It'll be a slog because all these games are annoying.  Michigan will pull away.  38-10 Michigan.  And MSU fans will have a litany of excuses about how UM won't ever beat OSU because they've gotten to "vicarious victories" stage of life.

52-10, similar to last year except Michigan avoids more than a FG due to last week's mayhem and MSU's malleable defense and McNamara is in in the third and maybe even Villari which keeps Michigan's score around 50

42-24 with MSU scoring late.

MSU scores first because they always do.

Mel Tucker acts like a whiny baby postgame about Michigan players’ arrogance and lack of sportsmanship to endear himself to his fanbase and people on this board finally decide it’s time to dump on Mel Tucker.

Edit: I didn’t even clarify who wins...although I think it’s obvious.

84–0

Milton passes for 300 w/ 5 TDs in first half.

Starters pulled at half when 49–0, but OL is left in to continue practicing run-block cohesion, and we do another 250 on the ground, just in the second half, to the tune of 5 more TDs

Benny tweets his commitment during the third quarter, no longer waiting for Nov 9.

Sparty team captain says, "guess we really were the little brother today" during the postgame.

Mel puts on a brave face and continues to say "the team down the road," as if word games are some sort of moral victory.

Michigan 56, MSU 10

Milton line: 17/26 260 Yds, 2 TD, 8 Rush 70 Yds TD, sits the 4th quarter

Wilson scores on a 50+ yarder. Bell finds the end-zone

Theo Day replaces Rocky Lombardi and doesn't give the job back

52-7

I just can't see MSU scoring during any meaningful game time, so it'll be some garbage time garbage against freshmen and sophomores gaining experience.  Offensively, Milton will get exposed to some more complicated passing trees, including downfield stuff.  He'll connect on a bunch because he has several minutes in the pocket to sort it out.  Michigan's run game will hit 300-some yards.  Dan Villari will get a few minutes of mop up time.

This game won't be competitive.  Mel Tucker will begin to realize the depth of institutional indignation required to compete in this game.  Several flags will be thrown on his players for attempts to injure.

I think game will be close in the first half. Too much hype for Michigan right now and msu will come out decently. 24-13 at half with a final score of 45-24 UM

38-13 Michigan

Lombardi isn't great, but he can at least throw the ball down field better than Lewerke's broken shoulder could and they have a couple good/decent WRs. Looking to see how Green follows up his good Minnesota game and if Gray can do better. That and covering guys in the flat on pick plays and tackle in space. The problem with throwing the ball down the field is that they need their OL to hold up for 2-3 seconds and I don't think they can do that (without holding).

I agree with Seth regarding their game last week. Rutgers is still Rutgers. They're still bad. MSU is slightly less bad but couldn't hold onto the ball to save their lives. I think MSU, if they can hold onto the ball, looks a little less incompetent, but still bad.

We also need to see if the offensive output from last week was more of a result of the coaches scheming Michigan into winnable scenarios or if Milton really is up for going through multiple reads and making precise throws (if MSU can cover long enough).

52-17 the good guys. UM is vastly superior and not sure how MSU can score 17 points, but UM is probably due for a busted coverage and turnover or something in our own territory with backups playing.

45-10

Probably one of those games that feels close for longer than it should due to expectations of a blowout. Probably something like 21-7 at the half. We roll them to close out and get the back ups in for the 4th quarter. They score a late moral victory FG.
