The Ryan Mallett for Heisman campaign gets derailed by the Wildcats…

 

Offense-  FR QB Ryan Mallett looked human in this one.  It looked like he had first road game jitters- he’ll bounce back.  Chad Henne returned to rally the team to victory.  The offense sputtered for most the game but finally got in gear late in the 4th quarter.

 

Defense-  The defense looked completely unprepared during the first quarter.  They seemed to buckle down for the second half but the inconsistency remains difficult to understand.

 

Special Teams-  They continue to give too many return yards…Gonna be a problem against better teams if things don’t get shored up.

 

Coaching-   A lackluster performance all around.  At this rate the Wolverines can’t take any opponent for granted.

 

Comments-   The Wolverines need to hammer EMU next week…
