UM 36-10. Sparty fans claim moral victory for holding Michigan to fewer points than the Gophers.
October 30th, 2020 at 10:06 AM ^
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.
October 30th, 2020 at 1:57 PM ^
Wrong. MSU fans would never use the word “vicarious” in a sentence. ?

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
October 30th, 2020 at 10:08 AM ^
56-9 UM
Bold Prediction:
UM goes for two early (2nd or 3rd TD because MSU leaves it wide open) and Nordin connects on 2/3 fgs, one over 50 yds.
October 30th, 2020 at 10:27 AM ^
I say the good guys a whole bunch to the mouthy little dickheads not very many.
October 30th, 2020 at 10:08 AM ^
59-10. MSU scores a FG on opening drive. Michigan scores 59 unanswered. MSU scores a late moral victory TD.
October 30th, 2020 at 10:15 AM ^
Sounds absolutely the most plausible.
October 30th, 2020 at 10:11 AM ^

October 30th, 2020 at 10:15 AM ^
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.
October 30th, 2020 at 10:36 AM ^
I'm thinking the same way: 42-21
MSU scores early due to a couple of quirks. Later, Rocky gets lucky with our weak secondary a couple of times. The overall outcome is never really in doubt.
October 30th, 2020 at 11:55 AM ^
Agreed. I think MSU will score first and last.

UM wins 52-10
UM has 350 yards on the ground and 300 passing as we grind their defense into atoms
October 30th, 2020 at 10:16 AM ^
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.
October 30th, 2020 at 10:43 AM ^
I love your analysis and will adopt it as my own. Since I took that scoreline, you should bump yours to 91-0 on a returned punt or defensive score.

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
October 30th, 2020 at 10:26 AM ^
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.
October 30th, 2020 at 10:27 AM ^
Michigan ~350, MSU 0
Will be holding steadfast to that dream until it happens.
October 30th, 2020 at 10:28 AM ^
Defeat without dignity. 55-6. After a late TD, MSU fails on a 2pt attempt.
Milton throws for 5tds to 5 different players.

October 30th, 2020 at 10:33 AM ^
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
October 30th, 2020 at 10:39 AM ^
How does msu score their 11 points in the 2nd half?
October 30th, 2020 at 10:50 AM ^
Field goal, TD and 2 point conversion to make a “statement” only thing I could think of...
October 30th, 2020 at 12:53 PM ^
Well, Mork and Peppers are gone so they might actually be successful in a 2 pt attempt.

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).
October 30th, 2020 at 10:40 AM ^
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.
October 30th, 2020 at 10:41 AM ^
Michigan 56-17
October 30th, 2020 at 10:41 AM ^

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.
October 30th, 2020 at 10:43 AM ^
51-13 Michigan.
A Rushing Rutger will be recorded by the UM defense.
