Gray doesnt have to be great to be better then Weber
he needs expierence though so we have something to look forward to for the next 3 years. Are you really excited about this team next year with Weber as the starting QB? I dont care for 6-6 records and losing to Iowa Wisky Penn St Michigan and OSU every time we play them.

Ohio St
Well Purdue and Navy moved the ball well on them and they couldnt stop Navy when they had to i hope we are better then Purdue and Navy. Penn St really has played no one worth mentioning to date besides Iowa and lost and home. Illinois racked up 400 yards of offense on them though.

Is Brewster throwing the game? This is Illinois, remember? Perhaps he has to give this one back so Illinois can win out and go bowling, and Brew is counting on SDSU and Iowa.
BTW, the Iowa game is up for grabs if Stanzi is out. Sounds like a MCL issue.

No way Brewster throws a game
even to his alma mater. Makes no sense his job is not that secure to do that. We saw what happened to Mason after 1 inexcuseable game and that was after he signed an extension.

Possibly, but I don’t think so. Making two coaching changes in 23 months is just stupid. Plus, the defensive secondary is just a joke personnel wise, which is largely due to Lloyd’s terrible defensive recruiting from 2005-07. There are a million things contributing to the bad D.
Let’s not forget – Michigan has the best scoring offense in the conference.
The expectations, however, will be for 9 wins in 2010, or he’ll be in trouble.
