That's less than I expected. I'll be surprised if its that close.
October 15th, 2017 at 6:14 PM ^
The point spread, our offense, in Happy Valley, dropping in the AP Poll... everything points to getting crushed on Saturday night but weird shit happens at night!

Is there an O/U? It would seem illogical to bet on Penn State scoring more than 20 or to bet on us scoring less than 10. For that reason, regardless of whether you think we will win the game, wouldn't you take Michigan here? Unless our defense totally crumbles, or their defense holds us to under 10 for the first time in the history of the series, I think it makes sense to bet on us to cover.

This board has been bashing Franklin for the last year.
Brian and his misled groupies included. I Never could see it. So he kicked a FG, big deal.
Time to put up or shut up. I say M to WIN.
Nothing to do w Franklin, ALL to Do about M.

Jump on them early and play field position and win the battle of turnovers.
If JOK starts slinging it, 10.5 won't be enough to cover.

Sometimes the turnovers drive the outcome and sometimes the situation (like trying to come from behind) drives turnovers. I expect a very low number of passes and hence very low picks UNLESS we fall significantly behind, then the expected number of attempts and picks go up markedly.

"He's put up good yardage against sub par defenses... We've faced better backs in recent memory, imo. Barkley is a talented kid but he's no Zeke Elliott. I think we'll be just fine defensively - it's the offense that has us all worried"
Remember telling my son when he was a freshman that he'd be the best back in the BIG in two years. He is all of that. Cat is big, catches passes, blocks, jukes people. As fast as Zeke
October 15th, 2017 at 7:49 PM ^
That is without question. Also think he is the top offensive player. But, he is not proven to be a generational talent or anything and this Michigan defense is up to the task.
The reason we are even double digit dogs is the UM offense. EVERYONE knows that. How can you disagree?
October 15th, 2017 at 7:51 PM ^
He's faster than Zeke actually. He's great, I agree. He does everything except perform against Michigan.

I watched him play like Denard against subpar defenses. The only good defense he lit up was USC in the Rose Bowl and I am not sold that it was a very good defence.
Also, I watched him get shut down by the same Indiana rush defense that Michigan gashed.
He is probably the best player in the Big Ten, but Michigan is strong against the run. He will do okay, but simply pointing to him to claim it will be a multiple TD loss is.... wait for it... obtuse.
October 16th, 2017 at 11:43 AM ^
"Also, I watched him get shut down by the same Indiana rush defense that Michigan gashed."
He had 221 yards of total offense in that game.

I don't think there's a universe where we win comfortably. More probable is the game comes down to Nordin having to kick a sizeable FG for the win. And I'd be totally cool with that.
October 15th, 2017 at 6:53 PM ^
Nordin nails a 50 yarder as time expires for the win? Yeah, I'd take that!
October 15th, 2017 at 7:19 PM ^
October 15th, 2017 at 7:48 PM ^
and somehow wins. We have BALLERS on Defense, Higdon, with DPJ , who made some nice plays, about to emerge. Play action gonna work next week.

Big underdog on the road in a tough environment. Harbaugh has them right where he wants them.

going all the way back to the Schembechler era. We're a much better road dog.

When do you think I should start drinking Saturday so it won't hurt so bad?
Our defense is nat' champ level and our kicker, but our offense and else is mid-level. So sad.
October 15th, 2017 at 9:58 PM ^
Tuesday morning should be good.
October 15th, 2017 at 7:00 PM ^
As bleak as this game looks I will say I like when Michigan is an underdog.
Doesn't happen often and may give them a little chip. Everyone keeps talking about how great PSU is and how bad Michigan is. Let them keep saying that this week.
and another interesting note is O'Korn is from Central Pennsylvania. so maybe a little extra motivation there.
Go Blue.

"Why? When was the last time Michigan won as an underdog? Never under Harbaugh right?"
the year he guaranteed a victory over OSU as a player. So that'd be one. Think we were dogs to FL in /15 too, no?

When you have the best unit on the field, there's always a chance. If Michigan puts up 17 plus, we win.
Penn State 17-10
