Stat bullets:
• The tale of the stats can be summed up by just looking at the average ranking of Michigan's and UMass's week 1 and 2 opponents. (Alabama and Air Force versus UConn and Indiana)
• Not only is this weekend's game against UMass a confidence booster, it should also serve as a stats booster as well. Almost every category is lacking drastically from where Michigan finished in 2011...especially on defense.
• By the time we enter B1G play, we should have a pretty good idea, statistically where Michigan stands versus opponents. I do realize that this sort of thing is kind of an exercise in futility, because, really how much can early season numbers tell you about a team?
• The only numbers really worth remembering are 82 and 6. That's the amount UMass has been outscored by in two games so far. They were shut out by UConn in week 1.
