Our entire defense stepped it up today, but Ashton was just amazing. How he had the ability to stick with Braylon Edwards, which is one of the best in the NCAA, was beyond me.

the visions of #1 sitting by himself on the bench for most of the second half told the story.....he gave up....yobouty reached in...pulled his jock out and handed it back to him....edwards gave up....he was beaten.....

T don't recall this moment from todays game - but, it is a very good rendition of Eddie's world as the game wore on:

Youboty is awesome, what a year he has had! I wonder who's going to start at the other CB spot.. It should probably be an open competition with Underwood's struggles. Maybe O'Neal or Jenkins will step in and take it as true froshes.

Youboty plays the ball so well. He always finds the deep pass well in advance and times his jumps perfectly. Great anticipation to jump in front of passes all year. Assuming Teddy G starts at the other corner, WR's are going to have fits getting the ball.

His INT was a thing of beauty. It was not an easy ball to catch. It was a rope from Henne who was only about ten yards away.
The DB's coach had to be very, very proud of that whole unit today. Not only did they cover and tackle well, but they also dished out some hard shots. Was it Salley or TE that wiped out the scUM lineman running down the field? Damn! What a blow! He gave up a 100 lbs. to him and completely wiped him out. |

Salley and Youboty stepped it up big time. Whitner, after his injuries...came back huge too. This secondary is reminding me of the mid 90s with Springs, Plummer, Winfield...etc.

I'm glad the rest of the secondary played so well, because Dustin Fox played like [censored] (and I'm one of his biggest supporters).

Youboty is very very good, but he's not Shawn Springs/Anoine Winfield just yet. Can he be? I hope so. I was surprised to see that Edwards had 11 Rec for 172 and a TD. Of course, it wasn't Youboty v. Edwards 1 on 1 all game long either. As I said to a buddy of mine in response to his remark that Edwards is "phenominal" based on Michigan's comback against MSU - I said, yeah, maybe, but it could be that Jaren Hayes just sucks. Ashton won these jump ball type plays - which appears to be something of a bread and butter for Michigan. I wonder, if Henne throws the big air passes next season, shorts them as badly as he does now, and doesn't have Edwards out there to catch them? I think that will be problematic. In any case, I think Ashton made a name for himself yesterday, and will carry on the tradition of great CBs at OSU... I mean think of it...
Shawn Springs Ty Howard Antoine Winfield Ahmed Plummer Dustin Fox Chris Gamble seems like I'm forgetting some guys... But that's a pretty impressive list of CBs from just the last 8 years or so. |

He got beat on the deep ball to Edwards - but it looked as if he were expecting help from the safety on top (Whitner I think) - but it never came. I know he was coming off a groin injury too - never know how that was affecting him. |

Was anyone else thinking "Bye Bye Hesiman Trophy" when Braylon turned upfield and forgot to catch the ball?
I think if Michigan had won today he would have been on of the favorites |
