Both teams are 2-0. Michigan having played Connecticut and Notre Dame. UMass having beaten William and Mary and Holy Cross. FBS vs FCS. This is a payday for UMass and a practice for Michigan. I hope.
After the James Madison victory over Virginia Tech, not to mention that debacle against Appalachia State a few years ago, I suppose you can't be too careful about opponents like this.
My recommended game plan: On offense let Denard run the offense full out for one quarter maybe a little more, long enough to put the game out of reach, then only let him pass or hand off. Get those running backs and recievers lots of work so they can pick up the slack and our offense becomes multidimensional. Get the backup QBs some time, especially Devin Gardner. We know Robinson is going to get knocked out at some time this season, so we need a backup with a good attitude and some snaps under his belt ready to go.
Defense. All out all game. Their goal should be a complete whitewash. No points allowed. Gain confidence, figure out their angles to the ball, work on better pursuit to the ball and get the tackle right the first time, wrap them up.
UMass will be up for the game but intimidated by the Michigan Tradition and the Big House. The video of the coach on the UMass site indicates he's wondering why this game was scheduled.
So am I.
With Rhythm now...
It's good, to be, a Michigan Wolverine
Go Michigan, Beat Massachusetts!
