I heard the Colt Brennan was starting for the South, and that he was also named team captain. I live in Hawaii, and was wondering what you Wolverines think about Brennan.

Well a good afternoon to everyone! The game's about to get underway here ... for those who weren't here for the Michigan-Illinois live blog, you can send in comments/questions, etc. - I have to approve them. I'll try to get as many of them up as possible.

Brennan has been a top qb for a couple years.Should be a great pro.

It actually looks like some fairly miserable weather down there in Mobile - cold and rainy

Saturday January 26, 2008 3:59

For the record, the NFL Network just called out Colt Brennan as a guy "Who Has the Most To Prove" - said he was smaller weight-wise than the scouts expected

Not sure about the status of either Jamar Adams or Shawn Crable today. They were both banged up earlier this year.

Saturday January 26, 2008 4:01

And I'm officially going to confuse Joe Flacco with Chad Henne at least once ... stupid Delaware helmet ripoffs

Saturday January 26, 2008 4:02

4:02

[Comment From who da guywho da guy: ]

Brennan had a stomach flu, lost 10 lbs. and is down to 185. But besides for a weak weigh-in, and lack of deep ball accuracy due to weigh-in, he has done pretty well during the week. Hopefully he does well.

Mike Hart was invited, but chose to sit out, as far as I know. With how banged up he was all year, I would assume it's a health issue

Henne swings one out to Chauncey Washington on the Michigan boot right special for five yards. 1-for-2 for 5

Saturday January 26, 2008 4:09

4:10

Third down: Good protection, Henne throws into the line, batted down. Not a great start.

Neither Jamar Adams nor Shawn Crable is on the field at the moment. Still have not actually seen either of them.

Saturday January 26, 2008 4:11

4:12

Brennan completes his first pass - just a short little flare to Rafael Little from Kentucky for about 8

Saturday January 26, 2008 4:12

4:14

Brennan PA .... Intercepted! Tried to squeeze one into a TE and Dan Connor from Penn State picks it.

Saturday January 26, 2008 4:14

4:14

That's a miserable start for Brennan ... not only a pick, but he threw sidearm into double coverage when there was an underneath guy wide open

Saturday January 26, 2008 4:17

PA deep ball from the 40. Actually a pretty crummy throw in the conditions by Henne - just threw it up into the corner of the EZ and Hawkins from Cal made a great adjustment.

Timeout with 9:15 to go in the first. The South is on the 42 of the North.

Brennan fires a strike to Houston's Donnie Avery for 20 yards. Great pass.

Saturday January 26, 2008 4:34

4:34

Basically the same route that Brennan threw behind Avery a minute ago

Saturday January 26, 2008 4:34

Eastern DE Jason Jones did start for the North, and just made a tackle on a running play. 3rd and 2.

How does Brennan look taking snaps from under the center?

Saturday January 26, 2008 4:36 wahiawaboy

4:37

He looks fine, perfectly comfortable at the moment.

South turns it over again - Matt Forte had 15 yards on a pitch out and then fumbled.

Saturday January 26, 2008 4:37

4:37

Booty in at QB for Henne

Saturday January 26, 2008 4:37

4:38

The announcers are talking up Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie from Tennessee State and right on cue, he makes a sensational play to break up a Booty pass.

Saturday January 26, 2008 4:38

4:38

[Comment From DanDan: ]

Not a lot of work for Henne, what were his final stats?

Saturday January 26, 2008 4:38 Dan

4:39

He was 2-for-3 I believe for 45 yards and a TD. But he'll be back in, I think they're rotating in something like 12-play stretches.

Saturday January 26, 2008 4:39

4:39

Booty to Kansas State's Jordy Nelson on the sideline. Then Booty rolls out and hits Julius Crosslin from Oklahoma State.

Booty looks the best of the three QBs so far, and the North playcalling has him out of the pocket on every play so far.

Saturday January 26, 2008 4:39

4:40

Someone asked about Roy Scheuning ... have not seen him yet. There's definitely not an Oregon State helmet on that OL right now.

Saturday January 26, 2008 4:40

4:42

Rodgers-Cromartie just made another great play. Quick close on a hitch route and a great tackle - I have no idea who this guy is, but he looks great.

Saturday January 26, 2008 4:42

4:42

First quarter comes to an end. It will be 4th and 1 for the North at the South 37 or so

Saturday January 26, 2008 4:42

Roy Scheuning did start, but doesn't appear in now. He's a RG and #67. Go Oregon State!

Saturday January 26, 2008 4:42 Guest

4:43

Fair enough. The NFL Network guys seem relatively disinterested with the offensive linemen thus far.

Saturday January 26, 2008 4:43

4:44

So 7-0 North after one on the Henne-to-Hawkins 39-yard TD pass.

Saturday January 26, 2008 4:44

4:44

The NFL Network's production of football games continues to underwhelm me greatly, by the way.

Another South turnover! Woodson under heavy pressure from Eastern Michigan's Jason Jones, pops the ball out of Woodson's hands and ND's Trevor Laws grabs it. First and 10 at the South 20 for the North.

Woodson with a touchdown pass on a play action to TE Brad Cottom from Tennessee. Nice job by Woodson in the pocket reading receivers and finding a wide open TE.

Joe Flacco sighting

Saturday January 26, 2008 5:06

5:06

All the QBs are under center today ... and ironically Henne has the only fumble despite taking more snaps there than most of these other guys

Saturday January 26, 2008 5:06

5:07

Flacco hands-off to Yvenson Bernard on 1st and 2nd down. 3rd and 5.

7-7 score with 7:30 left in the 2nd.

Saturday January 26, 2008 5:07

5:08

Flacco's third-down pass sails over the head of MSU TE Kellen Davis.

Roughing the passer call on Alabama DL Wallace Gilberry keeps the North with the ball.

Saturday January 26, 2008 5:08

5:09

Flacco has Adarius Bowman and Dorien Bryant as his WRs. He's handed off four times to Bernard and thrown the one INC.

Third and three

Saturday January 26, 2008 5:09

5:09

And another handoff. Bernard gets three yards straight ahead.

Saturday January 26, 2008 5:09

5:10

The North has really gone to the ground game with Flacco in. Sort of disappointing - Bernard's just pounding up ahead into the line.

Chauncey Washington has been playing fullback ... that is not going very well.

Saturday January 26, 2008 5:10

5:11

Justin Forsett from Cal gets a run. Chauncey Washington misses another block. And Philip Wheeler from Georgia Tech gets in on another tackle - he's been active and quick to close so far.

Saturday January 26, 2008 5:11

5:12

Sorry, Roy Schuening fans - 15-yard chop block

Saturday January 26, 2008 5:12

5:12

Flacco under pressure, tries to swing a screen to Chauncey Washington who drops it in traffic.

Saturday January 26, 2008 5:12

Washington is having an awful game, by the way

Third and 20 at midfield

Saturday January 26, 2008 5:13 Guest

Woodson looked solid so far, Rafael Little actually had a couple of nice runs and a decent punt return. I haven't heard Jacob Tamme or Wesley Woodyard called yet.

Saturday January 26, 2008 5:14

5:15

Little only had a couple of carries - there are five South RBs splitting carries fairly equally. He showed some quickness and hit the hole harder than I thought he could.

Saturday January 26, 2008 5:15

5:15

Hard to say who the best RB has been so far - maybe Choice from Georgia Tech.

Saturday January 26, 2008 5:15

5:16

And of course, Choice gets buried for no gain on first down. South ball at its own 7, less than four to go in the half.

NFL Network is all over Rodgers-Cromartie, with good reason

Saturday January 26, 2008 5:16

Saturday January 26, 2008 5:16

Safety! Sedrick Ellis from USC just blew right through Kory Lichtensteiger from Bowling Green.

Woodson just had a miserable series - terrible 2nd down pass attempt, then drops back seven yards from his own seven and takes a sack.

There's a great play by Wesley Woodyard. Third and one pitch to Justin Forsett, one on one on the left with Woodyard. He held his ground, stood Forsett up and kept him short of the first down. 4th and inches.

From EA's stats, it looks like he had a solid game. I hope this wil put him closer to a first day draft pick

Saturday January 26, 2008 6:45 Ainger

6:46

Henne 5-for-9 for 64 yards and 2 TDs ... MVP frontrunner?

Saturday January 26, 2008 6:46

6:46

[Comment From AaronAaron: ]

He will be a first day pick, to be honest, in a month this game is not going to mean much at all once they hit the combines

[Comment From Mark BrunnellMark Brunnell: ]

Hawkins is my guess for MVP. Rodgers-Cromoartie would be a close 2nd, in my opinion.

Saturday January 26, 2008 6:46 Mark Brunnell

6:47

Agreed on both counts. If the South had won, I would reverse them.

Saturday January 26, 2008 6:47

6:47

Mayock's top 5 QBs: Ryan, Henne, Brohm, Flacco, Woodson

Saturday January 26, 2008 6:47

6:47

Surprised Henne moved up that high, but it's good to see

[Comment From JamarJamar: ]

Do you think Adams will get drafted?

Saturday January 26, 2008 6:47 Jamar

6:48

I think he's a lock to get drafted somewhere - he'll be a LB in the NFL, but he is quick and can hit.

Saturday January 26, 2008 6:48

6:48

Fourth down with 3 minutes left ... Forsett got buried short of the marker it looks like.

Saturday January 26, 2008 6:48

6:48

Would have been about a 35-yard attempt for Serna

Saturday January 26, 2008 6:48

6:49

Kellen Davis from MSU got smoked by Kendal Langford from Hampton.

Saturday January 26, 2008 6:49

South ball with 2:48 left and a lot of ground to cover.

Wow. I think the Raiders should fire the coach for that call. Oh, wait...

[Comment From GuestGuest: ]

How has Jordan Dizon looked? Projected round?

Saturday January 26, 2008 6:50 Guest

6:51

Dizon played well early on, but I haven't heard his name called much lately. He's definitely a second-day guy in my mind. He's really undersized and that will hurt a lot.

Saturday January 26, 2008 6:51

[Comment From UTter DominationUTter Domination: ]

From what Ainge has shown today, what round can we see him being drafted?

Saturday January 26, 2008 6:51 UTter Domination

6:52

Ainge did look decent today. He still hasn't moved ahead of guys like Woodson or Flacco or Henne. Probably a second-day guy too, but someone will definitely take a shot on him.

Saturday January 26, 2008 6:52

6:52

Ainge is in now actually

Saturday January 26, 2008 6:52

6:52

South needs 86 yards ... wait 91 ... false start.

First down out to Tamme for about four

Saturday January 26, 2008 6:52

6:53

If they go down and score, Ainge will be MVP

Saturday January 26, 2008 6:53

6:53

just a guess

Saturday January 26, 2008 6:53

6:53

Forte gets one yard ... stuffed by ... guess who - Trevor Laws. Dan Connor in there also.

Saturday January 26, 2008 6:53

6:54

Dizon just got called for holding I believe.

Saturday January 26, 2008 6:54

6:54

[Comment From JakeJake: ]

How have Charles Godfrey and Bryan Mattison performed today?

Saturday January 26, 2008 6:54 Jake

6:54

Nope, never mind. Uncatchable pass into the 2-minute warning. 4th and 10.

Saturday January 26, 2008 6:54

6:55

Mattison was in on a couple of tackles earlier. I have not heard about/seen Godfrey at all.

Saturday January 26, 2008 6:55

[Comment From KiLBurnKiLBurn: ]

Has Ellis done enough this week to move past Dorsey, especially in light of the fact that Dorsey chose not to attend?

Saturday January 26, 2008 6:55 KiLBurn

6:55

Ainge is 8-for-11 for 81 yards for those that asked.

Saturday January 26, 2008 6:55

6:56

Dorsey is still the top DL in the draft. Some of these guys choose not to attend (like Dorsey and Matt Ryan) because they can't improve their draft status at all. Dorsey looks like a lock to go top 3. Plus he was hurt all year, so sitting out was a wise choice.

Brennan was 2-for-6 for 30 yards and an INT

Saturday January 26, 2008 6:56

6:56

4th and 10 ...

Saturday January 26, 2008 6:56

6:57

Ainge hit as he throws high ... GREAT CATCH Andre Caldwell from Florida going up high

Saturday January 26, 2008 6:57

6:57

Woah! Jordan Dizon just leveled Harry Douglas on a short pass pattern

Saturday January 26, 2008 6:57

6:57

[Comment From titatita: ]

why did they not give brennan any more series

Saturday January 26, 2008 6:57 tita

6:57

They all got 3 I believe.

Saturday January 26, 2008 6:57

6:58

Ainge down the middle - great pass and catch Ainge to Donnie Avery to the North 44 yard line. No stoppage on first down. 47 seconds left, Ainge spikes it.

Saturday January 26, 2008 6:58

6:58

11-for-14 for 123 for Ainge. Definitely the MVP if the South scores.

Saturday January 26, 2008 6:58

6:58

Donnie Avery has looked solid today too, the wide receiver from Houston.

Saturday January 26, 2008 6:58

6:59

Terrence Wheatley of Colorado flagged for interference.

he's tearing it up! Representing Oregon baby

Saturday January 26, 2008 6:59 Ainger

Ainge under heavy pressure - Sedrick Ellis again! Ainge fumbles. The South recovers it.

Saturday January 26, 2008 7:00

7:00

Nope they called it an incomplete pass. Never mind.

Saturday January 26, 2008 7:00

7:00

Ainge to Harry Douglas in the middle of the field, makes the grab at the 26, outruns the defense out of bounds at the 15!

Saturday January 26, 2008 7:00

7:01

25 seconds left. Timeout North.

Good thing the North didn't kick that FG.......

Saturday January 26, 2008 7:01

7:01

[Comment From Mark BrunnellMark Brunnell: ]

Ellis is having a monster day. I could see him passing Drosey if he keeps this up through the combine and individual workouts

Saturday January 26, 2008 7:01 Mark Brunnell

7:01

That's a good point, it's not like the draft is tomorrow.

Saturday January 26, 2008 7:01

[Comment From KiLBurnKiLBurn: ]

Brad Cottam impressing anyone, today?

Saturday January 26, 2008 7:01 KiLBurn

7:02

Not this guy - but he could be blocking the crap out of people and I just didn't notice.

Saturday January 26, 2008 7:02

7:02

Ainge screen to Forte - he makes the catch and powers through two tackles down to the 2. Forte has had a very, very good game - other than a fumble.

Saturday January 26, 2008 7:02

7:02

15 seconds left.

Saturday January 26, 2008 7:02

Lane Kiffin cementing his legacy as a terrible coach.

Saturday January 26, 2008 7:03

First fade of the day ... Caldwell wasn't looking for it, and Tracy Porter from Indiana was all over him.

11 seconds left

Saturday January 26, 2008 7:03

7:04

Ainge throwing for Tamme in the end zone, incomplete - good coverage by Godfrey from Iowa

Saturday January 26, 2008 7:04

7:04

i'll get to a couple of these other questions in a minute ...

Saturday January 26, 2008 7:04

7:05

Ainge throwing for Douglas, behind him and incomplete with 4 seconds left. That was a poor pass - Douglas was there if Ainge had gotten it out in front of him with some air under it.

Saturday January 26, 2008 7:05

7:05

No timeouts. Four seconds.

Saturday January 26, 2008 7:05

7:05

16-10 North, South on the 2.

Saturday January 26, 2008 7:05

7:05

OH MY! REVERSE TO CALDWELL FOR THE TOUCHDOWN!

Saturday January 26, 2008 7:05

7:06

He got stuck at the goalline and just got in!

Saturday January 26, 2008 7:06

7:06

No time left, 16-16. Brandon Coutu for the win

Saturday January 26, 2008 7:06

7:06

Got it! South wins, 17-16. Unreal.

Saturday January 26, 2008 7:06

7:07

Whew ... ok a couple of those other questions.

Saturday January 26, 2008 7:07

[Comment From GoBeavsGoBeavs: ]

Haven't seen the game so far, have any Oregon State players (Serna, Scheuning, Bernard) looked good?

Saturday January 26, 2008 7:07 GoBeavs

7:08

Scheuning was OK - he did get a 15-yard chop block penalty earlier. The pass blocking on a whole was atrocious. Yvenson Bernard had an OK game - nothing spectacular. Serna missed a 19-yard FG.

Saturday January 26, 2008 7:08

[Comment From GordonGordon: ]

what was Colt Brennan's stats today? What round do you think Colt wil be selected?

Saturday January 26, 2008 7:08 Gordon

7:08

Brennan was 2-for-6 for 30 yards and an INT. He probably locked himself into the second day today.

You record the game and have a spare DVR-R lying around :). Just asking.

I don't think I missed the MVP announcement. It might have been Ainge ...

Saturday January 26, 2008 7:10

If Ainge had thrown a pass for that last TD, he probably would have gotten it

[Comment From Michigan WarriorMichigan Warrior: ]

Like I said, the NFL Network should sell the broadcast rights of this game to one of the other major networks or ESPN. Just not Fox. Their coverages of the BCS games were terrible and filled with too many commercials.

Saturday January 26, 2008 7:11 Michigan Warrior

7:13

Well, that wraps up the game and the questions I had waiting.

Thanks again to everyone for swinging by. I'll have to find some more reasons to get these live blogs going. It was fun.
