Cowboys Classic website (link) states that game will be a "prime time kickoff" televised either by ESPN or CBS. As Bama / UM is not on the ESPN release re: prime time B1G games, this probably means the game will be on CBS with Lundquist and Danielson. Boo.
Perhaps as interesting as comparing the 2010 and 2011 3rd down conversion percentages is comparing the number of 3rd down conversion attempts in each of these seasons. In 2011, the Michigan defense is allowing 1.6 fewer 3rd down conversion attempts per game compared to 2010 (66 vs. 74).
The Michigan defense is not allowing opponents to sustain drives like they did last season (so far anyway). Possible causes: an increase in turnovers forced + an increase in sustained drives by the Michigan offense.
...so interesting that Brian Cook made the very same observation on the main page of this blog I read earlier today. See: 9/21/2010 Unverified Voracity, "Etc."
I'm the auditionee. Been reading this blog since its infancy, but I have only commented once (see comment #79, Age of Miracles). If I land the part, Brian can definitely expect some "Beveled Guilt" in his direction.
Brian, I've been reading your blog for years but this is the first time I've been moved to comment. This is probably the best post I've read here. Good stuff.
