Forcier and Vincent Smith celebrate after a score
A beautiful day out there today as the masses came out to check out the Wolverines, back in Michigan stadium this year after holding a closed scrimmage in Saline in 2008. A few of the posts I put up during the day:
While there was no stand-out player at last year’s game, there’s no question that today it was freshman Tate Forcier. He showed some of the things you heard about in practice: sharp passes, moving well in the pocket, throwing well on the run, and showed that he can carry that ball. I don’t have all stats but I believe he ran for at least 2 touchdowns, including a beautiful jump and stretch to get the ball over the line in an overtime simulation. Vincent Smith mixed in some nice runs as well.
The defense gained a little momentum in the middle of the full-field scrimmage, but still showed some of the poor tackling that we’ve seen over the last few years. Will Campbell noted that a focus for the defense will be wrapping players up via the patented ‘Wolverine Wrap”.
