Former Michigan head coach Rich Rodriguez: Arizona fell to 5-4 as they lost to UCLA by a score of 66-10.  The Wildcats might have been feeling a hangover from upsetting USC the previous week, and that might have been exacerbated by quarterback Matt Scott recovering from what appeared to be a concussion in that USC game.  Scott threw the ball just 15 times and had only 3 carries.

Former Michigan S Ray Vinopal: Vinopal had 2 tackles and 1 quarterback hurry in Pitt’s 29-26 loss to Notre Dame.

Former Michigan CB commit Demar Dorsey: Dorsey and former Michigan LB commit Antonio Kinard are both on Western Arizona Community College’s football roster.  Dorsey was supposed to head to Hawaii and Kinard was supposed to be at Miami by now, but both have run into academic and/or legal issues.  Western Arizona CC is a repository of former high school talent, including former USC wide receiver Markeith Ambles and former South Carolina quarterback Tanner McEvoy.
