2. Can Josh Gattis bring a championship offense to Ann Arbor? 

One of the biggest questions heading into spring is what exactly Josh Gattis’ offense will look like. We all know how productive his offense was at Alabama. Can he bring that same sauce to Michigan? Will it be effective? Can Shea Patterson operate under it? Will the hiring of Gattis be enough to push the Wolverines into a playoff appearance?

We think this offense has big play ability with the likes of Donovan Peoples-Jones and Tarik Black on the outside. We know they are out for the spring, but this offense could mold into something special once they return and start contributing again to the offense. We think Gattis can take this particular offense to the next level this fall and Michigan is finally looking like a top five team once again.

Gattis was a huge hire for head coach Jim Harbaugh. The simple fact that as mentioned before that Harbaugh is handing him the keys to the hot rod speaks volumes on what they are trying to accomplish as a collective unit. Michigan is looking good and will play a huge role come playoff time if all things hold true with Gattis and his offense. Which brings us to our final what to look for.
