This game, McCarthy looked like a freshman. This game, the defensive line faced an offensive line of quality. And this game, Michigan faced a team with real talent at most positions. But what I liked most about this game was that it didn’t look like McCarthy would fold, it didn’t look like the defensive line would let Maryland’s O-line manhandle it, and it didn’t look like the team would collapse in the face of its first real test this season. None of that happened.
However, as great a player as Woodson was, he should know better than to advise McCarthy to run more—at least not before McNamara is cleared to return to play! Harbaugh should remind Woodson of the 1984 season.
For sure, Brian! What I also liked best about this game was the determination Michigan showed to win it with the outcome on the line. We were recalling yesterday in the press box that Harbaugh was going after a Jamie Morris lost fumble when he broke his arm in '84.
