Michigan Football has a (largely) finalized coaching staff for the upcoming 2024 season and today marks the closing of the transfer portal window that began when Jim Harbaugh exited to the NFL. Changes may continue to rosters after spring ball, but today marks the point at which Michigan joins the rest of college football in terms of staff and roster stability, the dust settling on the changes of the winter period.

Reasonably recent opponent who is also good and a contest where Indiana played pretty well, so we can get a sense of this defense on a good day, as opposed to all the terrible tape. The Personnel: Click for big. [Seth: JJ got his shield. Henderson has LT locked down. I also had to show Bredeson somehow.] Like usual, Indiana is playing with three true defensive linemen and then a stand-up BULL on the defensive line, two true ILBs + a "HUSKY", functionally a slot corner +
