UM: Football

By

An article in the New York Times, by local sports journalist Pete Bigelow, profiles Greg Mattison, defensive coordinator for the University of Michigan football team. The article highlight’s Mattison’s close relationsip with UM coach Brady Hoke: “So far, Hoke’s reliance on his longtime friend has been rewarded. Since Hoke and Mattison arrived at Michigan less than a year ago, the program’s defense has been resurrected. A unit that finished the 2010 season ranked 110th among the 120 Football Bowl Subdivision teams in total defense ranks 17th entering Tuesday’s Sugar Bowl matchup against Virginia Tech.” [Source]
