Defense

The defense didn't play great but they played well enough to win the game. The Michigan running game really ran right down our throat they did a very good job of getting to our linebackers and too me it looked like we were overrunning the hole they would go through. The offense they ran was very hard to stop because they were cutting in to different lanes our defensive tackles weren't getting much penatration which caused a lot of open lanes for Minor to run through. The pass defense played very well for the most part they didn't give up any big plays and they kept Michigan from getting open too often, Spievey made the one mistake where he didn't get turned around in time but for the most part they did a good job.

 The defense wasn't lights out as we had seen but they did enough to win now presents a new challenge a big back just like Minor but a power running attack of Wisconsin and John Clay. This should be a very physical game I think we have the advantage due to the fact that spread teams have been able to run on us but teams that try and run it right at us have tend to struggle. We are 6 and 0 and heading into a tough venue the thing we can't do is give them short fields personally they don't have great recievers but they do have a good tight end and John Clay is a good running back also Tolzien has been very good this year should be another run game on Saturday.
