The same progression other teams have. Stop run at all costs. If speight is making throws blitz to see if he can handle pressure. As long as we don't turn it over eventually we will make adjustments and win. This game is all about line of scrimmage and limiting turnovers. That's it. Michigan by 14.

I mean I understand that people aren't as impressed with lsu or msu as originally expected but if we had that resume, I think people would have different attitudes about them

If people watched those games and then watched the games also played by LSU and ND the rest of the season so far, they should not. It's a resume in name only based on past performance of those opponents. I mean, hell LSU should have lost to Jacksonville State. That's not to say that I'm not concerned about Wisconsin, just not for "resume" reasons.

Harbaugh has not opened the playbook with serious intent as of yet. He ran the same play nine times in a row yesterday. He has barely deployed Peppers so far this year, and with Rutgers, a bye, and Illinois ahead, I very much believe he will open the playbook wide next Saturday. This is a marquee opportunity, and he will hold nothing back. There is no one who schemes better against an althletically limited team like Wisconsin.

Expect Peppers, weird TE stuff, and all manner of devilry on offense.

I think we should be underdogs. We haven't beaten anyone solid and struggled against the one mildly tough opponent. Wisconsin beat LSU and steamrolled Staee like i could never have imagined. I watched the game and they are legit playoff contender. Their only weakness seems to be kicking

That line is vegas begging everyone to take wisconsin.

I think it means we win by two touchdowns.

Vegas knows people like to take michigan, so they know they will get action from our end.  The +9 is to get the sharps and pragmatics who see wisconsin as a solid team that should hang with us. 

seriously, I think this means we win by double digits.

This will be a really interesting game. It comes down to which young QB plays better in my opinion. Both run games will be shut down, and I expect a few turnovers. Will be something like 24-17.

They pressured T O'C constantly on Saturday.  I don't think they score more than 20 or so on us, but don't discount their D.  I also noticed that O'C overthrows a lot of balls when he's pressured...this is NOT Connor Cook. 

OL needs to protect Speight, and Harbaugh needs to scheme to keep him as clean as possible.  We've seen several ill-advised throws from Speight when he's pressured.  This will not be a cake-walk.  Nine points feels about right to me.

I'm not buying the Wisconsin hype at all.  They beat LSU...who appears to suck.  They also beat MSU, who struggled with Furman and beat the shitty MSU squad that showed up Saturday.

They have maybe a handful of guys that would make our roster.  They took advantage of some mistakes by Sparty and got lucky.  That's about it.

Their world is going to stop spinning on Saturday.
