A few observations from being in the stands yesterday"

-Vince Smith got alot of reps (which where not on 3rd down) with the 1st string O
-AJ Williams is not fast...I saw him go out on a pass route, and he is limited in that aspect with speed
-Mattison was mixing up the Defense personnel....he had alot of LB combinations (probably due to the score as well), and I noticed several formations where we had 2 LB playing WDE (Gordon and Ryan as I recall).

Thanks for the thoughts Awink! Vincent Smith did have two touchdowns but only rushed for 20 yards. Michigan needs more out of him. Ondre Pipkins already looks like he has gotten a little better. What were your thoughts on Bellomy although he didn't have many pass plays?

Still think the game is a little too fast for him right now. If Morris redshirts next year I will be nervous

We dont need Williams to be fast. He isnt going to stretch the defense. Best case scenario, Pettigrew with better hands.

Expect Morris to redshirt.

He is not ready.

Bellomy has this season, next spring training, summer workouts, and next fall camp to improve under College coaches. Morris only has fall camp.

for sure, Williams will be used as a blocker and safety blanket that runs 5-10 yard outs, Funchess will be the big downfield threat from the TE position.

Bellomy is a gamer, I think he will be a solid manager with more experience, and he surprised me with his athleticism. I think he should be the starting QB next year, and it will be better for the program long term in truly having that transition, which will trickle down to the Hoke recruits which is much needed
