I was thinking about the Buckeye offensive development, and what we should expect by the time The Game comes around. Anyways, the Henton issue is really disappointing for many reasons, but one reason is I was starting to look forward to a Buckeye backfield of Boeckman, Schoenhoft, and Henton on the field at the same time. Can you imagine how terrified a Michigan defense would be if they had to try to tackle 3 QB's??? Wow.

I don't think it'd be that bad. We wouldn't have to worry about pesky details like wide receivers any more :wink2: and lord knows the fewer of those on the field, the better the Michigan defense looks.

A couple of years ago the two-quarterback system beat us against Texas, I am happy when we solidify one and give the others trash-time. If one gets injured, I like having a backup with some time but I hate to have any QB trying too hard to earn the starting position, it just doesn't work.

Also, who knows what will happen with Henton, I highly doubt this is the type of thing to get him kicked off the team or his scholarship pulled, he wasn't going to be the starter this year, Boeckman has pretty much sealed that spot up, so odds are he sits for the year and gets a chance to try for the starting position next year.

Yeah, ttun has some serious questions at the corner position. After the NoD game my boss (Who's scUM Alum, actually all 3 of them are :() came up to me and leaned his head forward and said the magic words to me "I think Morgan Trent may be one of the "bright spots" in our defense this year. "

You can guess what my reaction was :biggrin:

It probably went a little something like.........:crazy::slappy:

Trent looks fantastic when all four linemen are simultaneously tackling Jimmy Clausen.....or when Anthony Morelli is overthrowing his receiver by eight feet. Sheesh, your boss could have at least said Brandon Graham or someone.

I don't remember for sure. I just don't remember seeing Trent in on anything during the Penn State game, it's like he spent the whole game invisible....Jamar Adams seemed like he was all over the field covering for everyone else.

Bottom line with Trent, IMO, is that he's not a bad CB but he's not a good one either.

Henne might be back for Michigan
Mallett has 2-0 record as starter


By MATT MARKEY
BLADE SPORTS WRITER


ANN ARBOR - Michigan coach Lloyd Carr has left open the possibility that senior quarterback Chad Henne could play this Saturday when the Wolverines travel to Northwestern. Henne has been sidelined since injuring his right knee in the first half of a 39-7 loss to Oregon in the second week of the season. "It's to a point now where the doctors, they really will leave it up to Chad, and how he feels," Carr said. "And then, of course, it will depend on what I see and what I think."

So, you could say they are hanging on Chad the go / no-go decision?

Ummmm... I was kidding about the 3 QB's. You see, it was a joke referencing Michigan's inability to tackle a running QB. Like Troy Smith, or Vince Young, or the ASU and Oregon dudes (I'm forgetting their names right now and don't feel like looking it up)... Ahhh, nevermind. HailtoM blew my joke out of the water with his own joke on the Michigan secondary, so just forget it. Dammit. I suck.
