I'm about 10 minutes from leaving to head over to the stadium. Weather is perfect and at least where I'm staying the USC fans outnumber is about 5-1.
I'm saying 27-17 Michigan cause Denard runs wild in his farewell game and (god willing) we don't turn the ball over.
I'm heading in. Go fucking BLUE!

Go Fucking Blue!
Go Fucking Blue!
well said. Have fun today.
I don't think we will win, but I think we can; for me it comes down to the offenses ability to score touchdowns. I think the first team to 24 wins this game and the game could turn on a special teams play (lets hope its our return for a touchdown).
If I had to bet my first born I would say USC (NTUSC) 27 Michigan 23
If I had nothign to lose i would say Michigan 31 USC(NTUSC) 10
like Is said, have fun today!
We are the dead.

I know that's kind of a trite thing to say, but for some reason, I think it's actually going to have more of an impact on today's game than usual. We win an ugly, close game that comes down to making a big stop late in the fourth.
Michigan - 20
USC - 17

That would be awesome! But
That would be awesome! But having a blocking TE in next to Schofield will probably be gameplan. On othe sets we should have a FB blocking this tremendous pass rushing team. Maybe Brandon Moore will show up and give all the extra help we need. Having those blockers obviously limits the amount of recievers on the field.
Tradition is something you cannot bottle. To hell with Ohio.

I believe South Caralina is a
I believe South Caralina is a legit top 10 team. Michigan is barely A top 25 team. We only beat two decent teams all year. Our offensive line is very average and that's going to be exploited by a very good Gamecock defensive line. However, I think Deven Gardner will handle the rush and complete some passes against this agressive defense. Look for Michigan to score some points. South Caralina will probably score more than you think. Our secondary makes me nervous. Michigan 34 South Caralina 33. Remember this a bowl game and sometimes the defenses don't show up.
January 1st, 2013 at 11:37 AM |
UM!
UM!
Defenses stand strong as they only allow a few fieldgoals. Then the offenses find a way to work through both defenses. After UM turns the ball over on a costly fumble at a tied 20-20 game, Ryan puts a huge rush on the QB to force a bad throw. We get the ball back with under minute, a few passes to gallon and a screen to #16 puts Gibbons in FG range. He nails it as the clock runs out.
23-20 Michigan

Has nothing to with Borges-still about the same ineffective OL
One of the fundamental responsibilities of any coach in any sport is to minimize your weaknesses and take maximum advantage of your strengths. You're certainly right about the nature of our OL, but that's exactly why Borges' game-planning has been so wanting. If your OL has trouble in straight-ahead run blocking and your regular RBs are not particularly shifty or fleet of foot, why in God's name would you keep Denard—the one player who has shown any ability to gain yardage with very few holes—on the bench for a significant part of your main rivalry game? Why would you make such little use of a tight end who is a matchup nightmare for virtually every DB or LB who tries to cover him?

Everyone loved the Borges
Everyone loved the Borges
Everyone loved the Borges game plan when it worked against Iowa. The truth is we don't have players in the trenches to beat teams with better talent especially if we have turnovers. Even last year we had problems (Molk and Martin really made a difference) and could have lost to ND and VT without the ball bouncing our way.

So the Wolverines will send out a QB to make his fifth start, be without their starting RB and feature an OL that has, with one exception, not distinguished itself to line-up against a pretty highly ranked defense...and if they don't win it will be the fault of Borges?

9 carries, 55 yards, 6.1 yards/carry.

The numbers suggest that the play calls for Denard were effective. You can't just run outside every time. It seems that people are acting like Borges could have called the same play 25 times and it would have worked every time. A couple plays didn't work for Denard, but 122 yards and 1 touchdown on just 10 carries is pretty darn good, no matter how you slice it.

No it wasn't. After the 1st half everyone knew he was not able to throw the ball. Do you know the 1st half v 2nd half breakdown of his carries from the QB position?
Shit, look at the quotes from OSU players after the game. They were told Denard wasn't passing the ball. When he lines up at QB there's no one else to pass the ball on the field
I got the shotgun. You got the briefcase. It's all in the game though, right?

2ND HALF: 6 yards, -2 yards, 0 yards, 1 yard
So he had 3 carries that didn't work well and then he was reportedly too injured to continue.
The other 7 gained him 121 yards and a touchdown.
Early blunder by SC gets us going, Lewan neutralizes Clowney for all but one play and Roundtree continues his late year rise.
