Inside the Play: Manufacturing offense for Jordan Morgan

Jordan Morgan has developed more in the last two years than many expected throughout his career. He’s transformed his body and developed into an effective player around the basket but he’s not an individual offensive threat. Michigan isn’t going to throw the ball to him on the block six or seven times per game and let him isolate with his back to the basket. His scoring is...

Five Key Plays: Michigan at Nebraska

1. Novak and Douglass spark 9-2 run to start the game Coming into this game, Michigan didn’t know much about Nebraska. The Wolverines hadn’t played in Lincoln since 1964 and really had no idea what to expect from the Cornhuskers beyond what they saw on film. The best way to settle those early questions was to get out to an early lead and quiet the 7,000 Nebraska fans in attendance...

The Novelty Of A Dull Road Blowout

2/8/2012 – Michigan 64, Nebraska 46 – 18-7, 8-4 Big Ten First half, second half I cannot pretend that last night's game inspired soaring emotions in me. It was (eventually) a routine blowout of a very bad basketball team and the most interesting bit was the three minutes at the beginning of the second half when Michigan pushed the lead out to an insurmountable margin. While...

Michigan Football: Fantasy Recap And Outlook

Overview- Everyone knew 2011 would be an adjustment for Denard Robinson and the Michigan offense. Not only would they be implementing an entirely new coaching staff, but would be totally switching gears from the wide open spread offense to a more conventional pro-style offense. The one constant that most figured would remain was that “Shoelace” would still be the focal...

Video: Obama needles Denard Robinson

Speaking at the University of Michigan on Friday, President Obama made sure to point out that Michigan’s fine quarterback (or wide receiver depending on the scout) was in the building early on when he stepped up to the podium.
