Hoosier predictions anyone?
Ok. Let's see what's on your minds... Your predictions please.
1. Who wins the game? What is the final score?
2. Denard's passing and rushing yards? (Shouldn't we be calling these Denyards?)
3. Indiana's total yards?
4. How many times will Michigan punt?
5. How many Michigan field goal attempts? (notice I didn't say "made")
EDIT: "running and rushing"? Nice! What I meant was "passing and rushing" - correction made.
September 28th, 2010 at 8:18 PM ^
but the fact it was the very first reply was deflating. Well played. Let me piggyback on your post by providing the full video clip which IMO never gets old.
September 28th, 2010 at 10:06 PM ^
I wonder how many other people thought of this right off the bat. Classic.
September 28th, 2010 at 5:36 PM ^
Michigan wins: Mich: Alot IU: Alot but a little less than Michigan
Denard has over 150 rushing.
Indiana's yards: more than 450
Michigan will punt 3 times
1 field goal attempted. 1 field goal made (yes, I am calling it)
September 28th, 2010 at 5:45 PM ^
I will be very sad.
September 29th, 2010 at 1:41 AM ^
but full of win! I was expecting an alot full of yards. (from http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/)
September 28th, 2010 at 5:36 PM ^
MICH 52 IU 21
Denard has 213 yards rushing and 250 passing
Indiana puts up 320 total yards
Michigan doesn't punt once
1 field goal attempt and we make it.
September 29th, 2010 at 9:50 PM ^
sounds about right.
September 28th, 2010 at 5:39 PM ^
Points on the board. Points on the board. Lookin like a fool, with points on the board.
September 28th, 2010 at 5:48 PM ^
Michigan 77 Indiana 70. Thankfully M scores late in regulation to win, avoiding OT and the possibility of both teams reaching triple digits.
Denard will have 244 yards running and another 206 rushing, plus another 340 yards passing, setting a single game record that will likely last until the Illini game.
Indiana 962 total yards
zero and zero punts and field goals
September 28th, 2010 at 6:31 PM ^
Not sure we'll get 77 but I'm willing to predict that our football team outscores our basketball team during their visits to Bloomington this year.
September 28th, 2010 at 5:39 PM ^
1. 42-17 Michigan
2. 150 rush, 180 passing for denard.....another 180 other rushing
3. 325
4. 2
5. 0.5
September 28th, 2010 at 5:41 PM ^
Mich 49 IU 17
September 28th, 2010 at 5:42 PM ^

2. Denard's running and rushing yards? (Shouldn't we be calling these Denyards?) 204
3. Indiana's total yards? 412
4. How many times will Michigan punt? Two
5. How many Michigan field goal attempts? (notice I didn't say "made") One
September 28th, 2010 at 11:46 PM ^
I was going to pick 45-34 until I realized that would require a Michigan field goal...which I don't think would happen under any normal circumstances.
September 28th, 2010 at 5:42 PM ^
42-28, M
September 28th, 2010 at 5:45 PM ^
Predicting a win. Never take a road Big Ten game for granted so take any win, but quite confident.
I'll leave the stats to the rest of the gang.
September 28th, 2010 at 5:45 PM ^
I won't try to answer all your requests but I will say this" 1.) M will win and put up 49+ points (the Indiana defense really SUCKS, 2.) Indiana will put up no more than 35 points on the M defense. Ergo, M will win by at least 14 ponts.
September 28th, 2010 at 5:45 PM ^
All 3 QB's play and all 3 torch the hoosiers. Denard murders them for 3 quarters with 145 rushing and 210 passing.
1 fg made 2 missed
3 punts
Indiana gets 350 tops.
September 28th, 2010 at 5:46 PM ^
Michigan will win 75-63. Denard will rush for 286 on 19 carries, and throw for 318 (23-29 comp).
Obi Ezeh will miss an assignment.
September 28th, 2010 at 5:52 PM ^
You sure are going out on a limb on that last prediction.
September 28th, 2010 at 7:18 PM ^
Cam Gordon will take a bad angle.
September 28th, 2010 at 5:49 PM ^
The M defense has allowed an average of 23 ppg thru the 1st 4 games. I'm hoping that M can hold them under 30.
September 28th, 2010 at 5:51 PM ^
Eddie George predicts IU beats us 50-48.. No big surprise there.. He says they have an unreal offense and their D is overall better than ours..
After watching indiana play akron, which they should of lost if Akron had the slightest ability to catch a football.
Indiana will score less than 30, and we will score over 45.
They can't pass the whole game.. Their rushing has been pathetic against terrible teams
September 28th, 2010 at 6:06 PM ^
What makes you think that IU can't pass the whole game? They have more passing yards in 3 games then we do in 4 and our secondary isn't exactly the greatest thing since sliced bread so I am very worried if we don't get pressure on Chappel then he is going to pick us apart all day long. Chappel is a senior and appears to be much better then he was last year. Don't sleep on the Hoosiers, they're better then we're giving them credit for.
September 28th, 2010 at 6:33 PM ^
Senior quarterbacks are always dangerous. Especially on the road.
September 28th, 2010 at 7:11 PM ^
What i was referring to was they will just become so predictable if they can't run. Watching their game against Akron was pretty pathetic. Chappell threw 4 TD's, but was less than stellar. His players were completely wide open on every pass, I know our D is rough, but I doubt we leave them that wide open.
They also could hardly run against Akron's D.
I don't doubt they could come out firing, but i doubt they hang with us the whole game
September 29th, 2010 at 10:58 AM ^
with "screen pass". Same idea. I predict that you will see more wide open hoosiers. A shootout for sure but I think Um can come out on top. I will say that I will be interested in TOP. If UM can keep the ball for sustained drives to keep IU off the field. If IU can do the same to the UM D, that could end up being trouble.
September 28th, 2010 at 5:52 PM ^
1. Michigan wins 49-21
2. Denard rushes for 219 yards
3. Indiana total yards: 386
4. Michigan punts Once
5. One field goal attempt
September 28th, 2010 at 5:54 PM ^
42-30.
September 28th, 2010 at 7:20 PM ^
I see your 42-30, and raise you to 42-31. Call?
September 30th, 2010 at 12:40 PM ^
Well, considering the line and over/under predict 43-32, I will raise to that.
September 28th, 2010 at 5:57 PM ^
I predict....
1. They'll show the clip of Bill Lynch throwing his gum last year 2-3 times.
2. Pam Ward will mention that Indiana had 500 yards of offense against us last year.
3. Someone will mention that our defense is weak and inexperienced at least several times.
I never predict scores. But I'm hoping for a blowout. After last year's game with Indiana, all I could think was, "We're in big trouble." This year, I want to go into the game against Sparty with much more confidence.
September 29th, 2010 at 1:45 AM ^
September 28th, 2010 at 5:57 PM ^
and yelling
September 28th, 2010 at 5:57 PM ^
Molk hits someone really hard.
September 30th, 2010 at 12:53 PM ^
I'm okay with this.
September 28th, 2010 at 5:59 PM ^
1. Who wins the game? What is the final score?
UM 49 Ind 24
2. Denard's running and rushing yards?
160 rushing, 210 passing
3. Indiana's total yards?
M: 340 rushing, 210 passing
Ind: 60 rushing, 300 passing
4. How many times will Michigan punt?
3
5. How many Michigan field goal attempts? (notice I didn't say "made")
0
September 28th, 2010 at 6:02 PM ^
56-27
Denard puts up 248 yards rushing, 212 yards passing
Indianna has 345 total yards
We punt twice, once well, and once....not so well
No field goal attempts
September 28th, 2010 at 6:00 PM ^
IU almost beat us last year at home, and their offense is very tough to prepare for so I shall predict.
IU dominates this game early and mgonation panics. Michigan dominates the second half and wins on the last drive
M - 37 IU - 30
September 28th, 2010 at 6:05 PM ^
Michigan wins, 45-21.
September 28th, 2010 at 6:10 PM ^
Dave Chappelle throws 6 picks to Michigan D.
September 28th, 2010 at 6:49 PM ^
Indeed. I think Dave Chappelle is overrated... he hasn't accomplished much to date. He lacks consistency IMO.
September 28th, 2010 at 7:14 PM ^
Yeah, if he's lucky he'll be a janitor... and by janitor i mean master of the custodial arts.
September 29th, 2010 at 11:40 AM ^
Dave Chappelle has great success through two quarters, but after only a few plays in the third the success has messed with his head and he disappears from the game. He quits football, and returns to his previous stand-up comedy act.
September 28th, 2010 at 6:15 PM ^
- Michigan wins. Final score: 38-35. I think Indiana is a better team than a lot of people are giving them credit for. I think Chappel and his receivers are going to give our young secondary fits.
- Denard (assuming he plays the whole game) will have 160 on the ground, with 2 TDs and 250 in the air, with 3 more TDs.
- Indiana will rack up 375 yards in the air, and another 75 on the ground.
- We will punt twice.
- 3 field goal attempts, 1 of them good.
September 28th, 2010 at 6:17 PM ^
I think along the lines of 42-31, give or take 3 on both of those since trying to predict field goals is damn near impossible with this team.
Denard goes for like 175 rushing, 225 passing for a total of around 400 DenYards.
IU puts up around 400 yards.
3 Punts
1 Field Goal attempt
September 28th, 2010 at 6:20 PM ^
It's going to be Michigan.
September 28th, 2010 at 6:20 PM ^
Michigan 59-21 (U-M leads 31-7 at halftime, and after an opening 3rd quarter score, Denard sits out the remainder of the game)
155 rushing, 165 passing
IU will end up with 350 yards
Michigan will punt once
Michigan will attempt and make one field goal in the first half
