Excerpted from MGoBlog:
The full accounting of Michigan opt outs who saw significant playing time during the season:
- RBs Kalel Mullings and Donovan Edwards
- WR Tyler Morris
- TE Colston Loveland
- OL Dom Giudice, Andrew Gentry, and Myles Hinton
- Edge Josiah Stewart
- DT Mason Graham and Kenneth Grant
- CB Will Johnson
- S Makari Paige
By contrast, Alabama’s lost a handful of rotation players in the portal—two of them to Michigan—but is largely intact. There is no way this game is a reflection of anything except the increasing absurdity of bowl games.
