On Saturday, just about everything went perfectly for Michigan as they absolutely dominated Penn State 42-7 at the Big House.
But despite the big win, the Wolverines did suffer a loss as backup quarterback Dylan McCaffrey broke his collarbone late in the fourth quarter of Saturday’s game.

With McCaffrey likely to miss the remainder of the regular season and potentially more, the thought was that Brandon Peters, who had been No. 3 on the depth chart, would automatically move to No. 2 behind starter Shea Patterson.
Well, according to Wolverines’ head coach Jim Harbaugh, that is not necessarily the case.
On Monday, during his weekly press conference, Harbaugh stated that Peters and freshman Joe Milton “will compete” for the backup QB job.

Nation, who do you think will win the backup job at Michigan, Joe Milton or Brandon Peters?

With or without Golden Tate, the 2018 Detroit Lions WERE NEVER winning the NFC North
As you know by now, Golden Tate is no longer a member of the Detroit Lions.
Earlier in the week, news broke that the Lions had traded their most consistent receiver over the past 4+ seasons to the Philadelphia Eagles for a third-round draft pick.
The move is one that has come under much scrutiny, especially from some local media members who cover the Lions for a living. Some have said the trade is a sign of the Lions front office waving the proverbial “white flag” on the season, while others have said the move would send a bad message to the rest of the players in the locker room and potentially cause them to “give up” on the season. I am not making his stuff up.
Anyone who believes either of those things is 100% clueless about NFL football and how it works. First of all, trading Tate had absolutely nothing to do with waving a white flag on the 2018 regular season. Though Tate has been the definition of consistency for the Lions since coming to the Motor City, he is not a player and will never be a player who puts the team over-the-top in terms of contending for a Super Bowl. The Lions offense has plenty of weapons and Tate, because of his age and contract situation moving forward, became expendable.
