ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Michigans chances of having a special season improved when a trio of standouts chose to come back to college and put their dreams of playing in the NFL on hold.Cornerback Jourdan Lewis and tight end Jake Butt, second team All-Americans, and defensive tackle Chris Wormley all made the decision to help the Wolverines chase a desperately wanted Big Ten championship this season.The storied program has not won a conference title since 2004, its longest drought since failing to finish first in the Big Ten between 1950 and 1964.We could have opted out and made the money, Lewis said. But money wasnt important to us. It was our legacy.If they can help No. 7 Michigan start well in its opener at home against Hawaii and close strong enough to win the conference championship, it will go a long way toward making their careers memorable.The Wolverines moved a step toward respectability last year by winning 10 games in Jim Harbaughs first season as coach, but they lost to rivals Ohio State and Michigan State to stunt any sort of celebration.We just got a little taste of what its like, Butt said. I really wanted to come back and see what we could do this year because I really believe we can get something special done.The Wolverines open with five straight home games and have eight in all at the Big House. Tests, though, at Ohio State, Michigan State and Iowa may prove to be pivotal.We have a pretty tough road schedule, but I really think we can get it done, Wormley said.Heres are some things to watch when Michigan hosts the Rainbows (0-1) on Saturday:WELL TRAVELEDHawaii started the season in Australia, losing to Cal by 20 points, and went back to campus before making another long trek to Michigan. By the Rainbows get home, they will have traveled about 20,000 miles and been in airplanes for about 40 hours for just two games.If they start looking for excuses, theyll find them, Hawaii coach Nick Rolovich said. I hope they dont watch the news. We got to look at it as an opportunity and play a great team and a coach that is good for college football. Its the (Ferdinand) Magellan mindset. Were ready to explore the world. We got to embrace it.JUMPMANMichael Jordan will be Michigans honorary captain because the Wolverines are first college or pro football team to wear the Jordan Brand.Im going to need to get a haircut, said Butt, who will be one of the captains to be alongside the former NBA superstar for the pregame coin flip.JUST JOKINGRolovich told reporters earlier in the week that Michigan denied a request to share its scrimmage video because the Rainbows have already played a game for them to be scouted. Later, the first-year coach and former Rainbows quarterback apologized and insisted he wasnt being serious when he said that.SECRET SNAPHarbaugh refused to reveal who will start at quarterback, but he is expected to go with Wilton Speight ahead of Houston transfer John OKorn. Speight played in seven games last year and threw a game-winning TD at Minnesota after Jake Rudock was injured.NO WORRIESAt least one Hawaii player doesnt sound the least bit intimidated about facing Michigan at the Big House.Theyre not national champions, Rainbows receiver Dylan Collie said. Theyre just another football team. That just makes this more fun. Thats what you grow up thinking about. Thats what you live for. Thats why I play this game. I want to play in front of a lot of people.

Number values assigned are out of five with five being the best performance. Tuukka Rask - 5 – Was again brilliant in Game 2, especially in the first period when it mattered most. He was great in pushing across to rob Sharp on a lateral play that was labeled a goal. The only goal against, he made three big saves before it and had Handzus draped all over him as Ference pushed him into Rask on the play. Was especially strong on his wraparounds tonight and his rebound conntrol was Elite again.dddddddddddd Corey Crawford - 4 – He was very strong on Saturday. He had two ten bell saves in the overtime period alone, robbing both Horton and Krecji. His puck handling was quick and decisive and he was really strong on his rebound control and positioning again. The Bruins are targeting his glove side now. The three goals last game went glove side. Jagr had two shots, one hit a crossbar and another he made a great save on in tonights game. The game winning goal was scored there as well, where he looked to overplay the shot as it went between the pad and under the glove. ' ' '
