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?
Last June, Hasselbeck was part of a group that got a nasty jolt when lightening struck the ground next to a tent where they were attending an outdoor wedding reception.
Hasselbeck had headed to the tunnel to try to dry out when the lightening flashed over the stadium.
"I didn't know if it was lightening, or if it was camera flashes," he said.
After his experience in June, Hasselbeck said he wasn't sure whether he would have played had the storm worsened and the game continued.
Then, thinking about it a little more, he changed his mind.
"If the game was that close it could have been a tornado and I probably would have played," he said.
Down and dirty: There was at least one solid performance in Saturday's down pour - the Michigan Stadium field.
The Prescription Athletic Turf's drainage system was repaired over the summer and worked well in its first game test.
As for the rain, Michigan linebacker Jarrett Irons answered whether he had ever played in worse conditions with a simple one word answer: "Purdue."
Boston College defensive tackle Stalin Colinet had a more joyful take on the weather.
"I love playing in the rain," Colinet said. "We don't get to play in the mud in Boston, so when we get the chance we like to get dirty."
Stuck in a rut: While Michigan's offensive play has been anything but consistent, the same can't be said for its output.
With Saturday's 20-14 win, the Wolverines have now scored 20 points in each of their past four games.
Michigan ended last season with a 22-20 loss in the Alamo Bowl to Texas A&M. Besides Saturday's game, Michigan has beaten Illinois 20-8, and Colorado, 20-13, this season.
They called what?: Boston College coach Dan Henning wasn't too open to talking about the offensive pass interference call made against Eagles receiver Steve Everson late in the second quarter.
"No comment," was Henning's initial response.
He quickly changed his mind, however, and decided a comment might just be in order.
"How the hell do you pass interfere a player behind you?" Henning asked. "It's hard."
No comment (The sequel): Though Henning decided to comment on the pass interference call, he didn't want to talk about another play.
After the Eagles took a 14-7 lead in the third quarter, Boston College kicker John Matich booted the ensuing kick off the leg of Michigan's Aaron Shea, after which the ball was recovered by Boston College's Shalom Tolefree.
A great play or an accident?
"No comment," Henning said.
Down it goes: Michigan Stadium had its 131st straight crowd of over 100,000 fans Saturday.
That's a nice streak, but the Wolverines don't hold the record for the largest crowd anymore.
Tennessee broke the record Saturday when 107,608 watched the Volunteers lose to Florida.
Michigan set the previous record in 1993, when 106,867 watched the Wolverines beat Ohio State, 28-0.

Boston College quarterback was much happier to see Michigan's defense than he was to see the thunder storm that rolled through Ann Arbor on Saturday.
