Robinson was flushed and flustered for much of the game as Michigan State's No. 1-ranked defense bullied a Wolverines offensive line that, more or less, had held its own this year.
It's not time to take Michigan QB Denard Robinson's job away
Mark Snyder• The Detroit Free Press
Those calling to remove Denard Robinson as Michigan's starting quarterback have amnesia, are ill-informed or are simply shouting absurdity.

The rookie coach's attitude is contagious, and his plan is already producing results
Brady puts it into drive
Ian Rapoport • The Boston Herald
The win over the Cowboys must have energized Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, because he woke up extra early today to do his regularly scheduled interview with WEEI Radio's Dennis & Callahan Show. Brady was in the 6:15 a.m. slot, gushing pretty proudly about what it took to yank out a win in the final seconds.
BASKETBALL

David Fox • Rivals.com
Coach John Beilein looks to have the talent on the roster to make a title run in the Big Ten, but the question mark at point guard is a barrier.

A week ago, Crete-Monee (Ill.) junior wide receiver Laquon Treadwell was still looking for his first offer. Sunday night he was sitting on two offers from two of the Midwest's most tradition-rich programs.
Hutchings is a versatile prospect
Tim Sullivan • TheWolverine.com
Concord (Calif.) De La Salle has been kind to Michigan in the past. Wide receiver Amani Toomer starred for the Wolverines from 1992 to 1995, and quarterback Matt Gutierrez played two years at Michigan, before injuries led him to transfer to Idaho State after losing the starting position to Chad Henne. The Wolverines have turned their attentions in 2013 back toward De La Salle, offering 6-2, 210-pound linebacker Michael Hutchings.
