2013 College Football Early Preview

------RETURNING STARTERS------
DEFENSE - 6
KEY LOSSES
OFFENSE: Denard Robinson-QB, Roy Roundtree-WR, Mike Kwiatkowski-TE, Ricky Barnum-OG, Elliott Mealer-C, Patrick Omameh-OG
DEFENSE: Craig Roh-DE, Will Campbell-DT, Kenny Demens-LB, J.T. Floyd-CB, Jordan Kovacs-SS
OT Taylor Lewan
Defensive Backfield

The nation's sixth rated pass defense has made great strides. J.T. Floyd and Jordan Kovacs need replaced but kudos has to handed out to this coaching staff for developing some quality depth.

Offensive Line

Should tackle Taylor Lewan decide to scoot of to the NFL the entire offensive line for the most part will need completely rebuilt. This does not bode well for a running game that is far less than dominant.

* DEPTH CHARTS were only designed as a simplistic gauge for listing players that departed and players that received the most playing experience (consistent starters). NationalChamps.net recognizes the importance of missing personnel data not listed such as redshirts, transfers, injuries, incoming recruits, back ups and alternates. Their coverage will begin with our full 2013 Preseason Preview due out this coming spring.

QUICK TAKES

1/8/2013

Head coach Brady Hoke seemingly has Michigan moving in the right direction. However, next season the Wolverines are losing a great deal of components from the depth chart. This is a better passing team with Devin Gardner behind center as evident when he stepped in for Denard Robinson the latter part of 2012. Gardner has shown some flashes of being good, but he will need to be much better than good to keep his team in the Top 25. The Hoke recruiting abilities will now start to be graded.
