HUGE Rumors Before USC Game, Alex Orji's Practice Performance, STANDOUT Freshman, and More!!

[@MichiganSportsTalk]

Check out my Michigan vs USC preview video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGHHgoOuqtyLfrssi=tdwc5KYPWbxCUyEL

[@richhopson6063]

I'm pulling for Orji also. If he plays well the team will benefit. I'd like to see more freshman get opportunities to play. Thanks for the rundown. Go Blue!

[@MichiganSportsTalk]

@@richhopson6063 I’m excited to see what he’s got tomorrow. Glad you enjoyed the video! Go Blue!!

[@jivepatrol6833]

Orji is an excellent athlete with a strong work ethic and great attitude! Players with these traits tend to rise to the occasion. I'll be at the game. Go Alex! Go Blue!

[@MichiganSportsTalk]

@@jivepatrol6833 I hope he can spark something into this offense and turn it around. I’m excited for him. Go Blue!!

[@jivepatrol6833]

@@MichiganSportsTalk Agreed and we're going to stick together and pull for the team 100%! Kind regards

[@MikeGoodeJr]

Just his passing skills trash

[@jivepatrol6833]

@@MikeGoodeJr - well if one watches his tape from HS he has a very strong arm and was accurate. Will it translate to the college level? I believe it will if Coach Moore is patient and lets Alex throw the ball and learn. People said JJ McCarthy couldn't throw deep either before the 2022 Ohio game. He went in and unleashed a barrage of deep passes both shocking and deflating Ohio and its fanbase. I think it could be the same in this case.

[@ObiWansDeathsticks]

What’s the point as of now in speculating and hoping? Like, this team is what it is. If they’re meant to win they will, if they aren’t meant to win they won’t. Orji could struggle bad or he could ball out. Just watch and see 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@paxchristi2014]

It's just football. It's a game that Michigan will win.

[@bradgrafstein4723]

What bothers me is so many Michigan fans have already lost all the happiness of winning the Natty. Last year was special and will hold me over for awhile. All Blue has to do is beat you know who and i will be so satisfied this year and Alex Orji gives us the best chance! Go Blue.

[@bmuhleman]

Orji should be fine, all he has to do is hot a few play action passes over the top and the defense will loosen up opening up the run. As for Loveland I am not mad if he sits out as long as Klein steps up. Klein is a Loveland clone so not worried

[@MichiganSportsTalk]

Agreed

[@freeheeler00]

This game is more important than Texas. It's a Big Ten game. At home. Just win. Beat USC. Go Blue!

So a so/so practice week? Thats just dandy. All hands on deck. The Team. The Team. THE TEAM. Everyone has to show up and show out!

[@MBlue-sk4tr]

I sure hope Orji surprises. We know his athleticism, I hope his passing game is at least relatively average for conference play. Have a wedding this Saturday so will be trying to sneak the game on my phone 😂 GO BLUE!

[@jerodjones6846]

I agree. I'm hoping Orji can direct this offense without any turnovers. Oline needs to step up and create holes for Edwards and Mullings. And I hope that Orji can at least make some throws that keeps the USC defense honest. Go Blue!

[@thomasgriffith2953]

The ofensive line better get their s**t together! It's not just all about the QB.

[@freeheeler00]

Kalel Mullings is averaging 7.5 yards per carry and Orji is averaging 5.8. I think it's heading in the right direction.

[@freeclimb5487]

It all starts with the offensive line.

[@ronmoyer6627]

Orji 👍🤞 M Go Blue 🏈

[@amrae323]

cant wait to see him go 4/25 24 yards and 3 picks !!!

[@scottlaux6934]

Marlin Klein looks easily like Colston Loveland when he is playing, big, fast, athletic- a mismatch.

[@charlesronk2989]

Tuttle can be a run threat as well. He may not be Orji in that regard but he can throw the ball. He is by far their best quarterback option to win now. That being said if you are building a program I would look to a younger talent.

[@mikegee248]

Hello Grant Newsome, light a fire man. Have our OL pumped and fight for their brothers! SMASH

[@michaelmelling9333]

Michigan fan here. Michigan has a field goal kicker, and that's it.😟

[@OathKeeper1506]

How do you get a D1 scholarship as a QB if you can't throw? smh If Orji is as bad as they say how did he get one? Warren isn't much better. At least Orji can run.

[@fballcoach447]

Do you not remember Joe Milton

[@rickmoller4188]

Most of the power 5 schools recruiting him wanted him to change positions. Harbaugh said he could work his way into playing QB. He came to Michigan for that reason.

Our first Big Ten title defense. The run game is gonna be filthy. Orji has the ultimate security blanket as far as our TE room. Pundits have been harping about the need for a vertical threat when we would do better to use our Tight Ends and Running Backs to continuously move the chains.

[@kinggoldenofficial]

Is he just missing on throws or is he throwing picks?

[@petekaimaku5609]

i think it’s both lol cuz Sherrone said one of the reasons DW won the battle was cuz of ball security. pretty ironic now tho lol

[@MichiganSportsTalk]

@@kinggoldenofficial His inconsistency has led to picks in practice sometimes, I think that’s why the coaching staff won’t let him throw it too much. But he’s got the capability of making some good throws. The coaching staff just has to put him in a position to succeed

[@millertimeast]

This is not what I wanted to hear but expected. Michigan is the worry in the country at getting an actual good quarterback. I hope Alex proves us somewhat wrong and atleast doesn’t turn over the ball. I scared to say that I expect atleast 1 interception.

All signs point to Michigan being in trouble. I’m passing on betting anything on this game. Too much chaos and Michigan coaches look like a hot mess. Spread coming down is interesting. USC by 10, take the under.

[@changyue1955]

Orji must miraculously learn how to pass better than an HS sophomore. Stinky Winky needs to run a basic college defense--this ain't the pros. UM will get buried 35-15 (all FGs).
