Title: Dear Al Post by: ALTideUp on August 24, 2012, 01:35:52 PM Is Michigan for real? It's up to Robinson to show us against Alabama (http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/story/19887295/is-michigan-for-real-its-up-to-robinson-to-show-us-against-alabama) Quote Al Borges has been around more than a quarter century shaping quarterbacks. A West Coast guy most of his career (Portland State, Boise State, Oregon, UCLA, Cal, San Diego State), Borges has groomed primarily stand-up, drop-back types. It's safe to say the current reshaping of Robinson is one of the biggest challenges of his career. "We don't want him hit," Borges said, summarizing the makeover. "It's disconcerting when that much of your offense runs through one player. You want him to be the centerpiece but to point that much onus on one kid is an accident waiting to happen." He's going to be hit, and it won't be an accident. Title: Re: Dear Al Post by: 2Stater on August 24, 2012, 03:18:33 PM Is Michigan for real?

Title: Re: Dear Al Post by: Catch Prothro on August 24, 2012, 03:19:05 PM In the Michigan games from last year that I watched, Robinson is not a great passer. He chunks the ball up and hopes his receiver can out jump the defense. I think Bama uses its Tebow defense, contain Robinson and make him throw. If we can do that, it will be a long night for the Blue.
