Last Saturday both players had a chance to give their teams big wins over highly ranked opponents and for Mallett a chance to grab the lead in the Heisman race. Both players threw for over 300 yards but both had poor decisions that cost their team wins. Ryan had 3 interceptions against #1 Alabama and threw two in the fourth quarter when Arkansas had the lead. Steven through 4 interceptions on the day against #4 Oregon with 3 of those picks coming in the 4th quarter. His first interception was returned for a pick 6.
Those decisions obviously either cost their teams the game or a chance at a comeback. So we wish these gentlemen luck and hope for better days in the PAC 10 and the SEC.
- Michigan - MSU Game will be 3:30 kickoff on ABC/ESPN. This will be a lock on ABC if both teams win next weekend. MSU hosts Wisconsin.
- For those that are worried that Fitz Tousaint got caught from behind on his first carry as a Wolverine that went for 60 yards but was caught at the 3 yard line. He is still nursing a knee injury and had a knee brace on. I'm sure he doesn't get caught if he is healthy. He scored on the next play.
- Michigan is ranked #20 in the AP and #19 in the Coaches Poll.
- TomVH from Mgoblog reports that 2012 instate DT Danny O'Brien got a Michigan offer on Saturday.
- Lloyd Carr wants some type of playoffs in college football.
- Tim Brewster, Minnesota's head coach is on "unemployment watch" after the Golden Gophers lost to Northern Illinois last weekend. This week would be a good time for a fresh start with the Big Ten season starting. Maybe they should call Glen Mason again.
- ESPN's Big Ten Blog is ranking Michigan #4 in the Big Ten Power Rankings behind OSU, Iowa, and Wisconsin. Which is about right.
- There is a rumor floating around right now that Dee Hart will visit Alabama this weekend and then make his official decision known.
