Game Thread: #19 Michigan (5-1) @ #2 Penn State (6-0) ABC 7:30Eastern

Most sensible UM fans said 8-4, 7-5. Anything more was a huge over achievement or a big stretch. They returned 5 starters. It sucks but its reality.

I think with the defense as good as it is, it's not unreasonable to expect a competent offense. I think 9/10 wins is reasonable with the talent on this roster.

Someone forgot to tell them they are already dead.

A good B1G team should get 10 wins in a year - bare minimum.

2 TD's is nothing in college football.

Ain't over until it's over.

True but Michigan isn't exactly looking like they have it in them.

 

[DJ]

Fumble!!!!

 

[MAIZEandBLUE09]

Just when you thought OKorn wasn't OKorn....

 

[WizardHawk]

Turnover!!!

Now go put that nail in...

Was gonna say "How about when we turn the ball over here?" but - I was too slow.

 

[Golden Spur]

Ouch

Can't help but appreciate how well this program has responded to the scandals in 2011. Back then, I thought it would take a decade or more to recover.

I remember people saying they should disband the football team....

Yeah

I agree, but we all knew after losing so much talent on offense the QB position would be exposed.

Guys, it's time to be positive.

We have jim harbaugh. Things will be fixed. Michigan's defense is good. Let's go blue. We might lose a few games (we knew that). Winning at PSU at night is hard (we knew that). Let's hope we win some games we're not supposed to down the line.

 

[WizardHawk]

Of course that was a fumble, but can't blame harbs for having them look at it. Kind of have to at this point.

Numbers of years to go before I see Michigan win a national title again in football:

Love the challenge, especially if he loses it.

Then, he may really lose it.

Later all.....I'm heading to the Wyoming-Boise thread.

Wouldn't hurt my feelings at all if you'd at least shut up some of the more annoying wisky fans with a win. That would rock.
