I did not see him miss a single block versus USC. For a guy with a sprained knee, he looks like a solid All-Big Ten star. I don't know how "nasty" Justin Boren is; but his dad sure is. And little brother Zach was known as a nasty, if not dirty, player at Pickerington Central. (Justin went to Pickerington North; Zach started at North but got pulled out and was sent to Central by his dad, much as his dad pulled Justin out of Michigan when Zach didn't get a scholarship offer from Michigan.) All of which makes laughable the claim that Boren left Michigan because of a lack of "family values" with the Rodriguez staff. All the Borens -- Mike, Justin, Zach -- are guys with nasty football mentalities. To suggest that Rodriguez's practices or methods were somehow too harsh for Justin Boren's tastes is beyond ridiculous. OSU made a package deal for both Boren boys after Michigan declined to offer Zach a scholarship. You guys should know that better than anyone.

You don't go to Michigan if you can't play, and I think that will bear itself out this season. Look for him to maybe even physically maim a Wolverine at the end of the season.
