Lynn HenningU-M can't be this weak
There were personal theories about Michigan coming into this autumn. They began with the fact U-M's personnel is at about the same level it has been for the past 40 years, which is to say good enough to win eight games.
Neither a spread offense nor Rich Rodriguez's arrival as head coach should have changed the big-picture issue there. The Wolverines have enough players and skill to win more games than they lose in 2008.
It simply would make the forecast more accurate if Michigan began winning some football games.
There are better teams to go against than ninth-ranked Wisconsin if a team's record is 1-2 and it has played thoroughly unimpressive football for three weeks. Then again, maybe not.
If this Michigan program is going to begin to take on Rodriguez's image and likeness, it probably needs to get its act together against a high-powered team. For that reason, and because I'm sticking with earlier assessments, the belief is that Michigan will win Saturday at Michigan Stadium, even if Steven Threet and Nick Sheridan remain the triggermen for an offense that needs a dramatically different director.
