UM vs MSU: Who is the X-Factor?
Since I am sick and tired of seeing people pick Devin Gardner as the X-factor of the game because DUHHHHHHH!!! I decided to give it more thought...
My choice is none other than MATT WILE. This will be a good ol' fashioned field position game. We need him to boot them back behind their own 25 all game. With their below average offense we will be in great shape if he does that.
Which player do you guys see whose production will swing the game one way or the other (Besides DG)?

The tweets are vague as vague can be.

People have to stop jumping to conclusions and saying I tweeted things I never did
A simple google search brought that one up. I think he's ok.

out of the power running game-- a couple of times in the early part of the game to keep the MSU D tentative and support the pass--and later, to salt away the game at the end.

Interior of the o-line...Bosch, Glasgow, and Mags. If they protect Gardner he will be fine and if they can create running lanes UM will win. Lewan & Schofield have been there done that, the young guys have to come around.

If by X factor we are referring to the unknown then I would say it would have to be Borges's game plan. If somebody had told me prior to the PSU game that we'd do what we did I wouldnt have believed it. If somebody had told me the same thing prior to Iowa in 2011 & OSU in 2012 I would say the same thing too. So I'm somewhat expecting another WTF reaction after today's game but would happily take being wrong.
So I'm watching him. Everything else I'm pretty sure I know what's going to unfold but with Al I have no idea.

It's unlikely we'll be able to do much offensively, so it's on our defense, and unless we can control the LOS with our defensive line, MSU will be able to run the ball and control the clock.

The Michigan Defense will be the "X" factor. All the talk about the State defense is about to be trumped by the Maize and Blue! Bet on it!
Go Blue!

Hoke working the refs from before the first snap. They'll be terrified to call any PI after the outcry from the ND game, despite that they missed half a dozen more than were called.
