Went back to watch the CSU game and just focused on the lines.
I think too much has been made of the 118 rushing yards by CSU. In the entire first half, if you take away the final play of tbe half for 12 yards when Texas was just in deep prevent, CSU gained a total of 61 yards. We did not give up much on the ground at all.
I couldn't find a yardage breakdown by quarter for rushing/passing, but almost all of their rushing yardage was after the game was over and the bench was in. After Texas scored the last TD at the beginning of the 4th CSU just started running almost every play to get out and gained 62 yds in the 4th quarter, probably at least 40 of them rushing.
The D line got some penetration at times but was mostly very good at standing ground and allowing the linebackers to fly to the ball clean.
On the other side the offensive line played well but had a few issues with overloads and stunts/twists. That could be an issue Saturday.
After watching the game again I feel Michigan could have some real trouble with Sark's 2 back sets with Blue and Wisner. He really only used it for 1 drive but CSU had no answer to the speed and versatility combo of both of those guys. I doubt Michigan would either, especially if they aren't used to seeing it with that kind of speed in the big 10. That's some spice that if mixed in well could break open some drives provided the line just gives a crease in run blocking and stalemates the interior D in pass blocking.
