--Greg Mathews deserves some hype for several big catches in the second half. He's definitely Threet's go to for when they need a big first down and he came through several times. While I'd love to see more balls to Stonum and Hemingway, as long as Greg keeps moving the chains, I'm not complaining. I do have to wonder how the lack of production by the edge receivers is playing with current 2009 commit Bryce McNeal and 5-star uncomitted prospect Rueben Randle. McNeal made a statement earlier in the year to the effect that he was going to wait and see what the 2008 offense looked like this year before making his commitment official on signing day. --Sam McGuffie may not have had the best of day statistically, but I was really impressed with a couple of carries he made on Michigan's last scoring drive. On his first down run, McGuffie slipped through/bounced off of the Wisconsin DT and DE before churning forward for the first down. He also ran through a couple of tacklers on his TD run. For such a small guy, he definitely has enough power and slipperiness to bounce off defenders much bigger than him. Let's hope the O-Line gets their schemes down for Illinois and give Sam a couple more lanes to run in next week.
