Wolverine Wednesday: Notes from Practice this Week

• Denard on Monday: Scored 4 touchdowns: 2 running and 2 throwing. One of his tosses was a 78-yard touchdown pass to tight end Brandon Moore. On Tuesday he ran for 68 yards on a broken play.
  


• Drew Henson stopped by practice on Monday and Tuesday. He has a year left right? No on Jason Forcier - maybe a Yes on Drew? :)
  


• On Monday James Rodgers caught 2 touchdowns including one 58 yard bomb from Tate Forcier.

• Vlad Emilien picked off Tate
  


• Sheridan also hit TE Web for a 48 yard touchdown. (I hope all these long balls are a good sign for the offense and not a reflection of the defense)
  


• Tuesday, Kevin Grady ran for a 48 yard gain when the offense was backed up at the 2 yard line.
  


• Michigan worked on a overtime drill Tuesday where Shaw scored on a run and Sheridan hit Greg Matthews for another score.
  


• Also during the OT drill Tate hit senior WR LaTerryal Savoy on a WR screen that went 25 yards for another score.

Random Michigan Thoughts:

• There has been a lot of buzz around Savoy being a starter this year. Which would be somewhat of a surprise since he hasn't seen much action at all during his Wolverine career.


• Seems the offense maybe ahead of the defense at this point? It seems the D is giving up a ton of big plays.


• Michigan has a ton of running backs. I hope we see some triple option this year.


• Is Denard making a "run" for the starting job? I know he is behind Tate in knowing the offense but his speed and athleticism maybe hard to keep off the field.


• Teric Jones seems to be doing well in his move to CB and had a pass break up on Tuesday.
