M
Downs Chips in Opener
TORCH LAKE, MICHIGAN AUGUST 30, 2003
Quick
takes on the Michigan v. Central
Michigan game:
- The
artificial field is going to be a
big boost for Michigan. The
players loved it and felt they could
really show their true speed.
I hear you could smell the rubber
throughout the stadium.
- The
offense could have racked up as many
points as they wanted to. The
only downside was the dropped
passes. Braylon Edwards is on
Coach Carr's s-list and the rumor is
that Edwards has big ideas about the
way things should be run, and they
differ from the ideas of the
coaching staff.
- The
defense giving up over 200 rushing
is no good. They will be
better next week against
Houston but
we'll really know the deal when
Notre Dame visits on Sept. 13.
- The
fans didn't throw marshmallows on
the field, but I bet the opposing
fans will in the coming weeks if
people keep talking about it.
-
Navarre is listed in the New York
Times as one of six people on
their Heisman Watch. He had
good numbers on Saturday but they
could have been better if the
receivers held onto the ball.
I thought Matt Gutierrez looked
pretty good late in the game.
He connected on a very nice rollout
pass.
- RS
freshman Steve Breaston was hyped
big time this off season, and he had
a great game and just about broke
off a big punt return for a TD.
Again, let's wait until the ND game
to see how these guys can play.
- I
really liked the huge holes the line
opened for Chris Perry. And
Perry ran real hard - I am sure he
loves the artificial turf as well.
- Ann
Arbor News columnist Jim
Cnockaert correctly predicted the
final score of Saturday's game
(45-7) in his pregame article.
