They are a little like watching those Jimmy Johnson Cowboy teams that were just faster then everyone else at the time....they don't have quite the grit those teams did, but the speed is just so striking.

Michigan hasn't been shutout in any game since 1984, which has to be one of the longest streaks in the nation.Deathofthebambino said:Does Michigan kick a field goal here with 3 minutes to go down 31-0 to avoid the shutout?

They would, but they don't have a kicker, apparently. Those were two ugly misses in the first half.
Funny that, with 2:41 to go, they've actually outgained Notre Dame. No one would argue that they've outplayed Notre Dame, though. Not even close.
Chemistry Schmemistry said:You look at NFL rosters, right down to where they went to high school, and the southeast is very heavily represented. Especially in the skill positions. California still holds its own. But old strongholds like Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan are considerably down. Take away the skill positions and the corners and it's fairly geographically balanced. So it's primarily that combination of speed and football that the Big Ten isn't doing well with these days.

Bring back Mack.
