I hope Michigan saw Manny Diaz trolling and use on a late game TD celebration. I  am nervous about this game but I think Michigan comes out ready! 

 

31-17

I think the B10 Office wants Michigan to lose so they stop catching grief over the bullshit scandal.

I think they are going to have the refs do their dirty work.

Michigan, the least penalized team in the country by a SIZABLE margin, will suddenly commit numerous holding and pass interference penalties.  So odd and unexpected!

Penn State 27

Michigan 23

BPONE is back.

I don't think PSU will get shutout.

But I do think Drew Allar and PSU fans are going to have a bad time.

With two very aggressive and talented defenses on the field, this forces viewers to consider the team with the better OL and better QB are more likely to make the big plays and be victorious.

That's decidedly NOT Penn State this year.

30-13, Michigan.

Let's get at least 175 yd rushing and 325 passing.

JJ passes for 1TD and rushes for a TD himself.

Donovan finally breaks one to the house.

Brian's line about PSU during this morning's roundtable was a classic: "They're Iowa with a finished basement!"

Translating that resonant statement into a score: Michigan 44, PSU 12.

We're gonna run JJ a couple times early, make their D account for him in order to open things up for Corum and Edwards, and then hit several play action shots downfield.

Seems like a great way to discharge some pent up anger and resentment while we're at it.

I love the optimism.   I don't completely share it.   PSU's defense is absolutely legit.   And while their offense hasn't been explosive it has plenty of weapons and talent.   It's a road game (ironically, UM has played better on the road than at home this season) and Happy Valley is a difficult venue.   I see this as a slugfest.

 

27-23 UM wins.

I don't see PSU offense scoring more than 24 on our defense. If our offense can move the ball and score, I could see a 31-20 type game. The only way I could see PSU winning is if Michigan commits a lot of turn overs and JJ does not have a good game, but that is a reach.

14-6 Michigan. 

We cover and win relatively easily because PSU's offense isn't better than any other we've faced, but Penn State turns it into a rock fight. Our offense struggles (relative to the season thus far) against a solid defense, which causes consternation among fans.

30-6. PSU's defense is for real, but I think Allar's game last week was an aberration. Some costly interceptions or fumbles by him puts their defense in tough spots over and over and Michigan takes advantage of those opportunities.

I wanna pound these guys, badly.  Not because I have venom of Frankin or PSU, but because I want to watch a full-on panic in Columbus for what awaits them in three weeks.

So if we could win like 45-10 or something like that, I'd be appreciative.
