Michigan football has been practicing for 2 weeks now, and have been in pads for a week, and quite a few things are changing from my last 2018 Michigan football depth chart at end of July.
This is how I think things will look on September 1 in South Bend against Notre Dame, but things are fluid, and there are some big-time battles going on at LT, Rt, LB, and backup QB.
We are 17 days away from kickoff, and the #1 most-watched program on Michigan football, the Michigan Football Report, will be kicking it into overdrive with multiple shows )maybe even 3 or 4) a week until kickoff and vastly expanded video coverage during the season.
