The Daily football beat predicts the 2024 football season

Since the Michigan football team won the National Championship last season, it underwent a massive personnel turnover. Jim Harbaugh, JJ McCarthy, Blake Corum, the entire starting offensive line and many others are off to the NFL.

The Wolverines aren’t exactly starting from scratch with Sherrone Moore — he has plenty of experience within the system — but with such drastic changes, expectations for this season are all over the place. The consensus is that Michigan will take a step back, but the question is how far.

With the hardest schedule the Wolverines have faced in years on the docket, they might fail big or scrape out some quality wins. Matchups with heavyweights Texas and Oregon loom large, and of course, The Game is still the highly-anticipated season finale.

The scandals swirling around last season aren’t quite put to bed yet either. In his first season under the helm, Moore will have plenty to deal with.
