Kickoff for the 2022 season is finally here as Michigan welcomes Colorado State to town for the season-opener. The Rams enter the season with a new head coach in Jay Norvell and new offensive and defensive schemes.
U-M linebackers coach Greg Helow has a history with the Rams program and still has plenty of respect for Rams.
"I was there for four years and a special place, under really good leadership. Joe Parker’s a good friend of mine. He’s a true Michigan man, swam here, worked in an administrative role here. And I’ve got a lot of respect for the program. Jay Norvell is a good head coach. We played him there when I was at Colorado State, he was the head coach at Nevada. He did a really nice job there. Matt Mumme, their offensive coordinator, does a really good job and recruited a lot of those players that are still on the team, so very familiar with them. When you play a team like that they get very hyped up to come in and play Michigan. I know that when I was there we played Alabama and you’re gonna get their best. So we’re preparing, but it was a really special experience. Really nice state to live in, too, Colorado. Similar to Ann Arbor."
