Sap is back with one caveat: “After a game like that, there are no Champions – only three Hustlers and one Uniform CHUMP.”

OFFENSIVE HUSTLER |
DEVIN FUNCHESS – Dude was doing his best to give Michigan a spark through the air – tough at times to do when your QB is lying on his back, or not getting the ball out early enough. |
|
DEFENSIVE HUSTLER |
JAKE RYAN – He’s still not 100% back physically, but he is emotionally and energetically. The D did get a turnover, but in this game they needed to score points – too much to ask for Saturday. |

SPECIAL TEAMS HUSTLER |
MATT WILE – Not a good sign when your punter has to kick the ball 25 times (ok, it was only 8 times, but it sure felt like 25). His 49-yard field goal gave Michigan their only lead of the day – WOO HOO! |

UNIFORM |
GOLD FLAKES – Maybe it was my foul mood caused by the score, but I didn’t like the way the yellow color looked on the U-M helmets in East Lansing. In low lighting or in Saturday’s case, the absence of sunshine, the gold flakes in the Michigan helmets gave off a decidedly dark yellow look – certainly not the bright yellow color they have given off on bright, sunny Saturdays in Ann Arbor. It’s obvious isn’t it? Michigan needs another set of helmets! One set to wear on bright sunny days and another set to wear in low light or night games. I mean, if Michigan is going to compete with the Oregon’s and Arizona States of the college football world, they gotta keep up! More helmets! Just no chrome, please! |

EDITOR’S PICK |
DEVIN GARDNER – He took a beating but kept getting up and kept fighting. His 98 jersey took a beating it hadn’t seen since 1940:
