WEEK 11

Can't wait til this guy gets to Michigan. This is 5 star QB recruit Shane Morris. He has already made his commitment to Michigan for the 2013 class. Look, we all know Denard is not a pocket passer, so use him like he is just that. Back to square one, plenty of running and short passes to keep the defense honest. As bad as I want to scrutinize my favorite team for all the negatives, they won, and it was needed. I don't know what happened offensively, between the first five minutes and the last five minutes, but it was like watching a crash about to happen. So many chances and no answers.


In the first five minutes of the game, I was watching a freight train. Denard in shotgun, two backs beside him, they were running the read option and it was marvelous. Fitz was picking his spots, the o-line was perfect, It was pulling the defense up, Denard was sitting his feet and threw a couple nice passes and then.........It went away. They tried to turn Denard into a pocket passer all of a sudden. The remainder of the first half was a disaster. I couldn't believe Michigan was winning by 17 points uncomfortably. Well...Floyds pick, Devins TD pass and they win going away. There was plenty of bright spots offensively though. Fitz was great, Devin did just enough without mistakes and stepped up in the pocket like a veteran on his TD pass to Odoms.


Let's talk defense. Are you kidding me? What a gem they played, the best game of the year from those guys. Woolfolk is not as good as T. Gordon, no way. Desmond Morgan, Jake Ryan, Frank Clark, Blake Countess are Freshman studs. What a group of young players. Van Bergen was running down QB's with three minutes left in the game that was all but over. Campbell came in late and pushed some guys around as well. Greg Mattison is a motivation machine, what a hire. Hoke should have recieved a promotion just for that alone. It's great to see the defense play that well this late in the season, especially with these last two games left. The biggest games of the year are headed towards Ann Arbor. I would much rather see the defense hitting on all cylinders than the offense. That's old Michigan football folks.



I know everybody was sad to see I didn't make my predictions last night. I couldn't get on my blog, computer problems. They would have been hard to pick this week anyways. No more power poll but this is what I witnessed.
