[NU Sports] Big Ten today ...

[Michael Vance]

A guy who sits near me is an NU alum who is also a Michigan fan by 
marriage.  He was very firm (granted this was near the beginning of the 
season, but Michigan had already lost two in the Big House) that the 
Michigan faithful realize that Rodriguez doesn't have the personnel to 
run the offense that he was hired to implement.  He probably has two 
years on that front.  Where they are disappointed is the inconsistency 
from the defense.  They returned enough star power that they should be 
doing much better than they are.  I think they're suffering from some of 
the things that NUs defenses used to suffer from: having to spend too 
much time on the field too frequently because the offense can't move the 
ball consistently and coughs it up too much.
