TWTW: Robinson Sets Records, Michigan Loses To Badgers

((HT: WISC-TV Madison))

Michigan's Denard Robinson has set two NCAA records against Wisconsin. He broke Beau Morgan's major-college record for yards rushing by quarterbacks and became the first player in NCAA history with 1,500 yards rushing and 1,500 yards passing in one year.

Morgan had 1,494 yards rushing for Air Force in 1996. Robinson beat that with a 12-yard run in the third quarter against the Badgers.

Jason Foster ran for 1,844 yards for Georgia Southern in 2007, setting the Football Championship Subdivision record.

Pat White, who starred in Rich Rodriguez's system when the coach was at West Virginia threw for 1,724 and ran for 1,335 in 2007.

TWTW: Michigan State Takes Michigan 3rd In A Row

The 17th-ranked Michigan State Spartans intercepted three Denard Robinson passes -- one in the end zone, one just outside of it -- and scored 24 unanswered points to break open a close game in a 34-17 win over the 18th-ranked Michigan Wolverines.

For the first time since 1965-67, Michigan State has won three straight in the series.

The biggest question for Sparty's defense would be: Could they keep Robinson in check considering all of the offensive numbers he's put up this season...

Remember his competition, the HQ points out...

He was 17 of 29 for 215 yards with two scores, but made three turnovers and ran for a season-low 86 yards on 21 carries.

And don't think the rest of the world won't have this game for video tape, either.

Michigan State, which was a five-point underdog, earned its most-lopsided victory in the series since beating the Wolverines 34-0 in 1967.

TWTW: Denard Robinson Saves Michigan Again, 42-35 At Indiana

((HT: WXIN-TV/Fox 59 Indianapolis))

Michigan drove down the field in the final 75 seconds, breaking a tie when Denard Robinson scored from four yards out to beat Indiana 42-35 in front of a sellout crowd at Memorial Stadium.

"I'm really disappointed for our kids," said Indiana head coach Bill Lynch. "I thought they had great effort and kept battling the whole time. We played a very, very good football team with some great players."

The freshman quarterback ((that would be Robinson)), considered an early front runner for the Heisman Trophy, finished with 217 yards rushing on 17 carries with two scores. He also went 10-of-16 for 277 yards and three TD's through the air.

That's almost another 500 yard all-purpose outing, kids...
