UM-PSU Score Predictions

Michigan 31
Penn State 20

Penn State played Indiana without their starting QB or RB. I wonder if those two players were any good?

They lost to Northwestern.

They got clobbered by four touchdowns against OSU.

They squeaked by Maryland by one point.

While they may be a talented team, their resume does not instill the same fear or worry that Indiana or MSU did or OSU does. Michigan will take care of business.

Penn states offensive line is bad, really bad. I think we'll be able to keep them under 21-24 points. They've got a scent defense but I think Newdock is able to use his Newskills and we will break 30-35 points.

56-3 GO BLUE

Do not fear we get back on track 34-14. Go blue

21-12

OP's, OP.

Michigan wins 33 - 20. Hackenburg knocked out of game in the 3rd by Willie Henry.

I had fear at first, then I heard a stat (believe on WTKA) that there are only like four teams in the entire country that play fewer possessions on offense than Penn St. It all kind of clicked in my head after that.

We are not going to need the kind of defensive depth that we needed on Saturday; guys won't be gassed in the first quarter. This also means that Peppers won't need to take all of his 100 snaps on just defense, so it will be the perfect time to 3-way the heck out of him.

 

27

I appreciate the OP's concern on this matter. Everytime we seem to think we're going to win a game, it turns into a nerve-wrecking WTF moment. I'm glad the OP did this to break any jinxes we may have going on (I'M LOOKING AT YOU BRAIN PLZ INCREASE THE FEAR LEVEL KKTHX BYE)

will be Rudock. If he can play the way hed did at IU, then I think we win sort of easy. If the PSU pressure gets to him and he makes mistakes it will be one of those close nail biting games. Last week and the MN game just stressed me out! I hope we win and I'm going with the confident Rudock. Michigan 38 - PSU 27.

17-13, good guys. 

M wins by 13.

I could see this going either way. If Rudock plays like he's been playing, Michigan is in good shape to walk out with a win. The defense won't be as severely tested this week as they were against IU, and the tempo of PSU's offense will be MUCH slower. That is a welcome relief.

But it's a senior day white out in Happy Valley. This also has the making of one of those games where Hackenberg plays somewhat decent for most of the game, makes some good throws and some bad throws, and then inexplicably leads a brilliant 4th quarter game winning drive to derail any hope of us playing for a BTT.

Neither outcome would surprise me, but I'll say 31-21 with someone pulling away in the last 3-4 mins to put the game on ice. And because I'm a friggin' homer, I'll say that someone is Michigan.

Franklin and PSU are starving for some kind of "marquee" win that shows their program is on the up and up. Beating Harbaugh and a top-15 ranked Michigan squad would do just that.

I think after last week, the team probably had a lot of players held accountable in the film room and practice field. I'll bet this week the tackling is much better. 31-0

I'm going old school (as in 1869 Rutgers/Princeton)...Michigan beats Penn State 6-4

33-21 Meechigan

Hack will give the secondary plenty of chances to make game changing plays. Will they capitalize on his mistakes? I think that will play the biggest role in a W.
