Today’s college football preview from Bodog begins with the Michigan Wolverines (12/1 Big Ten odds). Rich Rodriguez’s defection to the Wolverines managed to screw over not only one but two teams; he left West Virginia in a lurch while winning just eight games for the Wolverines over the past two years. Now his job might be on the line.
The Michigan offense did make tremendous strides last year, finishing seventh in the country in yards per game. Quarterback isn’t settled heading into 2010, but whoever wins between Tate Forcier, Denard Robinson, and Devin Gardner should be very effective. They’ll have a pretty talented receiving corps to work with.
After struggling mightily on “D” last year, Michigan is switching to the 3-3-5. The Wolverines are desperate to find answers against the run after allowing over 170 yards per game last year. The secondary is green.
