Outside of practice, there aren't a lot of occasions when Mike Martin doesn't see a double-team.

That trend continued during Saturday's 42-37 win over Massachusetts, when the junior nose tackle continued to attract plenty of attention. Despite that, Martin made six tackles and registered Michigan's only sack of the day against Minuteman quarterback Kyle Havens.

The sack, the fifth of Martin's career, displayed the 299-pound lineman's ability to shed offensive linemen and get to the quarterback, which, given his position, is always a welcomed sight.

"At nose tackle, you don't get a lot of chances to get free and get a 1-on-1," Martin said. "Coach talks about hitting the rock and when the rock breaks, it's not the hit that made it break, it's the 99 prior hits that made it break."

Breaking it down

Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez said he will spend plenty of time watching film, trying to see where breakdowns in all three aspects of the game took place. While much of the disappointments took place defensively, Rodriguez said he will evaluate special teams and the Wolverines' offense as well.

But he won't do it Saturday night. After Michigan's third straight win, Rodriguez said he will leave his football business until Sunday.

"I'll have a smile on my face and I'll go home and hug the wife and kids and watch someone else have misery tonight," Rodriguez said.

Special trip

Rodriguez made a rare trip into the visitor's locker room after Saturday's game. He said he made a point of seeking out Minutemen coach Kevin Morris to commend him on his team's play.

"You've got to give them credit. They came to play and they came to coach," Rodriguez said. "They did a terrific job and so (the closeness of the game) wasn't all of our doing. It was some of their doing, too. They've got some guys that looked pretty good and played pretty good."

Saying goodbye

Freshman Davion Rogers left the Michigan program this week after the linebacker/defensive end experienced NCAA Clearinghouse issues. He is the third player to leave the Wolverines in the past week after safety Vlad Emilien and defensive lineman Anthony LaLota decided they would transfer elsewhere.
