The unmovable object


Here is your task Mr. Defensive End. Get to the quarterback.

There is only one problem, there is a fellow in the way who objects to your presence in the backfield. He is 6' 7" and weighs north of 310 lbs. He has been flagged exactly zero times for penalties this season, unheard of from a left tackle. As far as I know, he has not surrendered a single sack. He bulldozes DEs on run plays. So good luck with that.


Jake Long may just be the best player in college football but gets very little ink. That has changed of late, but if the Wolverines lose to Ohio State (which I think they will) this weekend, he will likely be forgotten in the halls of Wolverine greats. That is a shame because he might just be one of the, if not the, greatest linemen in Michigan history. There is a lot more than a Big Ten championship on the line this weekend.
GO BLUE!
