Case of the Mundys: Still Pinching Myself Edition, 9/18/06

​Which would you prefer, Big Ten offensive player of the week or Big Ten defensive player of the week? Relax indecisive Wolverine fan, this week you get both. That's right, high school teammates Mario Manningham and Prescott Burgess nabbed Big Ten player of the week honors on offense and defense respectively following Michigan's 47-21 pasting of the Fighting Irish in South Bend.
