Defense Wins Games

Michigan's defense won them today's game against the 24th ranked Iowa Hawkeyes. The 18th ranked Wolverines forced 5 turnovers that lead to 27 points on route to their 30-17 victory at the Big House.

Braylon Edwards lead the Wolverine's offense. He caught 6 catches for 150 yards. One of those catches went for a touchdown and on another went all the way to the one yard line. Edwards is now second on Michigan's all time receiving list. He is just 365 yards shy of being Michigan's all time leading receiver(Anthony Carter is number one).

Chad Henne had another good game. He threw for 236 yards(16-26 passing) and 2 touchdowns(one rushing and one passing). Another good stat he put up was zero interceptions. He looks to be the quarterback for the next 4 years at Michigan. So far, he hasn't disapointed.

Mike Hart had another good game rushing as well. He ran for 99 yards on 26 carries and one touchdown.

Grant Mason and Leon Hall both picked off passes for Michigan. Hall also recovered a fumble.

It looks like this young Michigan team is starting to gel. Head Coach Lloyd said they played with great intensity. Coming into this game, Michigan was ranked first in the nation with 14 takeaways and they should stay on top after getting another 5 today. This was a great way to start off their defense of the Big Ten title.
