Higdon started 11 games(skipped bowl game)
Juwann Bushell started 11 games(skipped bowl game)
Zach Gentry started 13 games

But they return 10 starters on offense. Lmao.

Also. I'm amazed that a non starter from their defense got drafted(all in the top 3 rounds). Harbaugh is a dumbass for not starting them. Wonder if it was Gary, Bush, Winovich or Long who didn't start? Be curious to know.
How is Notre Dame going to recover losing their starting QB to UCF after an undefeated season? Luckily they return their starting QB to level the ship. Michigan lost their starting QB to the transfer portal, I don’t know how they will recover.

He probably thinks ND returns the starting RB too. Lmao.

I don’t know man. They lost five games two years ago
and their loses last year weren’t particularly close. They closed out by giving up 60 something to their rival and then lost by almost 30 to an offensively challenged Florida in the bowl game. I’ll believe it when I finally see it.
They didn't want to be there.

Oh wait...Michigan isn't in the SEC. My bad.

I know, right? I love that one. It’s so convenient after getting your ass kicked.

It was only a NY’s 6 game. No big deal. They had better things to do.

Michigan players were too worried about their draft grades.
Let me be sure I have this correct. They didn't want to be there because of they were worried about their draft status?

Still sounds SECish to me. Is Michigan going to the SEC.

You know what's funny? Two of the guys sitting out didn't get drafted anyways. Lmao.

They were worried about getting hurt and dropping like Jake Butt did.

I stated it that way to make it sound very SECish.

Perhaps they were afraid that if they had played, they WOULD get drafted . .
They didn’t know Nixon abolished the draft in 1971 and thought that’s what people were talking about.

<1A draft status...

Selective Service assigned draft priority numbers for all men born in 1954, 1955, and 1956, in case the draft was extended, but it never was

My "lottery" number was 342. With 365 being the best number, I was happy with mine. If I remember, I believe the draft for my year was about twp months away.

What Michigan says when someone asks them if they played in any playoff games?

If you're going to obsess over Michigan football, you could at least be accurate.

2019 Football Transfer Portal
Are you fucking stupid? Do you even see what was being discussed? Can you follow a conversation? Just because someone starts a single game because of injury or the actual starter was worrying about draft position doesn’t make someone a starter. I was making a point with stating that Brandon Peters started a few games didn’t mean he was “a starter”. I thought that by stating that Notre Dame lost their starting QB they were in trouble but thankfully they are returning their starting QB it would have been obvious. But unfortunately your reading comprehension is that of a first grader.

So, do you think that every team has the same motivation in a game? Even a NY 6 Game can be more important to one side than the other. Two teams can land in the same spot from different places and the game can be more important for one side or the other. Emotion is just as important as skill, talent and coaching in winning football games. That is the same in the SEC, B1G or MWC.
