MAIZE GAUGE
The Michigan Daily football writers break down the weekend's stats that don't show up in the box score. The Defense-o-Meter measures the intensity of the defense, the Rod-o-Meter
judges how emotional (positive or negative) Rich Rodriguez was following the game and the Hype-o-Meter measures the fans' performance.

DEFENSE-O-METER
2 We're filling in the last two Obis because the defense
only decided to show up in the second half. With all its
4 preseason hype, the Wolverine defense has no excuse
Obis for its first-half lethargy. But they tried to make up for
it after the break by only allowing three points.

ROD-O-METER
Rodriguez didn't treat the media to any of his funny and some-
times shocking Rich Rod-isms after Saturday's loss, and most
of his answers were bland. He wasn't too upset about the
Rich Rods game, buthe wasn't smiling, either. Unlike him, we don't have
to watch the film to remember it was a dull press conference.

HYPE-0-METER
The student section was in rare form - Michigan Stadium was
full and rowdy half an hour before kickoff, matching only the
4 Ohio State game in terms of early arrivers last year. Overheated
Big Houses fans started leaving at halftime, but those who stayed redeemed
themselves when Michigan pulled within two points late.

THE MICHIGAN DAILY TOP 10 POLL

ASSOIATE PRSPL

6. MISSOURI: A win overlIllinois proves the Tigers
aren't a one-year wonder -unlessthe Fighting
Illini were. But Missouri shouldn'texpect Illinois to
returnto St. Louis any time soon after two straight
beatings.

1. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA(3): The Trojans have
balls - they're the only team in the top 10 to play
a true road game. The win is especially impressive
because they lost their mascot, Snoop Dogg, to
Louisiana State.

8. AUBURN: It must suck to be only the third
best Tigers in the country. And how does it feel
knowingcthatcAlabama won'tcbe a copcake on
the schedule anymore?

3.OHIO STATE (2): Youngstown State went on
probation after Ohio State coach Jim Tressel
left for the Buckeyes. And the way the Penguins
laid down Saturday, it lookslikethey're still on
Tressel's payroll.

9. TEXAS: It's getting tough to write something
about all these blowouts.
