Michigan Wolverines 2009 College Football Predictions, Picks & Odds: Head football coach Rich Rodriguez can see big changes after a much crisper spring practice. The amount of competition for positions increased considerably, the learning curve was lessened greatly, and the execution on both sides of the ball, particularly offense, was much improved.

True freshman Tate Forcier, who enrolled early after a stellar career at Scripps Ranch High School in San Diego, ran the show in March and April and could very well be the opening day starter for the Wolverines. Senior Brandon Minor had a great spring and will try to improve on last year’s 533-yard, nine-TD season. Minor isn’t the speediest guy around, but he has good burst and can break tackles. Last year’s top pass-catcher, Martavious Odoms (49 receptions), teams with senior Greg Mathews (35) and sophomore Darryl Stonum (14) in a solid starting trio, with support coming from redshirt freshmen Roy Roundtree and Terrence Robinson, each of whom had strong springs.
