Key Points:
- Running back Jordan Marshall is expected to play and start, with Bryson Kuzdzal as his backup; Marshall is close to reaching 1,000 rushing yards this season despite a recent shoulder injury.
- Jadyn Davis, who had planned to enter the transfer portal, appears to be the backup quarterback for the team.
- The top four safeties are Brandyn Hillman, Jaden Mangham, TJ Metcalf, and Jordan Young, with Metcalf starting as the nickel back in specific defensive packages.
- Michigan's starting offensive line includes Blake Frazier, Nathan Efobi, Greg Cripppen, Jake Guarnera, and Brady Norton, with key absences due to opt-outs and injuries.
