Mega-sweet. Dennis is my pick as the all-time BEST QB to run Rich's offense if the damn time/space continuum wasn't in the way.....

Mine as well.
We need to build a Holodeck in Schembechler Hall.

But my vote would be for Smith or Leach.

We'll never know how well Franklin could have passed because Bo almost never allowed him to. And when he did, it was usually on third and very long. Michael Taylor would have been great in this offense, but his hands were too small to get great velocity on the ball. With the mismatches and openings the spread creates, though, he may not have had to throw it really fast.
I would have loved to see a fully- focused version of Demetrius Brown in this offense.

...between DRob and Terrelle Pryor is the first time that the series has featured two African-American starting quarterbacks since Franklin and Jones squared off in 1973 and 1974 .

Posted it elsewhere, but it's more appropriate here. Glad it's going to be noted on the BTN.

Love to see that he is being featured this week.
My indoctrination to Michigan football rings loudly:
Dennis Franklin, Gordie Bell, Rob Lytle!
In light of this week's events, I find it appropriate that Dennis is featured.
Go Blue!
