The Michigan Wolverines play in the
biggest stadium in college football. For
most games they play, there is usually a large section behind the south end
zone! However, on Saturday there was only a small patch of maroon in the sea of
blue and yellow!
Blue and yellow dominated the seats
as well as the field in their 63-13 victory over the University of
Massachusetts. The Minutemen are
competing in their first season in the Football Bowl Subdivision, and were a 46
point underdog.
UMass head coach Charley Molnar
admitted that the two teams were at the opposite ends of the spectrum in term
of talent. He said they were sloppy on
both sides of the ball and especially on special teams. Umass’s only touchdown came from the
defensive side of the ball when junior defensive back Christian Birt
intercepted a pass and ran it back for 32 yards. Michigan completely dominated, even sending
in back ups early as the third quarter.
The Minutemen have their work cut
out for them, playing tree opponents from the BCS conferences before they
return to a more favorable Mid-American Conference, where they will be facing
better matched teams. Molnar doesn’t
care about the schedule he said “It doesn't matter who we play, we have to play
better.”
