OGT: Appalachian State shocks Michigan and the Nation
I don't know if everybody else heard their coach talk on the radio, but the guy had a cocky attitude that was over the top. He said, "I don't know what the end result will be, but I do know that in the third quarter it will be a good ball game." He also said, "We might not have the talent that they do, but we've got 30 guys with 2 awfully big rings on their fingers." My favorite of the whole interview was, "If you want to know how good we are, I guarantee we'd win the MAC conference and I know we wouldn't finish on the bottom of the BT."
Wow, dillusional. Can't wait to see some highlights of the look on his face when he's down 21 in the first quarter.
OGT: Appalacian State @ Michigan
I don't even know if I spelled A.S.'s name right, but what a crazy first half. The size and speed of Michigan will take over as they power their way in the second half Carr style. But, I gotta give some credit to App. St.. I know some will come in and say this shows how questionable Michigan's secondary is, but I think it is more due to the offense and speed of App. St. It is difficult to defend a spread offense with a mobile QB (see OSU w/ Troy Smith) and this is a perfect example of it.
I expect Michigan to come out and try to control the clock in the 2nd half with a ground game. This will wear down App. St.'s defense and get their offense out of sync.
