‘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.
