Michigan’s
defense is one of the best in the nation. They picked up a new
defensive coordinator named Ron English. He is a big part of why
Michigan’s defense is so good. They have one of the top running
defenses in the country. On average, they hold opponents to 33 rushing
yards a game. |
 |

Their
front seven might be the best in the NCAA. It is led by LaMarr
Woodley, who led the NCAA in sacks last year. He is one of four
candidates for the 37th Lombardi award, which is awarded to
the best lineman. Woodley is also a candidate for the Ted Hendricks
award, which is given to the Nation’s best defensive end. There is also
Rondell Biggs, Terrance Taylor, and Alan Branch. The defensive line has
more than half of our sacks this season. |
 |
| |
Michigan
also has some great linebackers. The starters are Shawn Crable,
Prescott Burgess, and David Harris. Their secondary is led by one of
the best cornerbacks in the NCAA, Leon Hall. He is one of the five
finalists for the Bronko Nagurski award, which is given to the best
defensive player. Hall also leads Michigan in interceptions and fumbles
recovered. |
 |
| |
The other cornerbacks are Charles Stewart
and Morgan Trent. Trent and Stewart switch off and both get a good
amount of playing time. Our strong safety is Willis Barringer. Our
starting free safety is Ryan Mundy. Our Defense has only allowed 175
Points this whole season. The also sacked opponent’s quarter backs 42
times total this season.
