POLL #19 Michigan at #2 Penn State - who wins?

[ckhokie]

Michigan's defense has played absolute trash offenses, and their offense is FCS caliber.

PSU wins and should cover.

 

[Deep Creek]

Thankfully we never faced you in Columbus at any time before the year 2000. Ever.

WTH? How come?

 

[ralphiewvu]

PSU wins by a large margin and gets revenge for last year............and 2005...........and 1997

WTH? How come?

I don't know, but it just never, ever, EVER happened.

I don't think PSU will score a lot of points on our defense, but I don't think Michigan scores at all. 14-0 Lions.

 

[Across The Field]

Penn State - 23
michigan - 10

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

Penn State - 23
michigan - 10

7 of those points for PSU has got to be a pick 6.

That sounds like some SEC scheduling shit right there. IIRC, even the original SEC members played at each other's stadiums prior to this crazy expansion shit. Isn't Sparty a B1G charter member?

At the same time PSU has played mostly trash teams as well. We don't know jack about either team.

Maybe a field goal late.

17-3 Enablers.

No, we were one of the last to join before Penn State back in 1953. He doesn't want to acknowledge 1998 happening. One of three times since the BCS began that MSU kept OSU from competing for a natty.

Hmm, I didn't know that. Who were the "original" Big 10?

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Ok, but do you really believe Hoke is a better coach and fit for Mich than Harbaugh?

Honestly, after reading some of the Mich posters of the last couple years, it wouldn't hurt my feelings if they went back to the RichRod, Hoke shitshow of recent history...not one bit

I changed my vote for the upset. McSorley has been sacked 14 times (tied for 20th NCAA). Michigan has sacked the QB 20 times (tied for 11th).

Michigan is also 6th in rushing defense and 3rd in passing defense.

Iowa had 18 less 1st downs than Penn State, 306 less total yards, went 3-11 on 1st downs, under 200 yards passing, and under 100 yards rushing, and Penn State still had to score a game-winning touchdown.

Iowa's defense got 4-play rest for most of the game and still almost beat PSU. Michigan has a better defense.

Hearing that PSU’s weakness is their OL is making feel a little better about this game. I thought we’d get hammered, but if OL is an issue, our defense may be able help the offense out and make it a good game. DL is UM’s biggest strength.

My prediction:
UM wins 3-2.

I think michigan will win this by a touchdown. Book it, bitches.

The better D will prevail here.

IDK what that is about with John Hopkins and Notre Dame. Here is a chart from Wikipedia. Maybe in swimming or golf or something.
