Michigan, coming off a huge win
against Notre Dame under the lights at Michigan Stadium, will play host to the
Akron Zips Saturday at Noon. Michigan
will be looking to build off huge performances from Quarterback Devin Gardner (
372 total yards - 5 total touchdowns ) and receiver Jeremy Gallon ( 8
receptions - 184 yds - 3 touchdowns ). The Michigan offensive line more than held their
own against a tough Notre Dame front four with two potential first round picks
in Louis Nix III and Stephon Tuitt. No time for a let up with a tough trip to
the University of
Connecticut next week.
The biggest non conference game on the Big Ten slate has number twenty
three Nebraska
hosting number sixteen UCLA. Defense was a huge issue for the black shirts
giving up over 600 yards to Wyoming
in week one, but found a way to win 37-34. The Huskers bounced back nicely with
a 56-13 win over Southern Mississippi this
past weekend, and are looking for redemption after a close loss in the Rose
Bowl last year to the Bruins.
Michigan State,
with the best defense in the country, coupled with the worst offense in the
country, will host Youngstown
State this Saturday. This
will be the Spartans last chance to fine tune before a huge trip to South Bend next Saturday.
Michigan State's
defense has outscored their offense four touchdowns to three in victories over
Western Michigan and South Florida.
Saturdays showcase game will be in College
Station as Texas A&M will host the Alabama Crimson
Tide. Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel will try to make it two in a row
after a stunning upset in Tuscaloosa
last November. Nick Saban is 7-1 in rematch games while at Alabama. Quarterback AJ McCarron and TJ
Yeldon lead the way for the Alabama
offense with CJ Mosely and Hassan Cinton-Dix anchor the defense. Make no
mistake about it, Alabama
has every intention of redeeming themselves after last years loss at home.
These will be our showcase games at The Sports Bar Westside this Saturday, with
Notre Dame playing at Purdue at 8 o'clock as well. Always remember that
our 22 HD televisions are all individual and if your game is on, we would
be happy to put it on for you. So, come check us out, AND GO BLUE!!!!
