Let's compare the situation from Stewart's perspective:
Playtime advantage: Stanford
- Michigan has 3 WRs and 2 ATH one whose strength is WR in this recruiting class.
- We have 0 WR for this class (Simi Fehoko is effectively class of 2018).
Offense scheme advantage: Push
- Both run the same west coast offense.
Personal ties advantage: Michigan
- One of Stewart's former high school coaches is part of the UM staff
- A few high school teammates are on the UM roster
Academic advantage: Stanford
- Come on...he actually had to fill out an application to be accepted to Stanford.
Distance advantage: Michigan
- 600 mi to Ann Arbor, MI
- 2,920 mi to Pal Alto, CA. He has been to Stanford campus twice before his OV this weekend so distance probably not too much of an issue
Coaching advantage: Push
- Harbs and Shaw have different styles, but similar levels of accomplishment.
Gameday experience: Michigan kinda...
- The shape of the Big House does not make it a loud stadium even with 100K+ people in the stands, but the number of people at a typical game doubles our capacity of 50K+.
Any other considerings? Thanks, BigEasy, for the weather comparison!
