Potts Points: Observations from the Michigan-Miami Game

Of those Michigan penalties, there was an illegal motion by a wide receiver (Savoy), a pass interference by a linebacker (Ezeh), a false start by tight end (Butler), a personal foul, two delay of games, a holding by an offensive lineman (Ortmann), a substitution infraction at the end of the Utah game, a holding on a kick return, and a pass interference on Morgan Trent.

I think this is a pretty disciplined team so far. Two of those penalties (delay of games) you can blame on the quarterback. One penalty was on special teams. The offensive line has had no false starts and one holding penalty. None of the penalties have been costly. Let’s hope we can keep that up.

4. I wish we had a better return game. I love Donovan Warren as a corner, but he hasn’t done anything on punt returns yet this year. Some of that has to do with the kick coverage – Miami’s gunners were able to get to him pretty easily on most of his returns – but he doesn’t seem to have the quickness to make guys miss.

I liked what I saw from Boubacar Cissoko on a couple of kick returns, so hopefully he can see more action in the return game. Does Steve Breaston have any eligibility left???

5. The defense has played outstanding since halftime of the Utah game. They’re playing up to their potential and haven’t given up a touchdown in the last six quarters. Bring on the Irish!
