ANN ARBOR - Rich Rodriguez has changed his stance and now believes the punch thrown last week by University of Michigan linebacker Jonas Mouton that landed under the helmet of a Notre Dame player should be punished.

Rodriguez also wouldn't mind aiding the Big Ten in determining penalties for future unsportsmanlike actions.

Mouton was suspended for Saturday's 45-17 win over Eastern Michigan after video surfaced last week of him striking Notre Dame center Eric Olsen in the chin. Rodriguez downplayed the incident when speaking to reporters Wednesday, to the point he became agitated. Following yesterday's game, though, Rodriguez admitted a personal foul should have been called. But that's as apologetic as he got.

"I will tell you in my conversation with [Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany] we will watch every Big Ten game closely and any non-football act, whether it's a six-inch jab, or anything that's not called for in the game of football, we're going to ask that that person get the same type of punishment Jonas Mouton got. And I'm sure the league will do that."

That is not a mere threat either, as Rodriguez already has an incident in mind he'd like to report to the league office.

"I saw a Big Ten game in the locker room [yesterday]. It was the end of the game and a guy jumped on someone on the last play of the game and gave him [a forearm shot]," Rodriguez said. "Is that a nonfootball act? Probably. That may be turned in."

Asked what he thought of yesterday's officiating, Rodriguez, whose team was penalized just twice for 20 yards, took issue with a pass interference call against Boubacar Cissoko when it appeared to almost everyone - in the stadium and in the press box - that

Cissoko was actually the victim of a shove by EMU receiver Johnny Sears.

"I wasn't sure that was a penalty," Rodriguez said. "I'll watch the film, but I don't know if the film can get me a better judgment of what I saw or what you all saw."

The penalty prolonged an EMU drive, which culminated in a field goal.

LOOKING FOR MORE: Denard Robinson, the incredible runner, is still Denard Robinson, the unpolished passer. Robinson ran for two second half touchdowns - of 13 and 36 yards - but misfired on his four passing attempts, throwing two interceptions. Concerns that Robinson is a one-trick pony are not yet unfounded as he's just 2-of-8 on the year for 18 yards. His first interception seemed to stem from a poor decision and a softly thrown pass. Robinson overthrew a receiver on a deep pass for his second pick.

"I know coach has got confidence in me. I just made a couple of mistakes," Robinson said. "I wasn't thinking right. Next time I'll probably get better."

As for reaction to overtones that he's not a complete quarterback, Robinson said, "I'm not trying to prove anything to anybody."

CONTINGENCY PLANS: Starting right guard David Moosman (shoulder) did not play, and Rodriguez said he hopes the senior will be back for Saturday's Big Ten opener against Indiana. Should Moosman need another week off, though, the situation at offensive line becomes a tricky one as center David Molk injured his foot against EMU. Moosman is next in line at center, meaning the team's top two centers could be out. Freshman Rocko Khoury is option No. 3.

John Ferrara started in place of Moosman.

"We've got guys who've been practicing all through camp, and they're ready to step in," left guard Stephen Schilling said.

SHORT YARDS: Alex

Gillett, a true freshman quarterback from Clyde, completed 2-of-4 attempts for nine yards and rushed six times for 36 yards. … Clay graduate Jordan Kovacs registered six tackles. He played on first-team defense in the second half after Mike Williams left with an injury. Williams later returned. … Defensive tackle Will Campbell, one of UM's most heralded true freshmen, played for the first time and had a tackle.
