Highs and Lows Bolded tell the story! Of 120 Division I teams, our offense ranks #45 in rushing offense. That is pretty sad for a team that puts so much emphasis on running the football. Our passing offense ranked #74 nationally, and passing efficiency ranked #82. We ranked #73 in total offense and #70 in scoring offense. Our offense scored 46 TDs in 13 games: Hart with 14 and the receivers with 25. Our red zone offense ranked 9th in the Big Ten, and our inability to score touchdowns in the red zone completely changed the Oregon game. One red zone in the Ohio State and Wisconsin games doesn't give out team a chance to win. It is obvious that without a variety of offensive options including a spread offense with appropriate personnel recruited, we will be a predictable offense that defensive coordinators can analyze and defend. Jim Tressel and company have had answers for our offense, and will continue to stop it until we adjust and become more unpredictable and more difficult to defend. We began the season ranked #5, and we'll end the season with a Top 25 finish!

Comments: Henne completed 162 of 278 passes for 1938 yards, 17 TDs, 9 interceptions for a +8, 10 turnovers and 15 sacks. He had a 130.54 efficiency rating. Mallett completed 61 of 141 with 5 interceptions, 7 TD passes, 1 TD run, 11 sacks and 6 fumbles for 8 turnovers. His efficiency rating is 105.69; our team passing efficiency rating is 122.91 ranking us #82 nationally and #9 in the Big Ten. Sheridan was the 3rd quarterback with Cone as 4th string; Cone completed his first pass as a Wolverine against Minnesota. Forcier transfers. Threet will be eligible in 2008, and couldn't participate in the Capital One game.

Comments: Moundros did nice job blocking the entire season, and had 3 catches for 11 yards, no carries. He had a huge block on the Illinois defensive end that freed Arrington to complete his TD throw to Manningham. Moundros also had 11 tackles on special teams; he is a real hustler. Helmuth played on special teams, and backed up. Patilla is back on the team, but Thornbladh was deleted from the roster due to fighting; however, he has been acquitted so he may be back. Our tight ends line up at fullback in some of DeBord's schemes. All of our three top fullbacks return for 2008: Moundros, Helmuth and Patilla and that should help for blocking our new spread offensive schemes.

Comments: Michael Hart passed Anthony Thomas as Michigan's all-time leading rusher, but goes out 0-4 against Ohio State! Hart netted 1361 yards on 265 carries, 8 catches for 50 yards and 14 TDs; he is a true All-American and the #5 rusher in the nation, #1 in the Big Ten. He could have had a chance for the Heisman, but his ankle injuries prevented that. Brandon Minor netted 385 yards in 90 carries, 6 yards on 2 receptions and 257 yards on 13 kickoff returns; he had 1 TD. Carlos Brown fumbled 3 times for 3 turnovers; however, he took advantage of his opportunities and scored 4 TDs in four starts with Hart out. He gained 382 yards in 75 carries; he also had 16 kickoffs for 306 yards. Brown did not play in the Ohio State game nor did he play in the Capital One Bowl so he must have injured something or had academic difficulties. Horn had a hamstring pull, and redshirted. Coach Jackson says that Horn is the fastest back that Michigan has had in 15 years. Walk-on Jim Potemba got his first action as a Wolverine with 6 carries for 16 yards. Walk-on and former scholarship wrestler Mike Milano had 23 yards in 5 carries. Kevin Grady's torn ACL resulted in a redshirt year; he did dress for the Ohio State game, but his grades didn't allow him to participate in the Capital One Bowl game. McGuffie is eligible in 2008, and he is one of the top running back recruits in the USA (Rivals 5 star); Lemming has him ranked in the top 10 players overall being recruited for 2008. We also add Mike Cox from Connecticut. Coach Jackson will be back for 2008 to coach the running backs and offense! He is an outstanding coach and we are lucky to have him. Carlos Brown, Brandon Minor, Sam McGuffie, Avery Horn, Mike Cox and Kevin Grady will all have a chance to show their stuff in 2008!

We have no tight end or fullback integrated into our offense so we have one back and three wideouts to concentrate on. This means we have an offense with 4 skill players and 7 blockers: five offensive linemen and 2 others: fullback and tight end. This is what one may refer to as a one-dimensional offense.

Comments: Arrington had 67 catches for 882 yards, and 7 TDs; he was 1 of 2 passing for one big TD to Manningham to win the Illinois game. Good luck in the NFL for AA; he certainly hoisted his value with an outstanding Capital One performance! He has learned from his mistakes. Savoy is back on the team after he was found not guilty Savoy had one catch for 9 yards. Walk-on Jon Conover won the 2nd back up, and Walk-on David Middleton didn't play, but is capable as shown in the Spring game. Bass did not play in 2007, but may contribute in 2008. Look for Daryl Stonum in 2008 to immediately contribute.

Comments: Tight End position was weak in 2007; 27 catches in 13 games for 327 yards and 2 TDs which is a 2 catch, 25 yard average per game. Opponents really need not both to defend this since it isn't any threat. Massey had 4 catches for 38 yards, and two kickoffs for 28 yards; he went out for the season with knee surgery. Butler came up with 20 catches for 246 yards and 2 TDs plus a 16 yard run after he missed a block when reinstated to the team. Butler consistently was flagged for holding, illegal procedure in every game he played which negate any gains he made for the team. Criswell had two catches for 32 yards; McLaurin had one catch each for 11 yards. Webb played on special teams so did not redshirt. Watson redshirted. In 2008, Kevin Koger and Brandon Moore should greatly help the depth here. A new tight ends coach should help in 2008 with Butler, Massey, Webb, Watson, Moore and Koger in the mix. Look for Criswell and/or McLaurin to go back to defense.

Our receivers were outstanding in the Capital One Bowl victory over Florida with 25 receptions for 373 yards and 3 TDs! Contrast that with out season average of 17 receptions for 220 yards and 2 TDs, and you see the problem. Best wishes to Mike DeBord for his future coaching assignments! He did call a good final game! We didn't execute the offensive tackle eligible pass to Jake Long or the reverse flea flicker when Henne was picked off near the end zone, but DeBord called a nice finale. Thank goodness we are getting a new offensive coordinator for 2008! We'll have Mathews, Hemingway, Clemons, Butler and Massey back with possibly either Manningham or Arrington for the three wideout scheme to go with a spread offense. Savoy and Stonum may also contribute along with Webb. We'll be scary offensively with new schemes that will have defensive coordinators guessing all season.

Comments: Schilling started every game at right tackle or right guard, and learned a lot as a redshirt freshman. He'll need to get much stronger to handle the charging defensive ends to protect our quarterback. I'll predict he'll move to right guard for 2008. Ortmann was his main backup, and started a few games; he and Dorenstein, Huyge and O'Neill will fight for right and left tackle positions in 2008. Mealer probably redshirts.

Comments: Mitchell and Ciulla stated most of the games at right guard along with McAvoy. They didn't really do a great job, and we didn't run as much to the right side. Pictures circulating of Mitchell's stomach and overweight problem contribute to poor conditioning, quickness and speed needed to block onrushing defensive linemen. Many sacks came through this side of our line. I sincerely doubt that Coach Rodriquez will offer 5th years to Cuilla and/or Mitchell. We are adding at least five newcomers for 2008: Dan O'Neill, Kurt Wermers, Rocko Khoury, George Morales and Elliot Mealer. Khoury probably starts at right guard and redshirts in 2008. Look for Schilling to move to Right Guard with Zirbel and McAvoy backing him up in 2008.

Our defense ranked #27 in scoring defense, #58 in rushing defense, #10 in pass defense, #17 in pass efficiency defense and #26 in total defense. We ranked #30 nationally in sacks with 31, #28 in turnover margin and #24 in tackles for loss. Defense did a horrible job against the run this year especially against Wisconsin, Ohio State, Oregon and Appalachian State, our four losses. We obviously can't stop spread offenses because we don't practice against spread offenses, and we don't recruit the personnel who can simulate spread offenses in practice. Our defense had zero sacks against Wisconsin and Ohio State to close the season, and the defense only created one turnover in each game. They couldn't stop teams in the second half when we needed them to do so; however, they did come up with strong closing efforts against Penn State, Illinois and Michigan State in the end. Our pass defense really improved when Donovan Warren became the starter, and Johnny Sears left the team. If we can recruit some strong safeties to go along with the strong linebacking core that we recruited, and four returning starters on our defensive line, that will help give us a strong nucleus for next season. I'd give the defense an overall grade of B- for 2007; they did a good job and our losses were more attributable to a lack of offense than a strong defense. The offense left them out on the field way too long in the Wisconsin and Ohio State games, and offensive failure to convert early opportunities contributed to the Oregon fiasco. Pin the Appalachian State loss on the defense, but had Engelmon started the season instead of Stevie Brown, we would probably not have been in that position.

Comments: Will Johnson had 38 tackles, 1.5 for loss with .5 sack. Will Johnson and Terrence Taylor are the two strongest players on the team physically per weight room performance, but their line play is mediocre overall. John Ferrara backed up the nose and defensive tackle, and has contributed 2 tackles, 1 for loss. Sagesse has also played, and was the first substitute over Ferrara against Purdue and Minnesota. Detroit Catholic Central star, Mike Martin, will compete for playing time in 2008. McKinney transfers to Louisville

Slocum and Kates were in on goal line defense. Kates is not able to participate in the Capital One game, no reasons given, but probably academic and/or disciplinary.

He had no tackles in the Capital One Bowl. We really need to get stronger at this position for 2008. Hopefully, Ryan Van Bergen will contribute in 2008. Greg Banks backed up, and had 6 tackles. Walk-on Tim North made the travel team, and got his first Wolverine tackle. Crable lined up here in some nickel formations. This position could be virtually eliminated in Coach Rodriquez' 3-3-5 defensive scheme.

The Defense line improved after a slow start, but they did not get penetration the entire year; in every loss, they allowed way too much rushing yardage. This unit will return for 2008, and should be much better. Kudos to Coach Stripling for helping this young group improve; hopefully, Coach Rodriquez will re-hire him! Taylor is not ready for the NFL, and if he leaves early, it would be dumb on his part. If I were to give them an overall grade for 13 games, it would be a C or C-! On the bright side, all four down linemen will return for 2008 along with their backups. If we could add some new recruits like Nick Perry, we could be getting better penetration and a lot of sacks in 2008.

Comments: Chris Graham had 83 tackles, 7 for loss, one sack, 2 forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and 3 pass break ups. He was a solid, steady force on the defense, and very consistent this year. Logan had 9 tackles and a fumble recovery, and started his first game as a Wolverine against EMU; however, he got hurt and did't played since. Jonas Mouton did get in after suffering early season injuries, and finished with 5 tackles. Brandon Herron redshirted while he builds himself up physically from 195 to 220 in the weight room. Tim Witherspoon, Kenny Demens and J.B. Fitzgerald will be looking for immediate playing time in 2008.

This unit really improved. Ezeh has an outstanding future for 2008-2010. Chris Graham was steady and effective, and improved tremendously. Crable had a solid senior year, and his leadership as Captain was great. I was most disappointed that Mouton didn't contribute more because he should also have a tremendous future 2008-2010. Overall, this unit gets a solid B for 13 games! Coach Szabo did a nice job solidifying and improving this unit!

This unit improved tremendously, and ranked #14 nationally in pass defense and #20 in pass efficiency defense. Engelmon steadied the group, and the addition of Warren gave us better coverage capabilities. Jamar Adams had his best games against Penn State with 5 pass break ups, and Michigan State with 14 tackles. Trent was solid, and Harrison has improved his tackling. Kudos to Coach Bedford! This group has really improved, and that reflects good coaching!

It is obvious from analyzing this graphic that our defensive backs were forced to make way too many tackles. Our defensive line doesn't get enough penetration so our linebackers and defensive backs have to pick up the slack, and slack there was.

Sears had 14 yards in two attempts before he was kicked off the team for failing a drug test according to rumor. Punt returns are no threat to the opposition as we only average 7.5 yards per return. Mathews has fumbled thrice, but recovered all with a little help from Doug Dutch. We ranked 85th nationally in punt returns.

I believe Moundros and Griffin are walk-ons who have earned full scholarships. Walk-ons who've played this year include Max Pollock, Jim Potemba, Jon Conover, Tim North, K.C. Lopata and Shakir Edwards. Thornbladh is no longer on the roster, but could return now that he is acquitted of charges.
