Call me biased, but I said Michigan.
We've had a more than slow start and it's shown in the past two games. Hart has always been our strong point - so when he got hurt in today's game versus Notre Dame, more of the weight was on Henne and Avant, who happened to be having one of the most off games I've ever seen either of them play.
Michigan had more passing yards, I think we should have utilized our running backs a bit more. Grady and Martin do amazing things when put to task. I'd be surprised if I didn't see the number of running yards increase by next game.
On the topic of offense, our blockers were equally great.
As for defense, they definitely improved since last week, plenty of good coverage. Now all they need to learn is how to take advantage of opportunities to intercept. There were many times where I was sitting in the Big House, watching a long pass and being like, "OH! Dude, I think he's gonna intercept it... ... ... Okay, maybe not..." to the person next to me. But that's something that can be fixed, as well.
I say the next game will truly be a determining factor in how the rest of the season is played out. Michigan football is known for figuring things out quickly, I have complete faith in the Wolverines. Lloyd Carr knows what he's doing (even though, I have to admit, I had my moments when I was yelling at him to put Gutierrez in
).
