Can the Minutemen defense clamp Shoelace (Denard Robinson of Michigan)? Or UMass may be lucky on the other end and expose some holes in the Wolverine defense? Or is Shoelace too much for UMass to handle (as UConn and Notre Dame both did little to stop him)?

It's very unlikely for UMass to pull a JMU here. Shoelace is unstoppable at this point. Michigan by at least 3 touchdowns.

I think Michigan will win. Nobody will sneak up on them again the way we did in 2007. From watching Michigan so far, it seems that they are vulnerable to deep passes. Good luck!

Uncle Buck
September 14th, 2010, 09:32 AM
I think Michigan will be ready not only because of the App St game, but with the recent upset JMU scored over Va Tech, it's probably being drilled into their heads that they have to drop the hammer from the get go.

The one thing we've got going for us is that we'll have more film of that QB to review than their first two opponents. We'll focus on making someone else beat us, though no doubt Michigan has other great athletes on offense.

Mich will probably be good since it appears they cloned AE and named him Robinson.

DrG
September 14th, 2010, 12:11 PM
Regardless of their App experience, I have to think Michigan will come out a bit flat after an emotional win at ND. We have enough outside speed to keep Robinson in check for a while and we could make it reasonably competitive for much of the first half, but their depth will wear us down.

There's an interesting discussion on our board about whether Denard Robinson is substantially better than Armanti Edwards was. Thoughts?

Robinson is faster, that's a fact.

It looks like Rich Rod finally has what he wants in Ann Arbor, and Denard Robinson has to be the favorite for the HEISMAN right now. Going to be a tough game for UMASS but all of us FCS guys will be pulling for you.

Anyone who is going to Ann Arbor should have fun as long as they are not expecting too much from the Minutemen on the field. There are an absurb amount of bars in AA and some really awesome restaurants for a college town. AA really is the cultural capital of the state (which is kind of sad), but still, it's a cool place. Students are kind of nerdy though. Enjoy the Big House, one of the great shrines in all of sport.

haha that's funny, they mentioned the same sort of thing today on Around the Horn, I think it is too early to say, the kid has only played 2 college games, but obviously he looks unstoppable. i think fbs teams will be better equiped to adjust to him and will have the athletes to contain him. fcs teams were often able to make the right adjustments against AE but just didnt have the athletes to execute.

I replied to that article without seeing the video. A lot gets lost in translation, when you just read the quotes. Regardless, good luck tomorrow. I'll be pulling for you. A UMass win, is a win for the FCS and for the CAA. Go get 'em.

Still angry about the game last year huh?

I'm just hoping Robinson gets knocked out with a minor injury in the first drive and can't play the rest of the game. I'm not saying a serious injury, just something that will keep him out the rest of the game but leave him ok for the rest of the season.

Other than that the only way we are going to win is with a lot of xprayxxprayx.

Thanks for the kind thoughts though SantosBall.

All four of those runs were at the same spot in our defense. Nobody is in the second level on the right side of our defense.

Well, no stopping the Michigan offense. But let's see if we can put up 30!

Jackman
September 18th, 2010, 02:46 PM
Was McIntyre able to get back on the field? I think that's where they're attacking.

EmeryZach
September 18th, 2010, 02:48 PM
Not good. Ihne just dislocated his shoulder it looks like.

This is what I was worried about. Not good at all.

EmeryZach
September 18th, 2010, 02:49 PM
I think that is the same shoulder as last year. That is not good. the O-Line needs Ihne at center. He is the key.

EmeryZach
September 18th, 2010, 02:52 PM
Oh boy. That was one of those bad Havens passes from last year.

Jackman
September 18th, 2010, 02:53 PM
I agree, looked like the same injury.

439 yards of offense so far for UMass, so the 37 points are no fluke. Great sign going forward, regardless of the outcome today.

1st down, game over. Excellent showing by UMass today, though! Gives me a lot of confidence in this team going forward.

Sam Adams

Well, looks like we came up just a bit short today.

Jackman

Dang, we were a couple plays short on this one. Lots of missed opportunities. But the team played really well.

Great game UMASS. Just checked Michigan's future schedules. No FCS schools next year but 2012 has a few slots open. So much fun to watch an FCS team play well in The Big House.

Congrats UMass on a really entertaining contest. Might it be that, come playoff time, a close loss in Amherst in the season opener could be a mark in favor of the tribe?

I got to watch some of this game. UMass was totally impressive. There was no doubt whatsoever that the Minutemen belonged in the Big House and outplayed Michigan in several aspects of the game. I'm really impressed. Congrats!

EmeryZach

If we hadn't given up that last TD before the half everything could have been different.

umassfan
September 18th, 2010, 08:30 PM
I must say I like how we played today. The offense showed they will be hard to stop no matter who the team is. Havens looks light years ahead of how he played last season. Also it will be very hard for any team to stop our rushing attack this season. Should be fun to watch. Good job Minutemen!

UMass was ok,I guess,but the team I was most impressed with today was UNH.Now that was a total team effort.


PS: Seriously,that was totally awesome.Congrats to UMass and all their fans.

Great little snippet from the AP article.

"As discouraged as Rodriguez was with his team on defense and special teams, he was impressed enough with the Minutemen to visit their locker room after the game.

'I don't do that very often,' he said."

those silly ESPN guys are still saying that Michigan comes out flat against a "layup" - I dont think they were flat, how could they be after ASU? UMASS outplayed them and the Michigan defense was the one that was the layup....

Agreed, that's just the jackasses who usually played at a big name school looking to save face. Bottom line, 110K people in the stands and the UMass offense was just outplaying the Michigan defense. Man it would have been good to see the wolverines take another L at home to an FCS.

I know, I know. Being from the Northeast I am impressed when more than twelve people gather for football.

BUT, if your team ever plays Michigan, you MUST go. Both the in the stadium and away from the stadium (the campus and the excellent Ann Arbor Main St.) experiences were outstanding.
