The Day Of Rest

For the first time this Big Ten season, Michigan fans could sit back and take it easy. Even though Indiana scored right off the bat on an unlikely touchdown, it was all Michigan from then on. In one of the most dominating halves we've ever played, the Wolverines went into the lockers leading 41-7. Player of the game Steve Breaston got 201 all-purpose yards in those first two quarters alone.

Michigan is not a team to pile on, however, and the second string played out the second half, where Indiana actually outscored Michigan 7-0. 41-14 is good enough for us.

After a season of stomach-churners, it was fun to be able to leave our fingernails alone. It's hard to believe that a little over a month ago, this team was 3-3 with a tricky schedule ahead. Now we're 7-3 with only a tough OSU in our way to a top bowl game. But that's another story.
