[NU Sports] I don't get it

[Roy Lamberton]

You saw the same game I did - Henne was supposed to sit out a "presumed laugher"
for the Wolves, but at the half, the decision was made to put him in and win the
game because UM was not going to have another ASU game on their 2007 record and
Henne showed he could move the ball.

In the second half, the Michigan team I saw on TV was the team that was
originally predicted to win the Big 10 - I think they can still do that if they
continue to play like they did in the 2nd half against us.

The keys to this game? - The UM o-line did a tremendous job picking up NU's
blitz packages, giving Henne time to pick the secondary apart. Their front 7 on
defense ground NU's O'line down, it took them 3 quarters, but by the fourth
quarter, the Cats never had time to get a play to develop. C.J. was not
comfortable at the end of the game - its like Michigan remembered all those
Cardiac Cat moments and determined that NU was not going to come back on them.
