Grading The Performance: Little Brother

Tweet

Quarterback

The QB play wasn’t always pretty on Saturday, but Denard Robinson made enough plays in the end with both his arm and his legs to put Michigan in position to win the game. Robinson completed just 48% of his passes on the day but converted some critical 3rd down passes to extend drives. Denard . . . → Read More: Grading The Performance: Little Brother

Michigan State Game Prediction

"60 minutes of unnecessary roughness". It’s a statement made after last year’s game, by MSU DC Pat Narduzzi. It was also such a telling statement.

Managing Expectations

Brady Hoke’s first season at Michigan was a smashing success. Few could have predicted an eleven win season considering the challenge of implementing a new offense and defense, overcoming talent and depth deficiencies, and trying to fit personnel to scheme.

If recruiting truly is the life blood of any program as many college coaches like to say, then Sparty will have a date with the ICU very soon.

Masters of the Blitzkrieg, Losers of the War

Around midnight last night, full-on delirium took hold of me as I tried to process the day’s events. In succession, Michigan lost to Ohio in basketball, Michigan’s last hope for landing a #1 CB chose the rival Buckeyes, and a key interior line prospect committed to Iowa over the Wolverines.
