Big Ten Conference Preview


No team, and no coaches' reputation has fallen off the face of the earth more than Michigan and Rich Rodriguez. Rodriguez left West Virgnia to go to his "Dream Job". None the less, his first year has already gotten off on the wrong foot (Tyrell Pryor spurned michigan for the Rival, Ryan Mallett left and a key O-Lineman transfers to Ohio St.). Good Luck fans of the Maize and Blue, you are rewarded with playing Ohio St. in Columbus, Purdue and Illinois all this year.
5 Best Players
James Laurinatis (Ohio St.)
Chris Wells (Ohio St.)
Juice Williams (Illinois)
Brian Robiskie (Ohio St.)
P.J. Hill (Wisconsin)
3 Players to pay attention to
Curtis Painter (Purdue)
Tyrell Pryor (Ohio St.)
Brian Hoyer (Michigan St.)
Coach on the hot seat
Kirk Ferentz (Iowa)
3 Games to Watch in 08-09
Michigan at Notre Dame (Sept. 13)
This is an early season test for Michigan and could give an indication on how the season will go
Ohio St. at Illinois (Nov. 15)
The Fighting Illini pulled off a shocker in 07, they actually have a better shot to repeat that again
Michigan at Ohio St.
If Rodriguez wins in Columbus versus Sen. Jim Tressell, all of Ann Arbor Will for get the past 11 games
