It also changes the equation if we fall behind by multiple scores against a team that wants to lean on the run. Colorado got up big and wanted to continue to throw, so this is the first example.Mich. is averaging 4.97 yd/rush. It will be interesting to see how the D holds up against their OL which is by far the best we will have seen this year.

That's my guess too. Something like 14-0 at half, and then the wheels fall off.I think we hold up well in the 1st half. 2nd half the defense will probably have been on the field too much and wear down.
Which shows the philosophical difference between former regimes and Rhules incredulousness (disdain?) for game time depth charts. If there weren't Blackshirts we could conceivably say we have 20 starters on D, and no one really can tell the difference when someone is on or off.I think this really helps for recruiting. Show guys they can get on the field even if they aren't the starter and it doesn't have to be on special teams.
