Confidence scale beating OSU: preseason and now

On a scale of 1-5 (low to high), what was your confidence during the preseason of Michigan beating OSU this year?

What is your level of confidence now?

My answers are 3 and 4.5

Before Tressel was fired/Pryor went to NFL: 1.1
After Tressel was fired/Pryor went to NFL: 3
Today: 4.5

We may not like Pryor, but its pretty obvious he made an enormous difference between OSU being a BCS team and OSU being a Pizza Bowl team the last couple of years. The whole episode demonstrates just how important he was to that team (maybe why Tressel decided to throw his career away for him.

It's all John Navarre's fault.

Listening to the Ohio radio broadcast yesterday I noticed that their announcers were discussing his good day (which was something like 7 of 17 for 89 yards)

Braxton Miller is *not* going to like the blitz packages and high level RPS that Mattison will throw at Bollman. Without Pryor's improvisational abilities and Herron behind a once very good offensive line Ohio has become Purdue. I expect Saturday's outcome to be no different than the Purdue game...except with more emotion and desire.

I dunno...  He may not be that good throwing the ball, but from what I've seen out of Braxton he's extremely hard to pin down, even when he's outnumbered in the pocket. He's going to frustrate us at least a few times, and we're going to have to play disciplined football to make sure he doesn't bust any long runs on us, or complete 3rd downs to keep drives alive.

I still think we win this one, just not sure it's going to be a Purdue-style cakewalk.

Braxton plays like shit on the road, and everyone in that stadium will be in his head come Saturday.  He hasn't completed 50% of his passes since Wisconsin, and our defense will be more than ready for his dual-threat capability since we faced Martinez and Scheelhase in consecutive weeks, and Denard daily.

Just worried about getting over the mental hump. I firmly believe that if we could be 11-0. MSU was more physical and we just laid an egg at Iowa. We've got these douche bags at home and they're limping, but I'm still nervous about Saturday.
