UM in 'disbelief' after upset loss to Rockets

ANN ARBOR - You think you can't believe it?

Trust that Michigan's players and coaches are just as stunned, if not more so, that they lost 13-10 to Toledo last weekend.

"I felt, yeah, disbelief," Wolverines senior defensive end Tim Jamison said. "I didn't see it coming. We as a team didn't see it coming."

Rather than dissect Saturday's disaster or watch other football games on TV, Jamison said he fell asleep at 7 p.m. that night. When he awoke, awaiting him were the challenges of accepting UM's first-ever loss to a Mid-American Conference opponent and preparing to play at No. 3 Penn State this week.

Rockets fans won't like this, but the upset UT pulled is being likened to Appalachian State's victory at Michigan Sta-dium last season.

"We talked about it a lot," Jamison said. "Some of the players were making comments like 'Appalachian State, at least they won three national championships in their division.' It hurt [losing to UT], but a loss is a loss."
