Two weeks ago, on a dark day in Columbus, Iowa tailback Tavian Banks knifed and cut and strained through the line but had nowhere to run every time. Waiting to swallow him was a sea of scarlet and gray, led by Ohio State linebacker Andy Katzenmoyer, that was intent on stopping the nation's leading rusher.
Michigan hopes Banks will be closed tomorrow

'M' tennis loses two for weekend invitational
Under a blue, gray October sky, the leaves are changing colors, the geese are flying south and there is a slight chill in the air. It looks and feels like the USC-Notre Dame game in South Bend.
"A New Coach, A New Stadium, a New Streak," T-shirts in the campus bookstore read, presuming that Notre Dame will resume its dominance after the Trojans ended their 13-year winless streak in the series with a 27-20 overtime victory last December in the Coliseum.Notre Dame-USC not the same
