Michigan went intimate a different and more bland version of vanilla in the second half. I'm guessing to keep the kids healthy for the gang bang next Saturday!!!

sure is deadly.  looked like evans mightve been concussed, hopefully its not too bad (which is obviously relative) and hes able to return soon.  healthy higdon and evans dial up the rushing O to a level not seen at m in few years, those guys make a huge difference.  smith and isaac are nice players but the 2 youngers backs make this O much more versatile and explosive, itd be great to see all 4 healthy and carrying the rock in november

Eh.... Showing a trick play early in the season is not a big deal IMO.  Other teams may scout it all they want, but they will never have enough practice time to prepare for all trick plays, plus Michigan gives so many different O looks that there is almost Zero Chance that a Defense will be remembing that play in a particular game in the right situation.

I think he respects Lovey Smith. I don't think he respects anything about Rutgers. My main worry next week is injuries from dirty play.

Not a football observation per se, but as someone who is looking to get new glasses, I must say that I did like Harbaugh's Woody-esque frames, although the mention of "Falling Down" got points with me too during the broadcast because I happen to like that movie.
