Takeaways

Western Michigan Ran 67 Plays And Never Reached The End Zone

Michigan beat Western Michigan 13-12 at Michigan Stadium on a play that exists because a replay review put one second back on the clock, a decision the Big Ten defended in a statement and NBC's rules analyst questioned on air. The Broncos ran 67 plays from scrimmage, held the ball for 40:08, converted 8 of 18 third downs and scored on four Dieter Kelly field goals without once reaching the end zone. Michigan's offense produced two touchdown drives, its first and its last, and six punts, an interception and a lost fumble in between. Dom Nichols and Troy Bowles set career highs in their first career starts. JJ Buchanan caught six passes for 126 of Michigan's 170 passing yards.

Michigan's 4 Captains Are February's 4 Captains. The 12 Names Underneath Them Are Not

Michigan announced 4 captains and a 12-man leadership council on Monday night, and its February release had already announced 4 spring captains and an 11-man spring council with a note that the real vote would come in fall camp. The captains are identical. The council moved by 5 names: linebacker Troy Bowles, receiver JJ Buchanan and defensive end John Henry Daley came on, safety Mason Curtis and tight end Zack Marshall came off. With 18 days to Western Michigan, the tight ends went from 1 name to 0 of 8, the linebackers went from 0 to 1 of 14, and the 10 specialists have now been passed over twice.
