Eyes in the Sky- 2008

The game notes for the season opener vs. Utah were released last Thursday and, as usual, it is chock-full of information. One noteworthy tidbit of information is who will be the "eyes in the sky" in 2008. The notes list Calvin McGee (Assoc. Head Coach/Offensive Coordinator) and Tony Dews (Wide Receivers) as the two coaches who will be in the booth from the offensive side of the ball. On the defensive side, Scott Shafer (Defensive Coordinator) and Bruce Tall (Defensive Line) will occupy the booth during games. Shafer has stated that he prefers the perch of the booth rather than watching the game from the sidelines because he has a better perspective on the action from the box. This is a change from Ron English (Michigan's previous Def. Coord.) who coached from the sidelines. Go Blue!
