MI and Florida attorney generals make wager on game
After splitting carries with Matt Jones most of last season, Taylor took over as Florida’s primary ball carrier this season and produced five 100-yard games and 13 rushing touchdowns.
“The University of MI will certainly prove to be victors over the Gators”, said Schuette. MI coach Jim Harbaugh said he loves coaching and doesn’t have a preference between the National Football League and college game, but a 10-win season in his first year at his alma mater would be enormous.
The job lasted less than a year.
Nussmeier knows how talented Michigan’s defense is after being on the Wolverines’ side last season.
The Gators are coming into the game as an underdog; these losses won’t help matters for head coach Jim McElwain and his staff.
And even if Nussmeier won’t admit it, there’s some extra motivation for him to solve the riddle that is Michigan’s stout defense. But it didn’t work out that way. The No. 14 Michigan Wolverines will battle the No. 19 Florida Gators in Orlando on New Year’s Day in the Citrus Bowl. Luckily you can still find places to play against the spread!
“Don’t need to really share that”, Harbaugh said. All of these missing bodies doesn’t really change what I think will happen.
The school did not reveal the reason for the suspensions, but a Gainesville Sun source said they were academically related. His favorite targets are; Jake Butt, the Big Ten Tight End of the Year, Jehu Chesson, Michigan’s team MVP, and Amara Darboh. There are kids from MI on Florida’s team. “It’s a great opportunity to play against people”.
MI interim defensive coordinator Greg Mattison reflects on his Florida past, getting to face a former colleague in Doug Nussmeier and more.
Nussmeier said he and Mattison stay in touch. “You look at the success of the defense, obviously he’s played a big role in that”. I know that he’s looking forward to seeing some of the guys who were there when he was there too. “Anytime – anytime you work every day with a guy, you know, in the same capacity and work together for an entire year – I have tremendous respect for him”.
“Going to bed at night, I’m just tossing and turning thinking about it sometimes”, he said Monday. He’s a great person and he’s a great coach And I’ve always thought the world of him. I think MI will be able to squeak this game out due to having the slightly better offense. Everywhere he’s been, he’s been successful. Exactly what you’d expect, what you’d hope to see. “Obviously, everybody knows kind of where we were at going into it. We’ve done some really good things”.
You can say the same for Florida. Obviously, the season didn’t go the way we wanted to. That’s football. If you’re around this business long enough, you see the ups and downs and ins and outs.
