Throughout the season, MI has scored touchdowns on just over 67 percent of its red zone trips, so that fact isn’t that surprising by itself. That long ball broke open a 7-7 game and sparked a streak of 34 unanswered Wolverines points.

MI was equally impressive, ranking fourth in total defense and 11th in scoring defense, but the Wolverine defenders don’t feel like they are getting the same type of respect heading into the game. He’ll need to rely on quick passing, and the playmaking ability of wide receivers Amara Darboh and Jehu Chesson to get chunk yardage. The Wolverines are building through the defense and along the line of scrimmage, as Harbaugh routinely unleashes multiple tight ends and a fullback in an era where that simply isn’t done. The six-foot-six, 248 pound matchup nightmare has caught 48 passes for 620 yards and 3 touchdowns this season. DeVeon Smith ran for 111 yards, while Drake Johnson and Sione Houma chipped in touchdowns. But I know it is the last game I will be playing in a MI uniform.

MI made him pay immediately, too, turning the pick into a nine-play, 73-yard touchdown drive.

While Michigan’s stifling defensive performance was no surprise, one of the best defenses in America going up a Florida offense that failed to score much as the season wound down, the sensational performance of Rudock and the Michigan offense was unexpected going up against a Florida team that also boasted one of the country’s best defenses this season. “I love those kids in that (Michigan) locker room, obviously”.
