U-M tries to feel at homeWe're about to witness the first big test of Michigan's grand plan to revolutionize the Big Ten and drag it into the 21st century, where games supposedly are won by those that run the fastest, not by those that eat the most.
I know it's way too early to overreact to one game, even if it is the Big Ten debut of Rich Rodriguez, but overreacting is one of the few things I do well. So let's go!
On one side, you have lumbering Wisconsin, 3-0 and ranked ninth. On the other side sit the spry young Wolverines, 1-2 and wondering if they really stink. They spent the off week in quiet shame after needlessly helping Notre Dame feel good about itself. (Thank goodness Michigan State fixed that little problem.)
This is where it gets interesting for Rodriguez, who gets a chance to see if his fancy spread offense can outflank one of the conference's historic fatties. I'm not saying Wisconsin is a hefty, heaving team. I'm just saying its players regularly appear on the injury report with gastrointestinal distress.
