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-C-METER
Eleven yards allowed per third down? And this
unit was supposed to carry Michigan. The Wol-
4 verines almost stopped Javon Ringer. And they
Obis almost slowed Brian Hoyer. And they almost
wait, they didn't do much of anything.

ROD-C-METER
2/ After four straight losses, Rich Rod has been very terse
in postgame pressers. His answers have become very
4 short and sarcastic. Asked whether the non-offsides
Rich Rods call in the fourth quarter was a turning point, he asked
if the score changed. This shtick is getting old.

HYPE-C-METER
The Michigan fans were good. The Michigan State fans
4 were much better. It sounded like Spartan Stadium with
the "Go Green! Go White!" chants toward the end of
Big Houses the game. The Michigan fans' performance in the fourth
quarter was about as embarrassing as the team's.

NOTABLE QUOTABLE
"(Offensive coordinator Don) Treadwell
talked about it before the game. We need
to make a change. We need to make a
change in this-rivalry. We need to make
a change in this state. I think the state is
probably a little more green than it was
yesterday."
- Michigan State quarterback Brian Hoyer on the implications
of the Spartans' win Saturday over Michigan.

1. TEXAS (14): Oklahoma State coach Mike
Gundy catled the Longhorns the best Texas
team he has faced, even better than the Vince.
Young championship team. Just what Young
needs - someone else puttinghim down.

8. GEORGIA: After rushing for a touchdown,
Knowshon Moreno gestured to the LSU student
section as if he was answering a phone. LSU fans
got Moreno's number and left him messages
all week. What's Curtis Painter's number?

3. PENN STATE (2): Joe Paterno won in Columbus
for the first time since 1978. Thatwas Woody
Hayes' lastseason. Before thatngame, Hayes
closed his practices, tryingto catch thePenn State
off guard with a new type of spread offense.

5. TEXAS TECH: With Election Day approaching
and Saturday's game against Texas), start thinking
