Michigan mailbag: Too many captains? Joe Milton's rising stock

It feels weird that it’s nearly Halloween and Michigan vs. Michigan State is the second game of the season. But here we are, Week 2 of the Big Ten season, and the in-state rivals are making final preparations for Saturday’s matchup.

Michigan is coming off a 49-24 win at Minnesota last Saturday night in the opener, and quarterback Joe Milton looked poised making his first career start. The run game looked solid behind an offensive line that played well with four new starters. The defense buckled up and got down to business in goal-line situations, and with the exception of allowing a good back to get some rushing yards, also looked poised.
