First things first. They need to go into Champagne and beat Illinois. Michigan has only played three good teams. ND, Iowa and MSU. They lost two of those three. This is the same thing that has happened the last few years, they dominate the bad teams and struggle with the good ones. There is something about the staff that I like, as far as sticking to their guns offensively. They are not gonna budge on making Denard a passer. If he completes half his passes, then they win these games. They understand they have good recievers who are typically open, now let's get them the ball in stride. Borges understands that this is the offense they will run next year and the years to come. Gardner needs to learn this offense as well as Denard and 5 star recruit Shane Morris will be learning this offense as well. It isn't going anywhere.
The defense has played well and now the offense needs to respond. They are as good on paper as any team in the conference. There are a few teams that are 2-2 in conference play. Michigan is one of them and can be 8-2 if they win saturday with Nebraska and ohio left on the schedule. They obviously don't control their own destiny but winning out would give them a hell of a chance. There are plenty of big games left for things to work out for them. Get healthy this week. Toussaint will be back also. After the Iowa loss I was thinking the worst, but Nebraska losing and MSU going to Iowa this week, there is time for things to happen. Denard can't play that bad again, can he? This week in Illinois we will see. If they don't win, that would be 1-3 in the last 4 games and the past will be the present once again.
