cfbstats.com - 2014 Big Ten Conference Player Leaders
Randy Gregory has 4.5 sacks on the season, good enough for second in the Big Ten. First is Kemoko Turay of Rutgers with 5.0. This is after Gregory has missed a fair amount of time in the first three games of the season including completely missing the McNeese State game.
Statistics being what they are, if you look at sacks per game, Gregory is #1 in the Big Ten and fifth nationally at 1.13 per game.
Gregory's career sack total is 15; he is 1.5 sacks away from moving into the top 10 of the career sack list.

THIS IS NOT MICHIGAN | mgoblog
Brady Hoke is too incompetent to be Michigan's coach. He's too incompetent to be responsible for 85 kids who might get badly hurt at any moment. Hell, he's too incompetent to run a Hooters. Do not eat the chicken at Brady Hoke Hooters. That's not chicken.
It just keeps getting bloodier at Michigan.
After facing heavy fire during his Monday press conference, Michigan Coach Brady Hoke defends how his program handles player injuries. Was not aware of any concussions with Shane Morris, but assumed concussion protocol was followed.
I don't believe that Brady Hoke would purposefully leave a player on the field if he thought he was injured. Having said that, if you go back and watch what transpired during the Minnesota game, you could at best call Hoke's staff incompetent, and no matter how you spin it, that falls on Hoke.
Everything wrong with the Dave Brandon Press Release - Maize n Brew
Brandon has released a statement on the Morris situation. It is a flimsy attempt at misdirection and misinformation. I look at everything wrong with this press release.
And as of last night at 1:00 am, the Michigan situation is spinning out of control as Athletic Director Dave Brandon issued a press release about what happened with the Shane Morris incident. Bottom line - everyone on the Michigan sideline missed seeing the hit that dazed Morris, then they had miscommunication and procedural problems and Michigan will work hard to resolve those, blah blah blah.
The real bottom line - Dave Brandon is working to save his ass while leaving Hoke's out in the wind. Everyone seems to want Hoke's head on a plate. I guess if Michigan wants to retain Brandon, let them.

Last But Certainly Not Least - A Jack Hoffman Update
Jack | Journal | CaringBridge
A little over one month ago Jack was enrolled in a clinical trial to battle his brain tumor. The initial days were difficult, as Bri and Jack spent the first eight days in Boston alone, while dad and the girls fended for themselves at home. Jack's first day of treatment with the new drug was on August 22nd. Since that time, he has been taking the oral medication twice daily.
