Who will score first Michigan TD?

Submitted by Greg McMurtry on

Who will score Michigan's first TD against Ap State and what play will it be?

I'm going with a post from DG to Funchess.

Deveon Smith will get it after a 30-40 yard gain courtesy of Mr. Funchess (my phone just suggested this spelling, score one for Apple) after which Mr. Smith will punch it in from the 5 yard line.

3rd offensive play of the game:

3rd and 5 from the App St. 25 yard line...

Pass play....

Jake Ryan blitzes up the middle and sacks App St. QB, forcing a rolling/bouncing fumble that ends up hopping into...

Brennan Beyer on the fumble recovery, takes it to the house easily from the 25, ushering in the 2014 Michigan defense that is a force to be wreckoned with.

(A pick-six happens later in the game as well, taken to the house by Raymon Taylor, 74 yard return)

This D will be exciting, can't wait to see it in action on Saturday!

We kick exclusively field goals on the golden legs (yes, both of them) of Matt Wile, whose sniper accuracy and 95-yard range proves all other offensive plays inefficient. Michigan averages 63 points a game in non-conference play, only to see that number drop 9 points to 54 during the B10 season. Michigan's only loss comes to Rutgers when a small October hurricane sits almost directly on top of High Point Solutions Stadium for four unfortunately-timed hours, causing Wile to miss the 59 yard game-winner. Final score: 49-48 Rutgers, led by Nova's 6 TD passes and one 84 yard scamper TD. 

 

So to answer your question, no one. No one scores a touchdown. Wile wins Heisman though, so that's cool.

I hope it's Norfleet.  I love that kid.  He's starting to rival D. Rob for most electrifying smile in college football.

To not answer the question, I think Michigan's first points are a field goal by Wile.  Get the ball first and stall in the red zone.  Then maybe Funchess touchdown on the next drive to go up 10-0.

M defense on field first, forces punt. Peppers returns punt 67 yds for TD.

 

I recall Anthony Carter did this the first time he touched the ball in his first game as a freshman.

After what we discovered about the news strategy for developing longsnappers in the Sugar Bowl, I am shocked that no one said Scott Sypniewski. After all, in a pinch, the LS is good for some short receiving yards, right?

Realistically, however, like others I have a suspicion that the first TD will coincide with the first opportunity to shout, "ALL OF THE DEVINS!"
