For sure. They'll probably be the preseason #1. Top 3 for sure.

With Bama losing at least 7 defensive starters I won't say it'll be impossible to run. They'll surely have a good D because hey, it's Bama and Saban is a great coach, but Michigan won't be a pushover running the ball with their Oline, Denard, and Touissaint.
As far as them not taking off until Denard leaves, I couldn't disagree more. Yes he struggled at times this year but he also came on strong at the end. He had fantastic games against Nebraska and OSU. We went 11-2 with him under a new staff and new scheme. He does have talent and with a year under his belt with the new system I expect good things. He is the only QB to pass for 1500 (2570) and run for 1500 (1702) in a season in history. He's also the only QB to have 2 200/200 games in history too. He was a couple of yards away from doing it 4 times (186/197, 190/191). Don't let this past season fool you, he'll be just fine.
