Purdue has the worst rush defense and the worst pass defense in the Big Ten.  We didn’t score an offensive touchdown against them, and we didn’t really come close to doing so either. We have the worst offensive line in the Big Ten.

Last Saturday’s game against Wisconsin proved that you can never give up on this Michigan football team. All the hype about the strength and conditioning program is proving to be much more than just hype. In the second half, Michigan’s defensive front appeared to dominate the line of scrimmage over the much bigger Wisconsin offensive [...]

And so it begins.  Terrelle Pryor passed for four TDs and had another one dropped by Brian Robiskie who had gotten past the last man on defense by a few yards, but mysteriously short-armed the grab.  Todd Boeckman had a total of three snaps. There were the normal freshman mistakes.  We had an illegal movement [...]

You are likely reading that title and scratching your head.  But here is what I mean.  ESPN Radio host Colin Cowherd made a good point regarding recruiting.  He said that in his social life, George Clooney can ask a girl to go out with him, and she will.  But Colin Cowherd can’t ask.  Cowherd must convince [...]

I DVRed the OSU v. USC game and watched the first half again, this time watching most plays in slow motion, paying particular attention to the play of OSU’s offensive line.  My first take on the game before doing so was that USC simply had better athletes and that the OSU players’ talk about being [...]

Now for some real analysis of the game out in L.A. I recall watching an NFL highlights film of the very first Superbowl, I think that it was Green Bay v. Kansas City and that guy with the great voice was giving out the high points of the game.  I will paraphrase:  Kansas City had [...]

Much depended upon whether Chris Wells woke up sore this morning.  Unfortunately for college football fans, Wells’ foot was sore, worse than the OSU coaching staff would have hoped.  Coach Tressel has accordingly listed him as doubtful. 

This one is too hard to predict.  There are too many variables.  First, we don’t know just yet if USC is for real.  They beat what is likely to turn out to be a very bad Virginia team very badly.  But that doesn’t mean that they are a bad team.  In watching the first half [...]

Jim Tressel, who is right 99 percent of the time once said that a team makes its most dramatic improvement between its first and second games.  Oh my goodness.  Folks, this may not be the season. Let’s tell it like it is.  Forget Beanie Wells and his injury.  The offensive line simply stunk up the [...]

Of course, it would have been nice to have beaten Utah in the season opener; however, a win may have not been what was needed. A win may have created a false sense of where this team really stands. Let’s face it – Michigan did not deserve to win that game, and they’ve got a [...]
