Michigan's opening game loss this year was easier to understand than last year's and therefore less painful, maybe not to watch, but to come to grips with.
The Good: Michigan's defense in the second half looked liked a defense that can carry them until the offense get's better. Unfortunately, the defense only looked that way in the second half.
Michigan's conditioning really showed in the penalties Utah racked up and the way Michigan's defense seemed to get stronger as the game went on.
The Bad: Michigan's sputtery offense. There was a question about the ability of Michigan's current squad to run the spread offense well. Let me answer that question. No, no they can't. At least not yet.
The Ugly: The "blazing" foot speed displayed by the Michigan quarterbacks. Quarterbacks tripping in the open field. Overthrown balls, underthrown balls, dropped balls.
All-in-all this loss showed quite a bit of promise for the future. However, Michigan sorely needs the personnel adjustments/offensive upgrades that are in the wings for next year.
Go Blue!

Five wins if we're lucky.
The QB is the key to the whole thing, and they ain't got one. Hopefully Steve can grow into it, he looke markedly better than Nick, though maybe not as mobile. The other thing to consider, is that they got 'away' from the run. We have the half backs, we just need to use them. We'll know a little more after the Miami game.
