Wolverines on the Ground – A Look at How the Michigan Offense will Carry the Rock in 2010
Posted on 19 Aug 2010 by Ben Corwin.
Even though Rich Rodriguez employs a spread formation most often associated with passing it around the park his goal is to run the ball. In 2009, Michigan ran the ball effectively when they tallied 186.2 yards per game at 4.5 yards per carry. A total that is commensurate with a quality run game and even better when you consider that UM ran the ball exactly 60% of the time. Rodriguez runs ...

3-3-5 Defense – What’s the Fuss, there’s still Eleven on the Field
Posted on 19 Aug 2010 by Ben Corwin.
As a Michigan observer it’s been hard not to notice all the fanfare regarding the team’s move during Spring Practice to a 3-3-5 scheme on defense for 2010. The coaches have downplayed the change in various ways to assuage the skeptical Wolverine fan base who doubt it’s usefulness in the Big 10. Last year, the defense played a base 3-4 scheme but often deviated from that set to match u...

Spartans Could be Dangerous on Offense in 2010
Posted on 18 Aug 2010 by David Lesmeister.
Coming off a disappointing 2009 season, the Michigan State football team is looking to rebound as a dark horse in the Big Ten. Expectations were high last year and the Spartans struggled to a 6-7 record. The good news was that 5 of their 7 losses were by a combined 23 points and that they went to a bowl game for the 2nd straight year. The bad news was that it was the same old thing that has ha...

Living in the Now; Ohio State-Oregon Rose Bowl
Posted on 31 Dec 2009 by Rebekah Edwards.
In the book “The Winners Manual” penned by Ohio State coach Jim Tressel, Tressel discusses in detail “being fully present in each and every moment”. The past is the make-up of who we are today and the future is something to strive for and look forward to. The right now is what we need to focus on in order to fully embrace life and succeed in the time we have. Learning from past experien...

How Rich Rod Stole Tradition
Posted on 20 Nov 2009 by Rebekah Edwards.
The Thanksgiving holiday is rich with tradition. Most all red blooded Americans have participated in and embraced the holiday tradition at some point in their lives. In elementary school we are taught about the meaning of the Thanksgiving holiday and as adults we drink to get through the holiday! Oddly enough, the biggest (and best) rivalry in sports occurs within days of Thanksgiving. Both are...

What it means to Prevayle; Iowa-OSU
Posted on 13 Nov 2009 by Rebekah Edwards.
A true champion will continue fighting even when the going gets tough. My mother, Gayle, is that kind of champion. Life has handed her lemons and you should see the batch of lemonade she made. The circumstance tried to break her down and she stood up and towered over the situation. Not only did she not look back, she led the march forward. She has yet to see an obstacle in her effort to accompl...

Got Protection? OSU vs. PSU
Posted on 7 Nov 2009 by Rebekah Edwards.
With so much on the line for both Ohio State and Penn State, Saturday’s game is receiving a lot of press. Most of the press is covering the match-up between Ohioan Daryll Clark and Pennsylvanian Terrell Pryor playing for schools in the opposing states. To the far from creative writers and sports analysts I suggest that maybe it is time for them to revisit what football is actually about o...

B(u)ying Time – New Mex. St. Heads to the Horseshoe
Posted on 30 Oct 2009 by Rebekah Edwards.
With a gap in conference play, Ohio State put their feelers out there to find a filler. The opponent shopping done was comparable to looking for a jersey of a specific player (who isn’t number 2) made for women. Meaning, you know there is one out there but it has to be exactly what you are looking for AND must be the right fit. The right fit came from the southwest. The Buckeyes opted to ...

Loving To Hate Football
Posted on 24 Oct 2009 by Rebekah Edwards.
The relationship between Ohio State fans and the brawny men donning scarlet and grey covered pads is much like any other relationship in an individual's life. It is said that there are five stages to a relationship; attraction/ butterfly stage, reality stage, disappointment, stability and the commitment stage. Buckeye fans enter the butterfly stage as premier recruits and seasoned vetera...
