Though they actually have wins against two currently ranked opponents, rather than just beating cupcakes and teams that got ranked for one week as poll fillers.

We have to make good use of our out of conference slots (and we only have 2 because Florida-Florida St is every year). I think Oregon should be held to the same standard. USC is playing Notre Dame. That's going to be an awesome clash even if both teams lose a few games before then. (Things used to be trickier for us. Until 2004 when Miami joined the ACC we had to schedule both Florida and Miami every year over bragging rights ) (And to see who kicked a wide field goal...) (2004 Orange Bowl one of the worst experiences of my life. . . having to walk through Miami, beaten and ashamed) | ||

Pretty sure there was a forward pass somewhere in there, lol. Edit: Denard Robinson to Drew Dileo is destroying MSU's defense ;__; | ||

Looks like Florida-Georgia next week will decide who plays 'Bama in the SEC title game. | ||

Knew it would end like this... You can't give Denard Robinson the ball with 2 minutes left. God dammit. | ||

If you watched ESPN and the BTN you would think he was a man amongst boys, yet anyone who watches michigan play week in week out knows hes mediocre at best and the offense will look nothing like it does now when hes gone. Hes a fraud against good teams and just pads stats against others. Sure he can do things that other players can't and occasionally can win games, but with a better QB they probably wouldn't be in those positions to begin with if they had someone more capable. | ||

Excuse me. Really a great defensive performance from both teams. MSU is always so well prepared for this game. Ugly win, but we (UofM) desperately needed that one. GG! | ||

You are butthurt. Denard is a fantastic player playing in a system he was never meant to run. I'll grant you that he isn't a very good quarterback in a pro style offense, that much is true. In a spread option offense he is ridiculously good. Two years ago when he was a sophomore under rodriguez he put up gaudy numbers, which have dropped since Hoke took over. Granted that was a good move for the team, because he cleaned up our terrible defense, but that is the reason Denard isn't used to his full potential. | ||

He put up gaudy numbers against the bottom of the big 10 and western michigan because he was their entire offense. He also scored occasionally in garbage time when his team was already down by 3 touchdowns.....good job. Hes not a good qb at all. He throws behind his receivers and will play 500 out there like its no big deal to turn the ball over. Hes not good. Michigan is on its way to be a good program, but he is holding back the development of the offense (watch, next year the offense will look nothing like this). How did he do against Mississippi state in that last bowl game with Rich Rod? When RR was basically coaching for his job? Against any good team he has played he has blown ass and been bailed out occasionally by lucky lobs. He single handedly lost michigan the ND game this year, with a servicable QB michigan beats ND, the team is actually pretty good this year. | ||

He single handedly lost michigan the ND game this year, with a servicable QB michigan beats ND, the team is actually pretty good this year. He has been a full time starter for two seasons. First season he was 7-5 with an absolutely horrendous defense and a team that had largely quit on its coach. Next season he leads an 11-2 team and single handedly wins the OSU game for us (look at his stats from that game). He single handedly won the Notre Dame game last year for us. He is on pace to have more rushing yards than any QB in NCAA history and his passing stats are pretty decent outside interceptions. What you lose in a slightly worse passer you more than gain back in the most dangerous runner in college football. Also, if he is so bad why is he starting? We have other quarterbacks, and yet the coaches have decided to keep him on the field and he has given them a fantastic record. | ||

We have other quarterbacks, and yet the coaches have decided to keep him on the field and he has given them a fantastic record. hes starting because michigan's other QB's are obviously bad and Denard is the best choice at this time. that doesnt mean he doesnt suck lol. I am not arguing with you over Denard if you are going to try to bring up stats in meaningless games. Yea he did well against OSU last year (who was 6-7 btw) and I am incredibly happy/thankful for it because i hate the entire state of ohio more than anyone I have come into contact with. That being said, i can recognize him for what he is, sub sub par as a passer, a good runner once he gets going (hes actually pretty slow at accelerating in the backfield) but hes small so you have to worry about running him too much and having him leave the game injured. So he has more rushing yards than any QB in NCAA history.......who cares? Do you think hes a better QB than Tommy Frazier? or Pat White? I want wins and for him to play well. I really dont care if he rushes for a 70 yard touchdown when the team is down 45-10. Hes been horrible against all of the top competition hes played. And to say he single handedly beat ND is a joke, he threw the ball up for grabs a bunch of times and was lucky Junior Hemmingway was as good as he was (against ND and VT) or they would have been crushed both games. The Denard agenda is bordering on Tebowism. Ask any michigan fan what they feel about him, id bet 80% will be happy he was in Ann Arbor, but ready to see him leave next year. Michigan is going to take a big step forward in about 2-3 years but they kind of delayed their development by keeping him on as a QB. | ||

Woods is a freak. Too bad hes not very tall for a WR in the NFL. What do you think his ceiling is since lately, quite a few highly touted USC receivers have blown ass. I am looking at you fat version of Mike Williams and Dwayne "Steve Smith wants to whoop my ass" Jarrett. | ||

We have other quarterbacks, and yet the coaches have decided to keep him on the field and he has given them a fantastic record. As a Notre Dame fan, I can vouch for this. Is he the best throwing QB in college football? Hell no. The reason he plays QB is because he is the best and most explosive player on the field. It's kind of like how a lot of college recruits who were QBs in high school end up playing different positions in college. They only played QB because they were the best player on the team. Denard is the best player on that team and he always keeps them in games they shouldn't win. I have mad respect for him and I hope he is given a shot in the NFL as a RB or WR. | ||
