Rickenbach NCAA-F *10* Top Play Michigan Wolverines +5 @ Utah @ 8:30 ET Thursday - One of the biggest stories heading into this season is, of course, the return of Jim Harbaugh to the Wolverines. You can bet this is going to return a lot of physicality to Michigan and that insures that they match-up perfectly with a Utes offense that loves to pound the ball on the ground. The Wolverines defense is still among the tops in the nation and the key here will be that the offense of Michigan should show immediate improvement under Harbaugh. That's thanks in part to the solid work he has put in with passing game coordinator Jedd Fisch and that will pay off immediately here as the Wolverines play with revenge in this one. They lost in Michigan to the Utes by a score of 26-10 last season. It's payback time tonight and I look for the Wolverines to take advantage of a Utes team breaking in two new coordinators. That's never easy to handle in the same season and Utah is trying to adjust to a new OC and a new DC as they head into this season. The Utes are without long-time coordinators Kalani Sitake (DC) and Dave Christensen (OC). I expect this to impact the Utes early in the season and there is big value with getting the handful of points with the revenging Wolverines who will be giving 110% effort for Harbaugh in his first game. There is no doubt about that. Love the cohesiveness and emotional energy that the Wolverines will bring to this game as Harbaugh has already rejuvenated this entire program and has these players believing in themselves and their teammates. This team is ready to produce right away in Week one! Play Michigan +5 as a *10* Top Play Thursday.
