Notes for Week 3

Heading into week three, Michigan stands at a very impressive 2-0. Ranked #25 in the AP poll, and #26 in the coaches...Michigan has surely been a bit of surprise the rest of the college football world...and to some of it's own fan base. Here's a look at what's making headlines around the program this week.

• This week's game will air live on the Big Ten Network at noon. In the booth will be Wayne Larrivee (play-by-play) & Chris Martin (analyst). Charissa Thompson will handle sideline reporting.

• WR Junior Hemingway, who sat out the Notre Dame game, will likely play this week as he has been practicing in with limited contact this week.

• OL David Moosman will likely sit out the next couple games with a shoulder injury sustained against the Irish.

• Nice article by Andy Staples on SI.com about Michigan walk-on freshman safety Jordan Kovacs.

• Rich Rodriguez called into the Dan Patrick Show yesterday to discuss Notre Dame and the NCAA investigation.

• Michigan has a shiny new website just for it's football program. See it here. MGoBlue dot com also has a new look and feel to it...see it here.

• The Indiana contest on September 26th will air live on ESPN or ESPN2.

• And finally, there's been some noise on the internet about the alleged "punch" by Jonas Mouton on a Notre Dame player after a play last weekend. When asked about it in an interview, Rodriguez was not aware of any punches thrown by Mouton. So no punishment from the coaches will be handed down. As far as I can see, Mouton did something. It hard to see in the video...whatever he did, he did it fast. But there is something there. Have a look...
