Title: "Michigan mulls its options for sharing the load against Alabama" Post by: Chechem on August 08, 2012, 10:46:12 PM http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/blog/eye-on-college-football/19758157/shorthanded-michigan-mulls-its-options-for-sharing-the-load-against-alabama
Quote With Fitzgerald Touissant in the lineup, Michigan returned more than 80 percent of its total offense from 2011 and was the only team in the nation preparing for 2012 with not one, but two 1,000-yard rushers en tow. With Toussaint suspended indefinitely in the wake of a drunk driving arrest in July, Michigan… well, Michigan still has Denard Robinson, the more electrifying half of its millennial tandem, but no one else who has done anything to keep opposing defenses from keying on the quarterback. When the first defense on the schedule is arguably the best defense in college football, that's a problem. Interesting. See the comment? "Words can not express how frustrated I am with Toussaint's stupidity and selfishness. One has to really question the young man's character when the first game of the season is against the defending National Champions and he can't stay focused and make the right choices on and off the field that his team needs of him. I'm pissed that I've invested all of that money (I'm not a wealthy guy at all...."

Those hits are best saved for the thick of the Big Ten schedule. If he tries running the ball 20 times against Alabama, he will be carried out of the stadium in a body bag. Alabama ain't Northwestern or Michigan State, especially at linebacker and DB. :popcorn2: Title: Re: "Michigan mulls its options for sharing the load against Alabama" Post by: SUPERCOACH on August 09, 2012, 10:41:14 AM He better tie his shoes before he gets to Dallas.

Shoes are the least of his problems. I hope he is paid up on his health insurance.

RTR!
