Yeah, sorry I didn't comment on the NCSU game... it was against Western Carolina, after all, which I believe is a high school team. It is somewhat concerning that the Wolfpack only managed 129 yards on the ground. Weeks 3 through 6 will be a challenge... I'll have something to say about those games, for sure.

I look forward all off-season to the most excellent Kato Analysis of the college gridiron. This latest one just raises the bar! Only thing missing was the customary mini-version for Wolfpack fans? What's the Pack's biggest challenge in the upcoming rematch vs UCF? Can we emerge from Orlando with a 2-0 record to take into a next Thursday night showdown with Cincinnati??

This is great, Ken! Must have taken a while to put together, but I hope you'll do more.

Michigan 30, UConn 10

This was a game that many expected UConn to win. UConn was supposed to be a contender to win the Big East this year, with many starters returning from last year's 8-5 squad, a team that beat South Carolina in a bowl game. But Michigan's spread offense came to life with the athleticism and new-found decision-making skills of Denard Robinson. Robinson set a Michigan record for rushing by a quarterback with 197 yards, and nearly tied a passing mark by completing 19 of 22 passes for 186 yards.

It was certainly an offensive show. After the jump, there's a breakdown of some of the offensive plays, and how they demonstrate the philosophy of Rich Rodriguez's offense.
