Plus, a look at this week's weather.
| From MLive Chief Meteorologist Mark Torregrossa: "You may have looked at a weather graphic on your phone and are thinking rain, rain, rain. And maybe snow. But it won’t be an entirely rainy week. I’ll help you sort things out because it’s time to get some stuff accomplished outside, and at the same time know which days might be better to get things done indoors. If you are like most Michiganders, once the weather improves you want to be outside. The weather story this week is our next storm system. It sits over Michigan Wednesday through Saturday."

| If you’re expecting Michigan to throw the ball more this fall, well, you might be in luck. We got our first glimpse of the revamped Wolverines offense on Saturday, and while a spring game only serves as a microcosm of what’s to come, there was a noticeable increase in quarterback usage. Between the two teams, Michigan quarterbacks attempted 58 passes and threw for a pair of touchdowns — compared to the 63 rush attempts. “We have so many players, so many guys with skill,” quarterback Cade McNamara said. “I think just the more that we have, I’m expecting us to be more dynamic.” READ MORE

| It wasn’t an easy battle for Tom Idema Jr. when COVID-19 knocked him down in October 2020. It took five weeks before he started to recover. Not only was he fighting off the virus, but he was doing so while diagnosed as an overweight Type 2 diabetic. Shortly after he arrived back on the job, he said human resources staff sent a request looking for Type 2 diabetics to participate in a program. Idema said he jumped on the opportunity. Since that time, Idema said he walks every day, aside from a brief period where he had foot surgery. He said he lost over 100 pounds and is in remission from diabetes. WATCH HERE
