Derrick Green

2. Who will lead this year's team in receiving TD's?
Jeremy Gallon

3. Game on our schedule that looks easy, but will give us the most trouble?
@Penn State

4. Player that nobody is talking about that will make the biggest impact?
Ondre Pipkins

5. Other than Lewan, a player who is most likely to make a All Big Ten first team?
Brendan Gibbons

6. Most improved player?
Ondre Pipkins

7. Most improved Big 10 team?
Penn State (does that count?)

8. Most likely to lose every conference game?
Illinois

9. Number of BCS Bowl teams for the Big 10? Who?
2, Michigan & Wisconsin. OSU and Michigan play in the title game but Michigan beats OSU. That loss causes the #2 in the leaders, Wisconsin, to jump OSU and gain an at-large bid.

10. Team MVP?
Lewan

11. Legends winner? Leaders winner? Big 10 Champion?

See #9

1. Who will lead this year's team in rushing?
Little crazy here, but Gardner. I see there being a mix of backs, and Gardner being the only consistent running threat there is through the season.

2. Who will lead this year's team in receiving TD's?
Funchess, I see the more pro style offense taking over here and really utilizing the TE in the end zone.

3. Game on our schedule that looks easy, but will give us the most trouble?
Indiana, I am huge on them this year, and with a healthy Tre Roberson, watch out. This offense was pretty good with Coffman at the helm as he passed for nearly 3,000.

4. Player that nobody is talking about that will make the biggest impact?
Either Darboh or Chesson

5. Other than Lewan, a player who is most likely to make a All Big Ten first team?
I would have to say Clark, just because he has been getting a lot of hype. Watch out for Countess though.

6. Most improved player?
Hometown boy Cam Gordon, come on man, get it all together this year.

7. Most improved Big 10 team?
Again Indiana

8. Most likely to lose every conference game?
Illinois

9. Number of BCS Bowl teams for the Big 10? Who?
1 not gonna jinx anything

10. Team MVP?
Gardner if the win total is 10 or above, Lewan if 9 or below

11. Legends winner? Leaders winner? Big 10 Champion?
Michigan, Wisconsin, and let's hope for the best.

1. Who will lead this year's team in rushing? - Fitz, but I think he'll split carries with Green more and more as the season goes on.


2. Who will lead this year's team in receiving TD's? - Funchess and I don't think it will be close.


3. Game on our schedule that looks easy, but will give us the most trouble? - Iowa. I would say Penn State, but I think that should be obvious enough.


4. Player that nobody is talking about that will make the biggest impact? - Joe Bolden - Not sure why, but it seems like he's kind of the forgotten man on the defense. As for a second, I'll say Jake Butt. I could see him playing in goalline situations and moving Funchess outside. All the attention on him, Butt gets a lot of balls. Yes. I went there.


5. Other than Lewan, a player who is most likely to make a All Big Ten first team? - Jeremy Gallon. He should get a bulk of the targets at WR and with his hands, I can see him getting a big year.


6. Most improved player? - Again, Joe Bolden


7. Most improved Big 10 team? - Indiana for the same reasons as above. If the defense is even a little bit better, they'll win 7 regular season games.


8. Most likely to lose every conference game? - Illinois, again. have to agree.


9. Number of BCS Bowl teams for the Big 10? Who? - Two. Us and Ohio. Winner goes to rose, loser gets an acc team in sugar.


10. Team MVP? - Gallon


11. Legends winner? Leaders winner? Big 10 Champion? - Us, Ohio. Us. I hope.

 

[thewolverines24]

1. Who will lead this year's team in rushing?
Green

2. Who will lead this year's team in receiving TD's?
Funchess. He was underutilized last year and still led the team in receiving TDs.

3. Game on our schedule that looks easy, but will give us the most trouble?
Penn State. Really no other option for this one.

4. Player that nobody is talking about that will make the biggest impact?
Chris Wormley. The staff had high expectations for him before the injury last year. Hopefully he shows out this year.

5. Other than Lewan, a player who is most likely to make a All Big Ten first team?
Gardner.

6. Most improved player?
James Ross III. I have a feeling he is going to blow up this year.

7. Most improved Big 10 team?
IU. They fought OSU and MSU tooth and nail last year. If they can improve on defense, they could be looking at a bowl season. Tre Roberson should be fun to watch.

8. Most likely to lose every conference game?
Illinois. They lost all of their Big 10 games last year by an average of 23 points. The only game they kept within single digits was against Purdue. Purdue is their only hope for a conference win.

9. Number of BCS Bowl teams for the Big 10? Who?
Michigan and Nebraska. We beat Ohio twice. Nebraska's only loss is to us.

10. Team MVP?
Gardner

11. Legends winner? Leaders winner? Big 10 Champion?
Legends - Michigan. Leaders - Ohio State. Champ - Michigan. Optimist Prime.

I agree generally, except I think Gallon leads the team in TDs.

I think if Funchess leads the team in TDs, he's going to be All-Big Ten First Team for sure.

And I don't think we'll have both a TE & WR making the first team, unless we are a very pass-heavy team in 2013.

as far as these post-season awards go, there is a press complement that's too strong to ignore. I know Braxton Miller is getting most of the coverage as of now, but I wonder if Gardner will overtake him as 1st team QB over the course of the season - all things statistically being comparable. Gardner is a cool guy, and seems to be getting more coverage. he also has a likable personality, and the press eats it up.

[RABID]

1. Who will lead this year's team in rushing?
Green overtakes Fitz halfway through the season and never looks back. Gardner is 3rd behind Green and Fitz.


2. Who will lead this year's team in receiving TD's?
Funchess. He will be a redzone monster with Gardner this year. (again)

3. Game on our schedule that looks easy, but will give us the most trouble? @ NW. They still look easy right? We win another shootout 45-41 as the defense heals up from a brutal Nebraska game the week before.


4. Player that nobody is talking about that will make the biggest impact?
Taco Charleton. I think he sees a ton of PT this year as a Frosh behind Clark. Our Defense this year will get very good... next year it is going to be sick. If Hand commits, we will lead the nation in sacks from 2014 until they start leaving for the pros.

5. Other than Lewan, a player who is most likely to make a All Big Ten first team? Funchess AND Gardner. What can I say? I'm a ****ing homer!


6. Most improved player? Frank Clark. He may lead the B1G in sacks this year, due mostly to being pushed HARD by Taco just to keep his starting job. Like I said, I'm a homer, and our D is approaching epic talent levels.


7. Most improved Big 10 team? Can I pick Maryland yet? My #2 is Indiana with Roberson back. They should go bowling this fall.


8. Most likely to lose every conference game? Purdue. And they play Illinois. Did you see them play OK State? Do they have anyone that can play defense? Their B1G schedule is a bitch this year. If they have ANY injuries by the end of the season they will lose AT HOME to IL - and they are going to be beat to Hell following consecutive defensive poundings from NEB, MSU, Ohio, Iowa, and Penn State. Ouch. They close the season with Indiana who is going to smoke them. If they don't beat Northern Illinois, the only game Purdue wins all season is Larry bird's alma matter: Indiana State. Yeah, I said it.


9. Number of BCS Bowl teams for the Big 10? Who? Michigan, Wisconsin.
(Ohio loses to WI, NW, and ]|V|[. Bitches!)


10. Team MVP? Devon Gardner.


11. Legends winner? Leaders winner? Big 10 Champion? M/WI M.
**** ohio.
