Michigan Monday: I Love the Smell of a Win in the Morning

• No Buckeye Report today: Buckeye John didn't catch the Toledo beat down. Let me break it down for you here: TP had a good day but still threw two picks, USC lost to a team that didn't have a win last year, Illinois is up next and even though they haven't played well this year they always play well against the Buckeyes. Buckeye Nation continues to be sad at the USC loss and nervous about the Fighting lllini, believing the OSU defense will be the difference.

• Carlos "Santana" Brown is the Big Ten Co-Offensive Player of the week! (with Northwestern QB Mike Kafka).

• Michigan is now No. 23 in the AP and No. 22 in the Coaches

• Michigan only had two penalties for 20 yards against EMU. The pass interference call on Boubacar was BS.

• David Molk suffered a serious foot injury and it could be broken, which is not good for the offense line. Moosman and Khoury are the back ups.

• RR was not happy at the timing of the Mouton suspension. He said they didn't find out until after practice on Thursday and didn't have time to have the backup participate with the first team.

• Basketball Alert: 2011 point guard from Southfield, MI Carlton Brundidge has verbally committed to the Wolverines.

• Tate has bruised ribs—nothing serious. He will be ready for this week against IU.

• ESPN 2 will have the Michigan game this week at noon. Michigan is favored by 18 points.
