Q: Is it really Tate Forcier or bust for Michigan? The focus is on the offense, but what else is missing that requires major attention? Besides quarterback, what's the most important position battle to watch for this spring?
A: By Tom Beaver of GoBlueWolverine.com - No, it's not that cut and dried when it comes to Forcier. Last year?s part-time starter will go into spring ball with a knows-the-offense advantage, but already-enrolled Freshman Tate has by far the better arm. And don't forget Denard Robinson who'll come in in June and is probably the best runner of the three. For Michigan, quarterback will quite possibly be a three-way situation for quite a while - maybe all the way through 2009.
Overall, besides the offense, the focus will be on defensive coordinator. In 2008 it was the veteran Michigan D that let the team down in their biggest games. Now the Wolverines have a new coordinator in former Syracuse headman Greg Robinson, who has defensive coordinator experience both at Texas and in the pros. The 2009 U-M defense will be far younger than the '08 unit, but has to be far better for the team to improve overall.
