‘M’ readying to visit ‘Roar Zone’

The thing about walking 

into Pegula Ice Arena is that 
even when it’s empty, it’s 
intimidating. 

And that’s not necessarily 

because of its looks — at just 
four years old, it’s full of 
bright lights and shiny floors. 
The part that is intimidating is 
the bowl — steep and crowded 
around the rink — making it 
anxiety-inducing 
for 
those 

who might not like heights. 
And that’s just before the 
game starts.

For 10 of the 11 freshmen 

on 
the 
No. 
20 
Michigan 

hockey team, Thursday and 
Friday’s games will be their 
first time playing in No. 
7 Penn State’s arena. And 
with the student section — 
nicknamed the “Roar Zone” 
— situated directly behind the 
goaltender’s net on one end of 
the rink, this could prove to be 
a bit of an eye-opener.

“It’ll be my fourth year 

playing here, and I’d say it’s 
definitely one of my favorite 
rinks to go to,” said senior 
defenseman Nolan De Jong. 
“It’s obviously very new and 
the facilities are nice, but 
I think the atmosphere is 
the best part about it. When 
tomorrow comes around, I 
think their student section 
is going to give us a hard 
time, which I like. One of 
the reasons you play college 
hockey is to have that kind of 
atmosphere in the rink.

“I think it’s going to be fun 

for the freshman. We told 
them it’s not going to be an 
easy rink to play in, but it’s 
going to be one you’re excited 
to play in. We just have to 
make sure we’re ready to go.”

The Wolverines, who boast 

a 6-5-1 overall record, will 
be kicking off Big Ten play in 
this arena against the Nittany 
Lions, who have garnered 
an 11-1-1 record. So far this 
season, Penn State’s lethal 

offense has almost doubled 
Michigan’s goal total (62-33) 
and has scored more than 
anyone else in the nation. On 
average, the Nittany Lions 
score 4.77 goals per game. 
They have also taken twice as 
many shots as the Wolverines, 
with 
618 
compared 
to 

Michigan’s 304.

Senior David Goodwin has 

made history for the Nittany 
Lions as one of 12 active 
players in the nation to reach 
100 career points, with 103. 
Freshman Denis Smirnov is 
also an offensive powerhouse, 
averaging 
1.60 
points 
per 

game so far during his career.

“They’re going to do the 

same thing they’ve done the 
last four years, I think,” De 
Jong said. “They’re going to 
put a lot of pucks on the net, 
they’re going to put a lot of 
bodies on our defense. They’re 
more 
of 
a 
skilled 
group, 

they’re better with the puck 
than they were last year. We 
definitely can’t have as many 
breakdowns as we have had 
in the last few games, because 
they’ll make you pay.”

The Nittany Lions have 

scored 
more 
goals, 
taken 

more shots and tallied more 
assists. It’s no doubt the 
Wolverines will face an uphill 
battle — but they also have 
higher percentages in penalty 
kills and power plays, and 
they have allowed the same 
number of goals as Penn State, 
with 26. Michigan will need 
to focus on defense and play 
to its strengths if it wants to 
do well against the Nittany 
Lions.

“We’ve had some drills we 

think are going to be helpful, 
but still when you get in the 
game, you’ve got to be able 
to play the game the right 
way,” said Michigan coach 
Red Berenson. “That’s our 
job between now and then, is 
just get ready to think about 
the game, think about what’s 
going to happen and then be 
ready for it.”

Butt wins Big Ten’s best tight end award

To cap off the Michigan 

football team’s best regular 
season 
since 
2011, 
the 

Wolverines brought home their 
most All-Big Ten awards in 
recent memory, with 10 more 
players 
earning 
honors 
on 

Wednesday night to bring the 
team total to 22.

A night after Michigan’s 

entire starting defense earned 
at least honorable mentions and 
fifth-year senior Kenny Allen 
was the second-team punter, 
almost every starter on offense 
also made the awards list. The 
only one who did not receive 
a mention was redshirt junior 
fullback Khalid Hill — the Big 
Ten does not list fullbacks on 
its all-conference teams.

For 
the 
second 
straight 

year, senior Jake Butt was the 
offensive headliner, repeating 
as the Kwalick-Clark Tight End 
of the Year. Butt’s numbers took 
a step back this season, from 
51 catches to 43 and from 654 
yards to 518. Still, he remained 
one of the Wolverines’ best 
offensive threats, a matchup 
problem for opposing defenses 
and a go-to option in third-and-
short situations.

After forgoing the NFL Draft 

last year and returning for his 
senior season, Butt broke the 
Michigan records for career 
receiving yards and receptions 
by a tight end. He’ll be one of 
the top prospects at his position 
heading into the draft.

All 
around 
Butt, 
the 

Wolverines’ offense flourished 
in its second season under coach 
Jim 
Harbaugh, 
coordinator 

Tim Drevno and passing game 
coordinator Jedd Fisch. The 
entire offensive line received 
mention, led by fifth-year senior 
right tackle Erik Magnuson on 
the first team. Junior center 
Mason Cole, fifth-year senior 

right guard Kyle Kalis and 
versatile fifth-year senior Ben 
Braden followed on the second 
team. Even true freshman Ben 
Bredeson, who just started the 
last six games of the season, 
earned a third-team honor.

The most improved player 

on Michigan’s offense, though, 
was 
redshirt 
sophomore 

quarterback Wilton Speight, 
who 
punctuated 
his 
first 

season as a starter by making 
the third team. He finished 
with a completion rate of 62.5 
percent, 17 touchdowns and 
just six interceptions, putting 
him third in the conference in 
pass efficiency.

A shoulder injury suffered on 

Nov. 12 at Iowa hampered those 
numbers, but Speight was one 
of the Wolverines’ best leaders 
all season. He stepped into the 
starting job after redshirting in 
2014, backing up Jake Rudock 
in 2015 and taking almost no 
meaningful snaps entering this 
year. 

He spoke on several occasions 

this fall about how much he 
has grown in that time, and 
he’ll now be Michigan’s most 
productive player returning for 
2017.

Fifth-year senior wideout 

Amara Darboh also made a 
big jump, becoming Speight’s 
main target and totaling a 
career-high 
826 
receiving 

yards, fourth in the Big Ten. 
He overtook fellow fifth-year 
senior Jehu Chesson for the title 
of top receiver, though Chesson 
earned honorable mention from 
the media after catching 31 
passes for 469 yards.

In all, Michigan had 10 

players recognized on offense 
and 11 on defense, equaled only 
by Wisconsin’s 11 on defense. 
Ohio State, though it only had 
nine honorees on offense and 
10 on defense, boasts four 
players on each of the first 
teams to Michigan’s two. The 
Buckeyes’ J.T. Barrett is the 
Quarterback of the Year, and 
running 
back 
Mike 
Weber 

is the freshman of the year. 

Elsewhere in the Big Ten East, 
Penn State quarterback Trace 
McSorley beat out Speight for 
the 
second-team 
spot, 
and 

running back Saquon Barkley 
was the conference’s Offensive 
Player of the Year.

Michigan 
running 
back 

De’Veon 
Smith 
earned 

honorable 
mention 
for 
the 

second straight year as a senior. 
He led a rushing attack that 
finished second in the Big Ten 
with 223.3 yards per game, 
while the overall offense also 
ranked second behind Ohio 
State in yards and touchdowns. 
The Wolverines have not done 
that well in both categories 
since 2003.
