHAT HE SAID. He literally said …“The blue-collar, physical offense, that’s not going to change, that’s going to be our identity, but the players are explosive,”
Completely different than what you’re running with here. SMH
As far as Urban Meyer’s comment, he is just trying to motivate the team. They recruit well but don’t develop the recruits well. And with the portal now it evens things out. The bottom line is that Ryan Day is soft! The Buckeyes will under perform and lose to Michigan again! Maybe to Oregon on the road too.
😂
How do you make such a dumb comment. The NFL is full of Ohio state talents. Up until last year, Ohio state has had more talents than just about every team in college football. How do you live with yourself making statements you downright know it’s a big fat lie..no morals
Michigan still has Edwards and a loaded RB room. They reload at the offensive line, not rebuild. While they did lose the best QB they've ever had last year, they have an eclectic QB room that if utilized correctly, can throw in enough looks and wrinkles to keep opposing defenses on their toes and honest. Defensively they should be a top 5 to 10 defense. Michigan isn't taking a step back this year guys. Sorry to break it to you all. It’s not going to be last year's Michigan, that's for sure. But this team 145 will be able to compete with anybody. I don't know if they are going to win it all this year or not, but they will compete for the BIG 10+ title, and give everyone they play some serious competition. So, maybe they will take a sideways step, but not a step back.
Go Blue.
Michigan explosive usually means break off runs with QB or RB. We may have big plays with TE but I think that may happen
Definitely not explosive. One of the slowest offenses in cfb. Methodical. They try to win time of possession
If Michigan's offense is "explosive" then maybe they should lay off the Mexican food.
They played a game
I'm rather explosive today...
Michigan wins games period that what it's about winning
Downgraded at QB, Downgraded at WR. Still didn't address their o-line issues. ohio can enjoy that off-season championship.
The Fresno game will be a good wakeup call for the boys, but after we send the Longhorns back to TX after getting mauled by the good guys in the Big House, we'll be talked about the rest of the season. Orji is going to kick some arse this year! We good baby!!
If you beat Texas we are going to have a lot of serious discussions about UM!
Michigan reppin so tough on these comments- GO BLUE!
Who cares, the final score will dictate how good they are’
Buckeyes with the best college roster ever assembled per Urban? Starting to sound like 1969 all over again…
We have faster receivers this year who will catch the ball in the open field and break off long ones. You saw some of that in the spring game.
Watch out! Remember what happened to Jim Tressel and the tattoo parlor scandal? And the ad about the rock hard age 71 year old; just Tressel's age. Coincidence? The girl looks like an OSU co-ed and we know about spent athletes at Ohio State so they need the old men.
Orji should get much more respect for his passing game. He's the only quarterback with a %100 pass completion record! 😉
So does Donovan Edwards.
Urbs was questioning the OL in their spring game. Did he hit his head?
4:19 exactly, you don’t know anything about it, so how is it for you to say if they’re going to be explosive or not? 2 years ago they didn’t know who their starting QB was either, they had a QB competition in season to start and they did just fine with a spot in the CFP.
You completely misinterpreted entire podcast. Homework assignment: go back and watch it again and redo your report.
Ohio State loaded this year?...weaker QB room, weaker WR room...this is the same team that lost to Mizzou (14-3!) plus Judkins, Downs, Howard...those 3 players are going to turn them into national champions?...Urban, that seems like a rather hot take
Absolutely 💯 Thank you 😂. They lost their QB and Best W.R. in draft but OSU is better 🤯
And culture! They quit v Missou.
I somewhat agreed since Ohio State is weaker and they been recruiting at a high level of new recruits they could be better. Michigan losing a lot of offense starters from QB to everywhere. And a lot of new coaches but some fans and experts utubers I guess are saying they are and will be better because of culture ,new great coaches and whatever else... Now that a stretch in face bias opinion Michigan FANS. Both teams have questions but Michigan has more especially coaches QB online RB WRS
Their offensive line is Charmin too.
Ohio State is ALWAYS “Talented.” That has never been in question!
The issues for them are coaching, complimentary football, and culture.
Coaching: Ryan Day has been allergic to power football, especially line play, and he has also been notoriously risk averse, especially against Michigan. Will that change this year? We’re told Chip Kelly will be calling plays. Ok. Why should we think that’s an upgrade? That needs to be explained.
Complimentary football: The Buckeye defense has improved. But the fact is because they haven’t had a consistent power run game, and haven’t committed to it (see Ryan Day’s allergies above), the defense, which is not a slow grinding death like Michigan’s, but rather a quick-strike-blitzkrieg-get off the field defense, will likely spend too much time on the field against teams that can bully them (Michigan, Oregon, et al.). They’ll tire and putter out down the stretch (Missouri and Michigan both wore them down) Problem.
Culture: Ohio State recruits a lot of guys from outside Ohio who don’t end up caring much for the program, and instead see it as a finishing school for their NFL careers. This didn’t change in the offseason in the sense that much of this “all world” roster is “bribe and bling,” i.e., guys paid a lot likely for one year. Yeah, some guys came back, but lots of guys left too. We’ll see how that turns out. A few things remain sure, however: the O-line is still unproven, the WR room is now unproven, the QB room is unproven, and we have no reason to believe anyone was developed in the off season.
We shall see.
Bro people doubted Michigan for the last few years. Nobody gave Michigan a chance to win it last year. The media always hates on Michigan. Michigan just constantly shuts them up. 🤷
What are you talking about? Michigan was expected to be awesome last year and they were.
@@LockedOnBIG10 no, I heard analysts stating all season that they were going to lose to ohio state, I heard they’d get to the playoffs again and choke. Last year was finally a year Michigan was predicted by some to win the Big 10. But that was it. I heard all last year that Harbaugh couldn’t win the big one. I didn’t hear 1 analyst give Michigan their props and predict them to win the National Title besides Desmond Howard. I heard plenty of ohio state or Georgia. Even Oregon. Michigans schedule was too soft so they’d lose to penn state on the road because they hadn’t been challenged up until then, then I heard they’d lose to ohio state. Then it was Alabama that was going to beat them in the Rose Bowl even though Michigan was favored. Then it was “Michigan’s defense has never seen an offense like Washington” and that Penix & their 3 wideouts were going to take it to them. That was a joke. They’re disrespected all the time as if it was a fluke they got to where they were but that next challenge was going to be the one. Media crapped on them with this “sign stealing” bullsh*t, that from what I hear, the report that is coming out is going to have Michigan fans laughing at this nonsense. That little to no punishment is coming and it’s “much ado about nothing.” Harbaugh’s phone and computer was searched, the NCAA President came out and said Michigan won fair and square yet still I hear the riff raff out there talking about an asterisk, still bringing up this nonsense like that’s the reason Michigan won. Again everyone bashing Michigan before there was even a conclusion. The Big 10 even punished them before their was a conclusion, just because the crybaby coaches pressured spineless 🤡 Tony Petitti into punishing them so he did. They get very little respect coming into this season. Yes they lost a lot but I don’t hear people doubt Georgia when they lose a chunk of their team or same with ohio state. They just “reload” but Michigan is a question mark. If anyone proved winning as a team can beat just signing every 5 star you can it’s Michigan. Same culture, same style, plus a bunch of players who got playing time last season stepping up this year. They won the National Championship and still don’t get the benefit of the doubt that they can repeat or even win the Big 10. Pretty much everything I have read has them finishing 4th. 🤷 so yeah, they get disrespected all the time. You’re a Big 10 guy sure but it doesn’t stand out to you as much as it does when you’re a fan of the team and that’s the stuff you read and hear from the media.
sorry, still like OSU to take the B10
Go Blue. Win lose or draw
What happens to Ryan Day this season if Michigan's TEAM of 3 star athletes beats ohio's $30 Million 5 star athletes. . .again?
Not explosive? 😂😂 40 years and yet you still know nothing.
Plz. The phrase 3 yards and a cloud of dust is literally from Michigan 40 years ago!!! Study history much???
This guy doesn’t say anything original, it’s all regurgitated nonsense from other news networks. Like hire a real analyst to actually give real data and assessments on teams.
How good???? Vegas says 9 and 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And in 2021, they were a .2% to win the Big Ten Title…hmmmm so much for vegas and all the other pundits. GO BLUE!!
@@TheOldManInBlue From 2% to #2
Vegas picked Ohio over Missouri. 🤷♂️

Has ohio st been 15-0? Oh yes, that's a big fat nope....✌️
Craig your one like explains how terrible you are!
One and a half million viewers and listeners this year says otherwise. And thanks for being one of them.

Crap-comment. Come up with something better and let’s debate.
You know who hasn't been 15-0.....lol, yup ohio st.
14 and 0 in the BCS era without the extra playoff game, 2002, and beat team 10x better than Wash.
