I think Higdon might be our inside runner. He's just shifty enough to get an extra 3-4 yards when nothing is there, and he generally runs pretty square to the line.

Their obsession with us is unmatched. So to answer your question, no.

It means that Michigan beat a team that had two pick sixes and blocked a punt against them.

I think Saturday's performance really put that excuse to bed for most people. Some like Phil Steele will still cling to it (he picked Florida), but for many of the pundits that watched it, they will say it didn't matter who was playing for Florida, they were going to get lit up no matter what.
Phil Steele was on ESPN radio yesterday morning and reiterated the 10 suspensions as "their best RB, their best WR, and a bunch of OL and DL" = really phil? He lost his credibility with me as soon as he said that.

You can't pick a team to win a game knowing they have 10 players suspended then come back and say the reason the other team won is because their were 10 players suspended. #steelelogic

Florida didn't lose because their RB or WR didn't make plays. They actually did, when they had a chance to do so. But their OL got thoroughly dominated, and none of the key players suspended were on the OL.

Not only did the Wolverines beat Florida, but they beat them. Michigan dominated the Gators. This was not an equal matchup. It was a contest between a disciplined pack of cold and distant hitmen and some dudes who thought it would be fun to steal from Don Brown’s late-night poker game on the east side.
That's something a few people are still overlooking - without the pick-six plays alone, this could very easily have been a 40something-3 game. Statistically, Michigan basically beat the crap out of Florida and didn't stop until the end of regulation. That's the team I was expecting overall and that's the team we got.

It's a good thing/bad thing kind of thing. The good thing is that people are recognizing how this was a statistical and physical beatdown. Even Booger McFarland gave some high praise.
Michigan- front 7 is nasty, on Bama's level, Speight clearly beat qb, Evans needs to run the ball more. Legit challenger in B1G
The bad thing is that those same people, plus others, are zeroing in on Speight. At least the Ozone author realizes Speight could very well lead the B1G in passing efficiency.

Karan The Destroyer Higdon.
Don't be surprised is he gets more snaps. Dude was running with a purpose on Sat.
September 5th, 2017 at 9:16 AM ^
I thought they all played very well and ran with a purpose. Higdon looked great, but I was very impressed with all of them as they all broke multiple tackles and looked fast.
September 5th, 2017 at 10:27 AM ^
If they had all those players, they would have no excuses for getting crushed. And we all know that they would still have been outmatched, outclassed and outscored badly. But people gonna say what they need to make themselves feel better. Florida sucks compared to Michigan. Period. Who's next on our path to glory?
GO BLUE!!

When someone mentioned the suspensions, I used a sports-betting analgy. Okay, you have those two important suspensions. To balance the action we'll spot you two TDs. One kind of cancels out the other. In fact, the two suspensions had or would have had no appreciable effect on the game's outcome. Maybe instead of 11 net yards the Gators might have gained 25 or 30 net yards. Mr. Scarlett would still have needed to get past Mr. Hurst --- a formidable challenge for any RB.

So yes, even if Scarlett was playing, he would've just met up with our defense at the line of scrimmage instead of two yards behind it because "he fast". I think that's why level headed people are going all-in on the suspension excuse...especially when UF has been a dumpster fire on offense since Tebow and Urban left.
