Struggling ahead
Eleven fumbles. Six turnovers. Four missed field goals. One missed extra-point attempt. Twelve penalties for 108 yards.
What a game.
If you're Michigan, it was a victory.
If you're Boston College, it stank.
The great game that shouldn't have been
For the moment, forget the ugliness. Forget the seven fumbles and the six penalties. Forget the two missed field goals and the two blocked kicks. Forget the offense that wasn't generated and the defense that was good but could've been better.
Forget the downpour and the near-loss that almost dampened everything the Wolverines had accomplished seven days before.
Charging to the top
An 18-year-old stepped onto the Ann Arbor scene four years ago, ready to embark on his freshman year.
He did all the things that first-year students at the University tend to do. He lived in a dormitory with a roommate. He enrolled in introductory courses. And he was one of the 106,000 screaming fans at Michigan football games.

Sullivan fights more than injury these days
Kevin Sullivan is proud he's at Michigan. He is proud to run with a big block 'M' on his chest. He is proud he's become one of the best long-distance runners in school history. And he is proud to be a college student in the United States.
The decision to go to college in America was an easy one. Over three years ago, the senior cross-country runner left his Brantford, Ontario, home for Ann Arbor.
Michigan 20
Coming into the season, Boston College coach Dan Henning knew his team wasn't going to be that good.
Sure, he welcomed back 15 starters, but that was from a team that went 4-8. And most importantly, the man who was supposed to be the 16th starter - quarterback Mark Hartsell - bolted early for the NFL. The Eagles were left without an experienced signal-caller.
Arizona State stuns No. 1 Nebraska, 19-0
PHOENIX - Top-ranked Nebraska had its 26-game winning streak snapped Saturday night in a shocking 19-0 loss to No. 17 Arizona State on the same field where the Cornhuskers won their second straight national championship in January.
The Sun Devils, routed by the Cornhuskers 77-28 last season, recorded three safeties in handing the Cornhuskers their first defeat since losing the 1994 Orange Bowl to Florida State.
Boston college 14
Two years ago, Michigan placekicker Remy Hamilton kicked a game-winning field goal at Notre Dame on his way to an All-America season.
Every Michigan fan loved him.
Hasselbeck weary of lightning striking twice
Boston College quarterback Matt Hasselbeck said he wasn't hiding in the Michigan Stadium tunnel during the third quarter thunderstorm that swept over Michigan Stadium.
But could you blame him if he was?

Blue women's soccer ties a pair
This weekend, the Michigan women's soccer team battled to a couple of exciting 2-2 ties against top-ranked teams California and Kentucky.

Attacker Flachs' hat trick powers 'M' field hockey over Ball State
The failure by some fans to sing "The Victors" characterized the initial feelings at Michigan's field hockey game against Ball State on Saturday.
Not until the last minutes of the game did spirits start to rise and cheers start to be heard.
Frosh make debut for men's tennis
The Michigan men's tennis team expects its promising recruiting class to contribute this year. Last weekend, the freshmen took a big step toward proving they can do just that.
John Long, Brad McFarlane and Matt Wright each turned in a solid performance at the Tom Fallon Invitational in South Bend, Ind. Their success helped answer some important questions about the upcoming season as the Wolverines attempt to defend their Big Ten title.
Volleyball falls short to Irish, splatters Eastern
Up two sets to one at Cliff Keen Arena Friday night, the Michigan volleyball team was just three points away from upsetting the No. 12 team in the nation. But the Wolverines failed to deliver the knockout blow, giving the Irish consecutive victory No. 51 against unranked opponents.
Michigan lost to Notre Dame, 15-10, 8-15, 5-15, 15-12, 15-10, because it could not put the Irish away.
Inconsistent 'M' women golfers place ninth
When most sports fans think of Indiana, they think of basketball, Bobby Knight or maybe even the movie "Hoosiers".
To those fans that are acquainted with the collegiate golf community, Indiana sparks different thoughts.
