MICH - 16, WIS - 28- Michigan ran into the same problem this week as they have this entire season, their offensive live. The line was not doing their job and allowed Forcier and Robinson to be sacked a total of 4 times.
"Our O-Line needs to step it up or changes are going to be made, we can't generate offense if we can't even hold the ball for longer than 2 seconds and keep getting pressured like that."
The pressure on the QB was enough for Wisconsin to come out on top with a 26-18 win.

After trying to persuade him, Terrelle Pryor has told the Ohio State Buckeyes that he will be going pro this off season
After winning the Fiesta Bowl, the Buckeyes had one thing, and one thing only on their mind. Will Terrelle Pryor be going to the NFL after this season. The answer has come in today, and it was the one Buckeye fans dreaded.
Terelle Pryor has announced he will be hiring an agent, and will be going to the NFL Draft. The Buckeye fans, for the majority, thought the Junior QB would be coming back for one final season, but unfortunately, he will not be.
This means one of the incoming recruits will most likely get the job. The Buckeyes have three options:
Jason Brooks (5 star recruit, balanced QB style)
Jeffery Joeseph (4 star recruit, balanced QB style)
Bryan Morris (4 star recruit, scrambling QB stlye)
Most likely, Jason Brooks will get the spot. Next after him, would be Bryan Morris. The Buckeyes seem to work well with a scrambling QB. One things for sure here though. The Buckeyes will be a lesser team because of Pryor's absence next season.
South Bend IND- Micheal Floyds initial decision was to go pro but after the coaches of ND sat down with the youn star they persuaded him to stay 1 more year. "This is huge news for us. He was a big player for us last year and will be even better next season." Coach Follman Said after the news. Robert Blanton the Thorpe Winner has decided to fo to the NFL
Forcier will have his right hand man behind him once again this season as Coach Crimsion was able to persuade QB, Denard Robinson to stay put in Michigan instead of transferring to another school.
"I'm glad that we brought him back, though we did acquire another QB during our recruiting process we need both Forcier and Robinson to show this kid the ropes and prepare him for a role that he could potentially step into next year in a few years."
Robinson will not start over Forcier, but may see more snaps this season as Coach Crimsion plans to use Denard more often
After finishing the season with a 4-8 record Coach Crimsion and the Michigan Wolverines had some catching up to do in order for them to be one of the top dogs in the big-10.
By bringing back QB, Denard Robinson the Michigan Wolverines received a face lift as well as giving the starting role to HB, Vincent Smith. Athlete recruit, Kurt Morrison and Coach Crimsion have come to terms that state that Morrison will be playing HB for this season. Morrison may not see much time on the field with Smith and Shaw in front of him along with Cox, but Morrison could help the Wolverines on special teams this season.
Crimsion and the Wolverines will have to work on gathering receivers this season as most of their receiving core, if not all may be leaving the team due to graduation or entering the NFL Draft. The Wolverines will also have to beef up their defense as they struggled to work on the defensive end of the ball last season. With CB, Justin Turner coming off an injury Coach Crimsion is hoping that Turner will be able to give them a defensive edge. Recruit, Matt Jennings will be sharing the backfield with Turner and Floyd, Michigan Fans are hoping that Jennings can become an elite CB.
Coming in ranked at #51 the Wolverines are expected to do bigger things this time around.
CHAD0034's Ohio State Buckeyes 2011-2012 Season Preview
Ohio State fans still have a reason to be excited, even without Terrelle Pryor suited up in Ohio State gear. Newcoming quarterback (JUCO) Bryan Morris (81 OVR) has been announced as the starting quarterback for the 2011-2012 season, leaving (JUCO) Jason Brooks (80 OVR) with a red shirt.
Dan Herron (97 OVR) will have the starting running back role for the season, with Jaamal Berry (89 OVR) as the backup running back. The Buckeyes also have a freshman and sophmore behind Berry.
The wide recievers role should be interesting this season. DeVier Posey (98 OVR) stands atop the depth chart easily, with a flock of underclassmen behind him. Posey, a senior, is the only upperclassmen on the WR depth chart. He has a thing to teach the rest of the guys.
Ohio State is without Terrelle Pryor, but still features a great team
Defensively, the Buckeyes seem as if they will have slightly upgraded. The Buckeyes have always been a good defensive team. Andrew Sweat and Etienne Sabino are the strong side on the linebacker side of the ball.
The Buckeyes have arguably the best defensive line in the nation, featuring guys like John Simon (95 OVR), Nathan Williams (98 OVR), and Solomon Thomas (93 OVR). The only weak spot on defense seems to be the cornerback role, as the Buckeyes safeties are good as well.
South Bend IND- Well Domers football is back in South Bend. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish come into the season ranked #19 and feel they can make a BCS bowl. With the highly anticipated return of Micheal Floyd at WR and 2nd year coach Eric Follman at the helm Irish fans are expecting alot from the Irish this year.
Led by Junior QB Dayne Crist the Irish will be a force on Offense. The loss of Armando Allen hurts and with that loss they brought one of thier former WR's Theo Riddick to be the starting RB in 2011.
On the Defensive side of the ball the loss of Robert Blanton the Thorpe winner will also be a tough loss but they are also moving FS Jamoris Slaughter to CB.
Notre Dame has an easier schedule this year but it doesent start out easy vs #17 USC. Big things are expected from ND this year and hopes are of a BCS bid.
The "Chase For the Championship" online dynasty announce that member LC AAU will take over Purdue for season two and on. He is very excited to join the franchise, as it will bring another member that knows what he's doing to the table.
