3/4
Denards

Think about Michigan football games like a tennis
match: the Wolverine offense has to hold serve and
assume the defense will allow a touchdown or a field
goal on every drive. The offense played well (31 points,
423 yards), but its serve was broken too many times.

ROD-O-METER
1/ At the press conference after the game on Saturday,
Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez acted like you'd expect
4 after a loss like the one his team suffered: disappointed,
Rich Rods sad, but mostly frustrated. In fact, the coach said the
word "frustrated" six separate times in eight minutes.

HYPE-0-METER

The Happy Valley crowd was early and loud Saturday,
4with students outside the gates six hours before the eight
Big Houses o'clock game. Deemed a "white-out," the only time the
sea of white was remotely quiet was during Michigan's
brief comeback at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

THE MICHIGAN DAILY TOP 10 POLL
Each week, Daily sports staffers fill out ballots, with first place votes receiving 10
points, second-place votes receiving nine, and so on.

On 3rd and 10, with under two minutes remaining in the first half and
the ball on the 20-yard line, Michigan blitzed its front seven on a Penn
State pass play. Senior wide receiver Graham Zug lined up in the slot
and ran a route to the front of the endzone in front of Michigan safety
Ray Vinopal, who was making his first career start. Nittany Lions quar-
terback Matt McGloin hit Zug for the touchdown to put Penn State up
28-10 with 1:02 remaining in the first half. The Nittany Lions converted
10-of-16 third downs.
