Offensive Lineman's Dream: Pancake Breakfast

Years from now, Perry Dorrestein will have the video clip to show his children and grandchildren.

In Michigan's 28-24 victory over Notre Dame last Saturday, the former Plainfield Central standout delivered a block captured by NBC television cameras that will grow in legend, no doubt, at least in his household. Moving down the line from right to left, Dorrestein gained an angle on Irish linebacker Manti Te'o and dropped Te'o to the turf.

Pancaked him, in fact.

Dorrestein, Michigan's fifth-year senior starter at right tackle, helped the Wolverines control the line of scrimmage for much of the day. Michigan rushed for 288 yards against the Irish.

Heading into Saturday's game against UMass, the Wolverines rank  seventh nationally in rushing, thanks in no small part to Dorrestein's work up front and the emergence of sophomore quarterback Denard Robinson. Kickoff is at 11:01 a.m. (CDT) in Ann Arbor.

Dorrestein, 6-7, 305, has started 14 games for the Wolverines during his career, including the first two this season. He was named as a game captain in UM's 30-10 victory over UConn. The crowd for the rededication game at The Big House on Sept. 4 was 113,090, the largest in NCAA history.
