ORLANDO - Lloyd Carr must have delivered one heck of a pregame speech. The Michigan offense just drove 93 yards on 12 plays on the opening series to take a 7-0 lead over UF at the Capital One Bowl.
The score came when quarterback Chad Henne connected with - who else? - Mario Manningham for a 21-yard bullett pass.
UF had kept Manningham quiet in the passing game for the entire series before the score, as freshman cornerback Joe Haden played shut-down coverage.
But, on the scoring play, Haden wasn't covering Michigan's top wideout.
Instead, Manningham beat No. 2 corner Wondy Pierre-Louis and a late-arriving free safety Major Wright.
