Published on: 1st October, 2009
Michigan at Michigan State Big Ten Network at 12:00 PM ET Rich Rodriguez made the statement that whoever runs the ball more successfully will probably win this game. He was right on two counts, the weather and the history. Out of the last 40 meetings, 37 have been decided by who outrushed their opponent. ...Big Ten Superlatives: Part One, Offense

Quarterbacks 1) Best Pure Passer—Scott Tolzien (Wisconsin): Wisconsin is 4-0, and he leads the Big Ten in pass efficiency. 2) Best Scrambler—Terrelle Pryor (Ohio State): If his 110 yard performance against Toledo didn't show that he still has the wheels to be a threat in every game, then I don't know what ...Why Tate Forcier Has Been The Most Impressive Freshman So Far
Published on: 27th September, 2009
There are a lot of impressive true freshmen football players out there. This is a trend that has been developing and will continue to increase, particularly at the quarterback position. There is better coaching, training, and there are more complex offensive and defensive schemes at the high school level. Add to that factor ...Are the Expectations in Ann Arbor Changing Too Quickly?

It's three weeks into the season, and already we are talking about Michigan being a Big Ten title competitor. Is it too soon to start talking about winning a conference championship for a team that went 3-9 the year before? Michigan so far has a resume that has some question marks, ...Michigan Wolverines Win Ugly Over Eastern Michigan Eagles
Published on: 19th September, 2009
I would like to say that I am completely satisfied right now. Michigan is sitting pretty at 3-0 and equaled their win total from a year ago with a 45-17 victory over Eastern Michigan. Unfortunately, there have been too many "teachable moments" to be completely satisfied, in fact there was a ...Michigan-Notre Dame: A Look Back and a Look Forward
Published on: 15th September, 2009
This past week has been quite interesting as it relates to Michigan football. At the end of August, most pundits were questioning whether or not Michigan would even get to 6-6 and a bowl game, and now, the Wolverines are getting some conference championship buzz. Although it's important to keep in mind that ...Can Michigan Defend Notre Dame’s Aerial Assault?
Published on: 11th September, 2009
A lot has been made out of Jimmy Clausen and the Notre Dame passing attack, especially after his last two outings. Probably the most relevant question, if not the most important question is whether or not Michigan can defend this aerial assault. To answer that question in one word, I'd have to ...Michigan’s Five Keys to Beating the Irish

1) Pressure Clausen: Clausen has had a spectacular outing in two straight games, in his latest going 15-18 for 315 yards and four touchdowns versus Nevada. It's important to keep in mind, however, that his performances were against Nevada who gave up 312 yards per game in the air last ...Michigan Wolverines: Five Keys to Victory over Western Michigan
Published on: 5th September, 2009
1) Establish the run: So many fans give credit to Braylon Edwards for carrying along Chad Henne as he developed as a freshman, but I think you have to give equal or greater credit to Mike Hart and the run game. When Hart emerged the offense really seemed to become ...10 Michigan Wolverines to Watch on Saturday (Part II)
Published on: 4th September, 2009
So far my top five guys are Tate Forcier, Brandon Graham, Carlos Brown, Donovan Warren and Junior Hemingway. Forcier will hopefully bring balanced quarterback play to the spread option attack and put up decent numbers while protecting the football. Look for Graham to put consistent pressure on Tim Hiller, and Carlos ...Featured Sponsors
