6 - Friday, October 1, 2010 The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com Michigan defense to face prolific passing attack .1 By RYAN KARTJE Daily Sports Editor Through four weeks, the Michigan offense has been nothing short of extraor- dinary. Sophomore quarterback Denard Robinson and the rest of the Michigan offense has put up almost 563 yards per a game, good enough to Indiafa at be the No. 2 offense in Michigan the country. Mat But Indiana, the hdianap-0 Wolverines' opponent Michigan 4-0 this week, has been no slouch on offense this When: Satar season, either - the ay 3:30p.m. Hoosiers boast the No. Where: 11 pass attack in the Memorial nation and best by far Stadium in the Big Ten. TV/Radio: And with that tal- ESPNU ented offense, headed by experienced senior quarterback Ben Chappell, Michigan may have its hands full on defense. The Wol- verines have given up, on average, 400 yards per game so far. "We've got to do a good job defensively limiting the big plays, which we've strug- gled with at times and know that they can pitch and catch it at anytime," Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez said in a teleconfer- ence Wednesday. Chappell also has two of the league's standout receivers in Damarlo Belcher - statistically the top receiver in the Big Ten - and Tandon Doss, an explosive player who's used all over the field. "They're big guys," Rodriguez said. "They're very athletic, they can run. We've got a lot of young DBs ... soit's a con- cern, especially because they're throwing the ball so well." And with the Wolverines still strug- gling in the secondary, they may find themselves locked in a shootout. In a high-powered offensive game like Saturday's matchup is expected to be, the winner may just be the team that has the ball last. The Wolverines' spread option run attack is known for consistently run- ning the clock down, as they've only lost the time-of-possession battle in one game so far. Winning that battle could mean having the ultimate advantage over a team that's reliant on getting down the field through the air. For now though, stopping Chappell's aerial attack out of Indiana's pistol offense is at the forefront. Chappell's skills have forced Michigan to make several changes to their game plan to adapt. "If you blitz all the time and expose yourself to one-on-ones ... that's a dan- gerous combination," Rodriguez said. "I don't know if you can confuse (Chappell) because he is a veteran guy and they have a veteran staff ... They have ways of really protecting him in their offense." As for the pistol offense the Hoosiers employ - one-of-a-kind in the Big Ten - Rodriguez isn't concerned with its uniqueness. "It's a system, it's the same as any offense," Rodriguez said. "If they execute it well, they're goingto get their moments. They're goingto have plays where they get you." Robinson, who was deemed OK to play after suffering a minor injury last week, could play an even more prominent role in the run game as Michigan will play without running backs Michael Shaw and Fitzgerald Toussaint, leaving Robin- son, Vincent Smith, Stephen Hopkins and Mike Cox to carry the load in the team's running-by-committee system. Regardless of the matchups, the Wolver- ines are eager to move one step closer to proving that this year's 4-0 start is differ- ent than last year's, when they closed out the season losing seven out of eight games. And in a Big Ten opener, Rodriguez said that his team knows the importance of this week's matchup in terms of the rest of the season. Of course, the team's 3-13 record in-conference - with just a single Big Ten road win - should be motivation enough as the Wolverines head to Bloom- ington on Saturday. "It needs to crank up even another notch, going into Big Ten play," Rodriguez said. "They understand how important all of these Big Ten games are." Sophomore quarterback Denard Robinson leads the NCAA in rushing yards season. The Hoosiers have the second-worst rush defense in the Big Ten.
