Former Michigan Athlete of the Week: Frank Clark

Thanks to je93 for the generous donation via Paypal! I appreciate the contribution despite the self-imposed trip to purgatory.

Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Frank Clark is a pretty fun player to watch if you like pass rushers. On Monday night against the Los Angeles Chargers, he made 5 tackles, 2 tackles for loss, 1 sack, 1 forced fumble, 1 pass breakup, and 5 quarterback hurries, one of which resulted in an interception.

Michigan vs. Michigan State Awards

I would appreciate any support you can offer through Amazon purchases (LINK):

Let’s see more of this guy on offense . . . Shea Patterson. Michigan took Patterson off the field a couple times to run a single wing type of look near the goal line. Michigan has been doing this the past few weeks with Zach Charbonnet and/or Hassan Haskins. I groan every time I see it because it’s so predictable. I’ll give you a hint: it’s not a pass. Michigan isn’t even running any motion with it to give the look of a jet sweep or power read. At least leave Patterson on the field to have the threat of motion or a double pass or something. Maybe this is just to put something in Ohio State’s mind to consider in a couple weeks, but right now it’s not doing much.
