Devin Funchess is a massive physical specimen who packs a lot of power inside that Hulk-like frame.

You don’t need to tell this poor bugger from Appalachian State how strong Funchess is. He found out first hand when Funchess stiffed armed him to the turf while scoring a touchdown.
Yes, that is Devin Funchess. The #1 is a new thing for him this year. His number may be slimmed down but he is still as big and strong as ever.
The Wolverines went up 14-0 early on Appalachian State in this one and appear to be on their way to a walk-over. So I don’t think we have to worry about a repeat of the notorious 2007 upset.
Devin Gardner-to-Devin Funchess is going to be a fun one for Big Ten fans to watch all year. Well, fun for Michigan fans anyway. I don’t think fans of other Big Ten schools are going to enjoy that combo at all.
I know defensive backs aren’t going to enjoy it. Not if Funchess keeps stiff arming them into the turf like rag dolls. Better strap it on if you’re going to try to tackle Mr. Funchess.
