4B -- September 10, 2012 The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com THE QUICK BREAKDOWN I Z E G /\ c E The Michigan Daily football writers break down the weekend's stats that don't show up in the box score. The Denard-o-Meter measures the success of quarterback Denard Robinson, the Man-o-Meter judges Michigan's "Manball," how physically it played in the trenches, and the Hype-o-Meter measures the fans' performance. Is I' 0 DENARD-,-METER 4/ Denards Robinson accounted for 99 percent of the Michi- gan offense, not including kneels, and he became the first player in NCAA history to have three games of at least 200 yards rushing and passing. MAN-a-METER The defensive line couldn't stop a nose bleed, but the offensive line may have been worse. Aside from Rob- 44 inson, the Michigan backs rushed forjust seven yards. Hokes It's early, but we've seen enough to be concerned. HYPE-0-METER 2/4 How is the student section not full for the home opener? The wave wasn't even executed correctly - it got stuck on thefast portion, and the double Big Houses wave was non-existant. Step your game up. LOOKING GOOD FRESHMAN TIGHT END DEVIN FUNCHESS: Playing in the place of injured tight end Brandon Moore, Funchess had a historically dynamic breakout game. Funchess caught four passes, all for more than 20 yards, and finished with 106 yards and a touchdown. He became the first ever Michigan freshman tight end to record a 100- yard receiving game and the first tight end to receive 100 yards in a game since 1997. On his touchdown grab, he bailed out Robinson's underthrow by out-leaping the defensive back to win the ball. DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR GREG MATTISON: In two games, the Michigan defense has allowed 66 points. The Wolverines didn't allow that many points until week six last year. And the 25 points surrendered to Air Force would have been higher if not for a missed field goal and a failed fake field goal attempt. Air Force confounded the defense for much of Saturday., and dominated time of possession with an absurd 90 plays. Even though the Falcons are a run-heavy team, allowing 290 yards on the ground is never a good thing. p--- NOTABLE QUOTABLE "Jeremy, after we got off the field, he told me I ran ast him. e said need to slow down." - Senior quarterback Denard Robinson, relating the reaction of redshirtjunior receiver Jeremy Gallon to Robinson's 79- yard touchdown run.
