James Joseph Harbaugh is an American football coach and former quarterback who is the current and 20th head football coach of the Michigan Wolverines.Slackman has been in the portal for a little more than a week and has garnered other offers from Northwestern, Florida, Washington, TCU, Arizona, Wisconsin, Colorado and Missouri, to name a handful.
As a senior this past year for the Penn Quakers, Slackman compiled 50 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, four sacks, one pass breakup and one blocked kick. He was also a team captain this past season and an All-Ivy League player.
At 6-foot-4 and 300 pounds, Slackman would be a perfect fit for the interior defensive line and would be a great replacement option for when Kris Jenkins and Cam Goode depart for the NFL after the season.
As evidenced this season, the Wolverines like to keep their defensive line rotation fresh. Even though they will still have Mason Graham, Kenneth Grant and Rayshaun Benny in the middle of the line, depth is never a bad thing to have.
We will keep you posted on this recruitment and all happenings in the transfer portal this winter.
There’s a chance this game is more competitive. Though Iowa has been a gold mine for bettors betting the under this season, they are still 10-2 on the year. Michigan is 12-0 and has to win this game to ensure their spot in the College Football Playoff. Though Iowa’s shot at the College Football Playoff is out the window, a win would grant them a spot in the Rose Bowl, which would be a big deal to them and their fanbase. This is a big game for both sides. A big game like this must warrant some bold predictions.
J McCarthy hasn’t been a very busy man the last three weeks. In that span, McCarthy has attempted only 51 passes. Part of that is because he hasn’t needed to, but the Michigan rushing attack had so much success in Michigan’s wins over Penn State and Ohio State that Michigan just rode it all the way to a win. McCarthy only accounted for one touchdown in the entire month of November.
But that could change this week. Iowa lost their star cornerback Cooper DeJean a few weeks ago for the rest of the season. Also, while Iowa has been stout defensively, they haven’t faced many threatening aerial attacks at all this season. One successful passing attack they did play against was Penn State. Drew Allar, Penn State’s starting quarterback, aired it out all over the place over the Hawkeyes. Allar finished that game with only 166 yards on 25-37 passing, but he also threw for four touchdowns.
