For those concerned about night games what is your plan for the College Football Playoff if we ever make it? 

If you can't show up for a night game at home or on the road the night games aren't the ones to blame. 

It's a great chance to play a great time on a huge stage. This is how you become an elite program. Show up for big games on the biggest stages and play above your talent level.

Let's just hope we learn from this past game and grow from it. Loses have made teams better before. Momentum is very helpful. But let's just focus on Indiana right now. We have things to work on and hopefully we can answer some of our questions against the Hoosiers

If we can't beat an unraked Michigan state team at HOME under the lights, how in God's name can we do it against Penn State in a whiteout? Franklin is going to be ready after the spanking we gave them last year. This is going to be a rough game. Hopefully Franklin shits the bed again.

...lies in Michigan's tendency to gift each opponent 7 points with an early turnover. If PSU can put up 10-14 by themselves, then it comes down to our wobbly offense and undecided game planning. 

This will be a problem whether or not their fans wear white t-shirts.

Well I think we all figured this was going to be a night game. It is what it is. I'm still trying to be optimistic but damn @PSU, @UW, and then tosu....holly balls if UM can win one of those three and finish 9-3 I'll be happy. 

I'm not debbie downer but the offense is what it is at this point. This isn't game 1 or game 2. They are what they are at this point. I actually think UM's best shot is osu at home to end the year.

Before the season, I almost guaranteed we'd win this game. With the offense we've been fielding lately, I'm not confident whatsoever, which kills me because I don't think PSU is that good and Franklin is nothing special. Take Barkley off that team and they're not nearly as good as they appear to be.

now that Michigan has lost once in division. Another takes them out of contention. So, this is the season on the line, as basically is every game from now on. If you play with that mindset and desperation, then you can navigate this schedule and make it to Ohio State with your best days still ahead.

Your culture and their culture are being challenged in this matchup. That's what it comes down to. WE ARE the Maize and Blue. And WE ARE better than them. We just have to prove it in their ballpark.

I hate to admit it but personally I'm fine with this. It makes the game easier for me to watch when I expect a loss. Not that I hope for it. I want MIchigan to win so badly at times it literally raises my blood pressure to unhealthy levels. Here's hoping for the best......cheers!

If the offense didn't figure anything out the whole offseason, then had a bye week and still didn't come up with anything, then they're not going to come up with anything before Penn State

The offense and coaching staff have obvious weaknesses which won't be fixed this year. Penn State will probably win by 2-3 touchdowns
