A play-by-play review of the Michigan football team's spring game
Sophomore tailback Thomas Rawls was responsible for both touchdowns scored at the Michigan football team's spring game Saturday at Michigan Stadium.
Matt Wile's 43-yard field goal accounted for the only other points scored in the controlled scrimmage, which culminated with the Wolverines' defense stopping the offense on four consecutive 4th-and-goal plays from the 2-yard-line.
Coach Brady Hoke's plan was to run 30 plays, take a "halftime" break and run 30 more plays. Denard Robinson was under center for just one series, completing 2 of 3 passes for 13 yards.
Listed below are unofficial final offensive statistics and a running account of each play:

Why did Denard play on only one series? (6 plays.) Likewise: was Roundtree ever back out there after the first series? How often did Ricky Barnum play at center? Those are my burning questions. Other thoughts; Hoke and Borgess have way more up their sleeve with Denard and do not want to reveal anything at this point. Denard never kept the ball and ran on an option read. Does the O-line need to work on pass protection?
