It's not really fair to blame the defense on the first goal because Ohio
State was up 2 men.  On the second goal, you complaint may be valid.  I'm
just happy that Michigan finally played with some intensity in the 2nd
period.  My seats are in the end that we defend twice and this is the
first time that I've actually seen them score in my end all season.
Hopefully, they won't suffer at let down tonight against LSSU.
