Michigan defeated San Diego State 28 to 7. Now to some that is an impressive win. Now while I am proud that they won there are still so many issues that I have with Michigan. I’ll start with the good first, I was impressed RB Vincent Smith and Fitzgerald Toussaint, and they combined for 116 rushing yards. QB Denard Robinson ended the game with 200 rushing yards and 3 rushing TDs. Michigan offensive line did a good job as well. Defensively I was impressed with the fact they held San Diego State to 124 rushing yards. Michigan defense also forced 3 fumbles and recovered all 3 fumbles. Michigan did a great job of pressuring QB Ryan Lindley who struggled the entire game. However I was disappointed that Michigan defense allowed San Diego State to get into their territory. San Diego State had a total of 13 possessions and was able to get into Michigan territory 10 times out of those 13 possessions. To be honest Michigan probably would have lost this game if San Diego State had capitalized and scored. Michigan must play better defense. Offensively, once again QB Denard Robinson had a great game when it came to rushing yards and rushing TDs, but passing wise he still struggled. He threw for 8 of 16 for only 88 passing yards and 2 interceptions. That is unacceptable, he needs to be able to pass accurately and consistently pass against better defenses. Lastly offensively we scored 21 points in the first half, but we didn’t score again until late in the 4^th quarter. Michigan begins BIG TEN play next week against Minnesota; hopefully Michigan will improve on their turnovers and etc., because they can’t play like this against BIG TEN teams and expect to win.

Basically Michigan did it’s job, beating up on Eastern Michigan University. But I’m still concerned with their slow start. They didn’t score until middle of the 2nd quarter. They can’t continue to play like this, and have these slow starts if they truly want to be successful. While many people are still impressed with QB Denard Robinson, I still have concerns. Now in this game QB Robinsons 26 rushes for 198 yards for 1 TD. That may impresses some but the stats that concerned me is the 95 passing yards & only completed 37% of those passes. That has to improve, QB Denard Robinson needs to improve that, and we will need him to be able to pass accurately and consistently against better a secondary. I also feel Michigan needs to give the ball to the speedy RB Vincent Smith more. He put up 118 yards on just 9 carries. Michigan faces Head Coach Brady Hoke’s old team San Diego State this Saturday. They are not to be underestimated by Michigan. This is a good team. Hopefully we will see some improvements this week in Michigan.
