The former quarterback of Michigan, Tate Forcier has signed on to play for Miami according to a statement released by the school on Wednesday.

Both ESPN.com and The Palm Beach Post first announced that Forcier had indicated his intention to play for the Hurricanes.

Forcier spoke with ESPN.com and stated, “I really want to be a part of the rebirth at Miami.”

Not too long after it was made public that Les Miles had turned down the Michigan head coach position and would come back to LSU, where he has been for 6 years, Michigan named a new head coach.

On Tuesday, it was released that Brady Hoke, coach at San Diego State, would be hired as the head coach of the Michigan Wolverines, making him the 19th head coach in the 131 years the football program has been in existence.

Everything seemed to look good when the move was first announced. Rich Rodriguez had been a great coach in his time at West Virginia, and was considered to be one of the top spread offense coaches in the country. When he was asked to join Michigan, it seemed like a match made in heaven – albeit a very big change from the way that things were in Michigan previously. In his three years as their head coach, he was not able to duplicate his success and in the end turned out to be a failed experiment for the team.

In his time with the team he posted a total of a 15-22 record and overall was unable to make the spread as successful in Michigan as he had hoped. This can be attributed to the fact that Michigan had not recruited players that would thrive in the spread offense. Because he did not find immediate success, Rich Rodriguez had a lot of trouble recruiting the kind of players that would succeed in his offense, and in the end it turned out to be a bad fit for Michigan.

Mississippi State came out on top in their game against Michigan to finish the season at 9-4 and pretty much surely end the career of Rich Rodriguez at Michigan. the game was out of hand from the second quarter on. The first quarter ended with a score of 10-14, Michigan lead, but they were unable to score another point throughout the rest of the game, allowing Mississippi State to put up 21 in the second, 14 in the third, and 7 in the fourth.

Relf had a great game completing 18 of 23 passes for 281 yards on the game with three touchdowns and one interception. He spread the ball out very well, with no receiving catching more than four balls in the game and all of them having less than 80 yards on the game. Ballard helped Relf to secure the victory, rushing the ball 20 times for 76 yards and three touchdowns. His longest run was only eight yards but his downhill, hard, running style made him a popular option for the team when they were looking to control the clock.

Michigan will be facing the Mississippi State Bulldogs in the upcoming Gator Bowl. The match up was announced on Sunday evening. The Wolverines will be relying on their great quarterback, Denard Robinson, to help them get past a Mississippi State Bulldog team that has been at the center of the Cam Newton scandal throughout the season. Some representatives for the school had claimed that either Cam Newton or his father Cecil Newton had tried to receive payment from the school for his commitment there.

The game is played on New Years Day, and the Michigan executives said that they would wait til after the game to review their struggling coach Rich Rodriguez. A win in the game would certainly go a long ways toward securing his job, but a loss would not help him to keep it, and he would likely be replaced.

No D and all Denard?   No, not this time around. On Saturday Michigan won in a way that not too many thought was possible.  On a very rainy day in West Lafayette, IN at Ross-Ade Stadium, the Wolverines were able to overcome a miserable performance from Denard Robinson, their star quarterback, and relied instead on [...]

The cardinal rule of college football is do not commit turnovers.  However, don’t give up long third down conversions isn’t too far behind. Both principals were violated by Michigan today in their 38-28 defeat to No. 15 ranked Iowa.  They failed to complete their spirited comeback with Tate Forcier leading the charge. Iowa made a [...]

Mark Dantonio, in his four years of coaching Michigan State, has emphasized the rivalry his team has with Michigan.  The Spartans have certainly responded by beating the Wolverines in their last three matchups. Suddenly there is a new challenge for Dantonio’s team.  For the remainder of the season, Michigan State needs to attempt to make [...]
