WOWSERS!

I don't know why I used that picture but it sure is funny. Michigan played perfect today, Denard used his arm more than his legs for a change. Michigan played five different RB's, two QB's and demolished Minnesota defensively. Minnesota is lousy and Michigan did a great job of making them look as bad as what they are. It is apparent that Michigan has done a 180 degree defensively and Minnesota passed midfield only once on the day. When you witness Gardner handing off to freshman T. Rawls, things are going extremely well, compared to last year that same scenario would have been because of a blowout by the opposing team. I am excited about the team currently and next weeks matchup with NU on the road may be the most difficult to this point since it is in their house.

What I see from Michigan is inspired football. No recievers bitching about lack of receptions, instead there is downfield blocking by unselfish team players. The OL is solid and Schofied has impressed me as well, Molk was 30 yards downfield today blowing safeties up. Koger has emerged as a target and is an absolute mismatch, Hoke has noticed that and made him a weapon. How about Hopkins not crying about carries and just being coachable, doing what the team needs him to do. Defensively, I cannot say enough about the whole unit. Will Campbell has morphed into Alan Branch, the whole DL is solid. I can list every defensive players name and have something good to say about all of them, but I won't. It comes down to Greg Mattison is getting everything out of the players to make the D relevant once again.


BIG TEN POWER POLL
1. Wisconsin - dismantled Nebraska and showed they are a national power. Russell Wilson is calm as pond water, upgrades the whole team.
2. Michigan - This is no fluke. Given up one TD in the last three games and offensively dynamic.
3. Illinois - they have struggled but pulled out victories, only one of three undefeated teams left in the conference.
4. Nebraska - Ran into a brick wall named Wisconsin. They are still very talented and will still do well in the Big-Ten.
5. Iowa - Had the week off and the next games against PSU and NU will show if they are pretenders or not.
6. MSU - Their defense is good but Cousins seems as if has taken a step back lately. Off next week and then Michigan at home.
7. PSU - Still having QB questions and not real impressive on both sides.
8. NU - suffered their second loss today and maybe Persa again. They can be explosive at times but cannot stop the other team.
9. ohio - What can I say, they need those suspended players back and will get them next week. Unfortunately, they have to go to a pissed off Lincoln, Nebraska.
10. Purdue - Who FN cares.
11. Indiana - Awesome
12. Minnesota wouldn't win the MAC
