I believe that was our entire play calling last year. I'm hoping for something a bit more...unpredictable this year.

Nice to have two stud RBs! Just hope our OL can hold up this year.

Why is Deveon Smith wearing a "2013 Buffalo Wild Wings" bowl shirt? I would have burned that sucker by half-time.

Maybe it's comfortable?

If I have a comfortable shirt that says "KICK ME", I'm not wearing it.

Maybe, despite the game, he still enjoyed the bowl experience?
Bowls are weird - like a vacation and game mixed together. You do little tourist things and get free stuff. Even if you lose, it's probably a cool experience, especially when you're a freshman who's never been on any other trips.

The question they asked Deveon, "How are you outgoing?" God, what a stupid question.

"can't you tell from this interview?"

"How did you two become good friends?"
"Um, we all just played video games together when we got here."
"Oh, so do you two live together?"
"No... We played video games." (Gives guy weird look.
" oh, oh ok."
What the hell just happened?..
The vast majority of so-called "sports journalists" are more suited to delivering pizzas. The next time one of these knuckleheads asks an intelligent question will be their first.

Deveon does a great job of answering the questions. It seemed to me the reporters smelled blood in the water and thought they could get a juicy quote from the young back to create some fabricated drama. Well done, Mr. Smith. Well done.

Green is down to 220? This is a good thing.
EDIT: Smith said that Borges was a pass 1st, run 2nd kind of guy. Excuse me while I go laugh.
All weight changes are good.
There was also a good article on this on Mlive: http://www.mlive.com/wolverines/index.ssf/2014/03/doug_nussmeiers_running_game_l.html
Sounds like Coach Nuss is all around doing a much better job than Borges, according to the players. He seems to be getting back to the basics with this young offense and it seems like they are liking it.
This is excellent news. Years ago I minced at hearing that Borges turned to the NFL for his schemes. Talent/experience/time all separate the NFL from college players, many of whom are called to duty in year 1 of their college career, so it makes little sense to expect a college team to grasp the same schemes seen in the pros.
Proof? Last year's offense, where all you heard about was "execution," which translated, meant "Borges' schemes are far too complex and require too much from young college minds."
Love hearing the boys now talking about the simplicity of Nuss's system. The system can be simple, and leave it up to him and Devin to throw the surprises at the defense.
Great news. Can't wait to see the improvement on the O line and running game.
I'm just glad Green is down to 220. He looks lean in the face and shoulders and looks like where he needs to be. I am excited for him this year. I hope the line can give him some holes. And both him and Smith do not look like 19 year old kids. They look like grown men.
Seems strange to me that De'Veon is now heavier than Green. Should be fun to see who rises to the top.
