Michigan 2010 Stat Leaders
Seeing as its been kind of a slow day, I figured I'd throw a bone to the MGoBoard and start a thread.
The question here is: Who do you think will lead Michigan in the following statistical categories?
My picks and predictions...
Pass Yards: Tate Focier -- 2200
Pass TDs: Tate Forcier -- 18
Rush Yards: **Mike Cox -- 875
Rush TDs: Mike Cox -- 8
Receiving Yards Roy Roundtree -- 750
Receiving TDs Koger/Roundtree -- 6
Tackles: Obi Ezeh -- 85
INTs: Cam Gordon -- 4
Sacks: -- Van Bergen/Roh -- 8
** Depending on the split at QB and at RB I would not be shocked to see Denard lead the team in rushing with over 1,000 yards.
Thoughts...?

Oh, stat leaders. I was afraid you meant Jenny Granholm.
April 23rd, 2010 at 11:02 AM ^
an inaccurate thread title.
April 23rd, 2010 at 12:43 PM ^
Well played.
April 23rd, 2010 at 10:51 AM ^
Pass Yards: Denard Robinson -- 2000
Pass TDs: Denard Robinson -- 30
Rush Yards: Denard Robinson -- 2004
Rush TDs: Denard Robinson -- 4
Tackles: Cam Gordon -- 132
Ints: Cam Gordon -- 30
Sacks: Jonas Mouton -- 1
April 23rd, 2010 at 12:23 PM ^
You really think Mouton is going to lead the team with 1 sack? What about Craig "Can't-be-stopped-when-running-straight-at-you-no-matter-who-you-throw-at-me-I'm-gonna-get-you" "Death" Roh?
April 23rd, 2010 at 10:51 AM ^
I'm gonna disagree with your leading tackler and INT-grabber; I am going to go with Mouton and Woolfolk in those two categories, respectively.
April 23rd, 2010 at 11:00 AM ^
Considering that Hopkins is going to be the running back for small yardage and goal line situations, it is quite likely that he might lead the team in rushing TDs. Similar to MSU situation couple of years back when they had one bull for goal line and one speedy back for everything else. The speedy one had lots more yards but the bull had the most TDs.
April 23rd, 2010 at 11:10 AM ^
Pass Yards: Cone Jones -- 3,700
Pass TDs: Jones - 6.5
Rush Yards: O'Neil Swanson - 1,340
Rush TDs: Stephen Hopkins - 26
Receiving Yards: Denard Robinson (since it's in his best interests to not play the position he wants to and enjoys playing) - 3,694 (Odoms gets the other 4 on a bubble screen)
Receiving TDs: Odoms - 1
Tackles: Floyd Simmons/Jordan Kovacs (just because walk-ons are people too, and, er, Kovacs was second on the team in tackles last year) -- 110
INTs: Kovacs - 3. E-fact - Kovacs had more interceptions in 2009 than Troy Woolfolk and J.T. Floyd combined. Hell, so did Craig Roh and Boubacar Cissoko.
Sacks: -- Jibreel Black - 7.
April 23rd, 2010 at 11:22 AM ^
No prediction on the other two receiving yards?
April 23rd, 2010 at 11:35 AM ^
3694 + 4 = 3700 ????
April 23rd, 2010 at 11:53 AM ^
I"ve left a buffer in case Tate gets playing time before he transfers to CAW this fall.
April 23rd, 2010 at 12:19 PM ^
ahh genius
April 23rd, 2010 at 11:23 AM ^
Tackles: Jordan Kovacs - 115
INT's: T-Wolf - 3
16 sacks out of two guys is a lot...I could see one of them with 8-10, but not both. RVB only gets 4 or 5 I think.
I don't think Koger gets that many TD's either...he's been sliding down the play calling chart with the dropsies.
April 23rd, 2010 at 11:46 AM ^
I was on the fence about picking Mouton or Kovacs for my leading tackler. Since Kovacs was #2 last year in tackles, he could definitely be #1. 115 is a shit-ton though (I think he had 82 last year?).
April 23rd, 2010 at 12:03 PM ^
Kovacs had 75 last year...you're right that it would be a huge jump. I think he'll have a ton of opportunities to slash in from the weakside against the run on first and second down and crush people. He'll be smart and be in position to grab cutbacks that Campbell, Martin, Roh, Ezeh, et al stuff the point of attack and the RB is seeking daylight. He's going to get tested in the pass game quite a bit as well against TE's and Slots.
Mouton's not a bad pick, but I would go with Ezeh out of the linebacker corps, just because he's the MLB and will be attacking the line of scrimmage a lot in this defense.
I can definitely see Ezeh taking that honor. I really liked Mouton in the spring game though. He was the leading tackler (which means absolute dick, I know) in the game and had the should-have-been safety on Gardner. I think he's going to improve a ton this year over his 2009 play.
I think Mouton sitting out last spring after surgery really hurt his development in the new defense. He could be a monster this fall...remember how geeked everyone was after he started crushing fools at the end of 2008? I hope he gets back to that level and beyond. (infinity?)
April 23rd, 2010 at 12:05 PM ^
He'll be playing weak-side too, which means that most of the time the play will be flowing away from him. He does have the advantage of playing close to the receiver on screens and quick slants though.

Pass Yards: Robinson - 1700
Pass TDs: Robinson - 14
Rush Yards: Cox - 700
Rush TDs: Robinson - 11
Receiving Yards: Roundtree - 800
Receiving TDs: Roundtree - 7
Tackles: Ezeh - 90
Interceptions: Floyd - 2
Sacks: Roh - 7
April 23rd, 2010 at 12:28 PM ^
But the numbers I really want to predict:
8 wins
5 loses
Go Blue!
8-5 means we lost all the games that mattered. 11-2, lets win a bowl game and go 6-2 in the Big Ten.

Pass Yards: Robinson 1850
Rush Yards: Robinson 1050

Rush TD's: Hopkins 9
Receiving Yards: Odoms 950
Receiving TD's: Hemmingway 7
Tackles: OBI 110
Picks: Woolfolk 6

rushing for 1,000 yards... per GAME!
I don't want to guess specific yards but I say Denard leads us in passing and rushing yards. Stephen Hopkins leads us in rushing touchdowns and Roy Roundtree leads us in receiving touchdowns. On defense I say Craig Roh leads us in sacks. Jonas Mouton leads us in tackles. Troy Woolfolk and Cameron Gordon tie for the interceptions lead.
Pass Yards: Robinson 1650
Rush Yards: Robinson 900
Pass TD's: Forcier 13 (Yes this is my prediction since I think they will use Tate by the goal line more with Denard spread out)
Rush TD's: Robinson 7
Receiving Yards: Roundtree 1200
Receiving TD's: Roundtree 8
Tackles: OBI 101
Picks: Woolfolk 4
Sacks: Roh 7
Pass Yards: Tate Focier 2800
Pass TDs: Tate Forcier 25
Rush Yards: Vincent Smith 1105
Rush TDs: Smith 12
Receiving Yards: Stonum 900
Receiving TDs: Roundtree 7
Tackles: Kovacs 88
INTs: Dorsey 5
Sacks: Roh 8
A 5'6" kid coming off a torn ACL is going to rush for 1100 yards, a receiver who never gets the ball thrown his way is going to have 900 yards receiving, and a kid who might not qualify is going to end up with 5 interceptions.
