[NU Sports] Michigan comment

[Roy Lamberton]

I'm sure all the teams in the Big 10 have tried to shut down the run and make
Baz beat them with his arm.

The question is if the front 4 of Iowa, dOSU and Illinois are up to that
challenge.

What I think I saw of Michigan's D was a tremendous rush by the front 4 with a
little LB help, but really just 4 guys coming hard. I guess they "spied" Sutton
with a LB, but just about every receiver had a Wolverine on him.

This week, the Iowa front 4 is not as good as Michigan's and they'll probably
have to devote a couple of LBs to covering Tyrell. That gives us an opening to
pass, and given the guys wear their "stick-em" we should be able to move at
will.

I've read a lot of the quotes from the Hawkeye's this week - they sound a lot
like Purdue.
