Putting the final score aside, which team looked the best out there — Indiana or Michigan?

They may have lost the football game, but Indiana did win the argument. In the 11 team league the Indiana football team is the 12th best. However, they did more than just scare a Michigan team that is obviously not as good as they might think they are. The Wolverines got lucky. To win the game they needed to have every imaginable lucky break, which included a bad call on the final drive for Indiana. A pick off by Donovan Warren was ruled an interception even though in the replays it looked as though receiver Damarlo Belcher was stripped of the ball by Warren after hitting the turf.

The defense for Michigan is still a question mark. So what do Greg Robinson and Rich Rodriguez have to do to get the defense improved before the Michigan State game?

Considering their talent, the Wolverine defense really should be a lot more physically imposing. The defense congratulated themselves for preventing the Hoosier offense from scoring a touchdown three times when Indiana had first downs and 10 inside Michigan’s 15 yard line. On all three occasions Indiana had to settle for a field goal. However Michigan State’s offense has more offensive weapons than the Hoosiers. If you provide a decent offense with that many opportunities in the red zone they are going to make a killing.

This year’s Michigan team already has more wins than the team from last year did all season. Is this statement a bigger one about this year’s 4-0 team or last year’s 3-9 club?

The difference is quite simple. This year’s team has a quarterback who can make plays. Last year’s team didn’t have one. If last year’s quarterback duo of Nick Sheridan and Steven Threet were playing, the team would be 2-2 right now. Having a confident quarterback does make all the difference in the world, even if he is a freshman.
