THE QUICK BREAKDOWN
M A IZE GAU GE The Michigan Daily football writers break down the weekend's stats that don't show up in the box score. The Mesk-o-Meter measures the success of special teams, 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.
MESK-O-METER ROD-O-METER HYPE-0-METER
Mesko averaged just 37.3 yards per punt and was outkicked These losses seem to be getting to the ol' ball coach. The student section wasn't even filled for one of the Illini's
by his Illinois counterpart. Hemingway fumbled a punt return, Rich Rod was listless after the Illinois game, shedding biggest games. Need we say more? Though we were
and Stonum didn't get much on kickoffs. The one positive: his usual feisty self for a downtrodden version of him- simpressed by the amount of "It's Always Sunny" orange-
Graham blocking a punt for the second straight game. Rich Rods self in the postgame presser. We're nota fan of that.B| men, very few in the crowd were wearing costumes.

CLF REEDER/Uai
LINEBACKER KEVIN LEACH
The former walk-on started in place of
struggling redshirt junior Obi Ezeh, who
has started 30 of 33 games in his career.
But Leach played decently as the starter,
notching 11 tackles and a third-down sack.

WIDE RECEIVER ROUNDTREE
Roundtree has come up with some big
catches in his short Michigan career, but
this season, he may be remembered for
coming up a yard short on a potential
game-changing touchdown reception.

THE MICHIGAN DAILY TOP 10 POLL
The Michigan Daily Top 10 returns for its ninth installment this season. Each week, Daily
Sports staffers will fill out ballots, with first place votes receiving 10 points, second-place votes
receiving nine, and so on. The results are published with first-place votes in parentheses.

1. Florida (7): Tim Tebow,
now has the most rushing
touchdowns ever in SEC
history. Yeah, he sucks.

2. Alabama: Unlike the
AP poll, we won't penalize
the Crimson Tide for
having a bye week.
3. Texas (4): Mack Brown
still has never lost to
Oklahoma State, thanks to
McCoy's 100th career TD.
4. Boise State: The Broncos
remain a favorite in our poll,
but it looks like TCU might
edge them out for a BCS bid.
5. Cincinnati: Even the
Bearcats' backup QB can
throw for four touchdowns
in an easy win. Yeesh.

6. Oregon: Pete Carroll had
never given up more than 43
points at USC - until he faced
Oregon. Hello, Rose Bowl.
7. Iowa: Does "Stanzi and
Hyde" or "Jekyll and Stanzi"
sound better? Or maybe
"Stanzi being Stanzi."
8. TCU: The Horned Frogs
are rolling and they still can't
fill the stands...and Texas
still has warm weather.
9. Penn State: Three
touchdowns in four minutes
in the final quarter will
usually do the trick.
10. LSU: The Tigers haven't
lost to Tulane in 17 years, but
this was their first shutout of
the Green Wave since 1969.

NOTABLE QUOTABLE
I don't want to say it's slipping away,
but we're not getting wins that we
should, and we're just playing for
pride now."
