INSIDE MICHIGAN ATHLETICS 20 Straight wins over Indiana for the Michigan football team, representing the best stretch in program history against a Big Ten team, eclipsing a 19-game winning streak against Northwestern and 16-game streaks versus Minnesota and Illinois. 29 Shots under par for the Michigan women's golf team at the Las Vegas Col- legiate Showdown Oct. 30-31, a 54-hole tournament program record by 38 strokes. U-M finished fourth. 70.67 The current strokes-per-round average for sophomore golfer Kyle Mueller. U-M does not return to play until Feb. 12-13, when Mueller will begin his chase of the single-season record of 72.00 (Matt Thompson, 2009-10). 152 Career three-pointers for junior guard Siera Thompson through Nov. 15. The women's basketball standout is on pace to eclipse the school record of 205. Sitting Down With U-M Passing Game Coordinator Jedd Fisch Michigan passing game coordinator, quarterbacks and wide receivers coach Jedd Fisch has made a splash in his first year on staff, getting plenty of credit from head coach Jim Harbaugh for his ingenuity this year. He talks about the offense and more in this Q&A. The Wolverine: You seemed to take a page from the Michigan State playbook and used a play they ran against you when you played Rutgers. How often does that happen? Fisch: "You are constantly looking at what other teams do, what defenses you're going to see and how they compare to either the defense you play or that others play. Sometimes there are just times you're going to say, 'Are they in this coverage, or is this a team that runs similar looks?' "Plays are stolen all the time from everybody, everywhere. Very often you can turn on plenty of games and say, 'Didn't they just run this or that'… whoever it might be. Constantly you're always looking at film for good ideas, things that look like we could use."
