Michigan 27, Vanderbilit 7

Michigan beat Vanderbilt 27-7 earlier today. I walked to and from the game for the first time (I usually have to take a cab b/c of my knee) so that was really exciting! To be honest, we didn’t look too hot today - fumbles, blocked field goal, sloppy plays, etc. Vandy certainly had a very nice trick play that earned them their single touchdown.

MGoBlog should have a game review sometime this weekend, but you can read their readers’ game day comments here.

I’ll update this post with more links to game recaps and articles.

Update #1: Detroit Free Press (via the Associated Press) talks about Mike Hart running 146 yards for the victory.

Update #2: Detroit News article by Terry Foster.

Update #3: Michigan Sports Center has a detailed review of the game looking at both the offensive and the defensive performances.

As expected, Michigan got the win over Vanderbilt, and although it may have been a little harder than first hoped, a win is a win. There were many positives to take out of this game, and maybe a few negatives depending on how you want to look at things. One thing I’m changing from last season is to look more at the positives. The post-game show on the radio reminded me of the Northern Illinois game from one year ago. U-M got the win, but the defense didn’t look that good. U-M got the win in this game, but the passing game could’ve been better. Instead of worrying about how the passing game wasn’t great, I’ll briefly talk about where there can be room for improvement.
