Interesting setup for this one. PSu hasn't been a big dog since OSU 2016. Hopefully that gets the chip back on their shoulder. Defense looked good, the less we see of Farmer/Johnson, the better they will be. Offense really needs to play some WR who will get separation, scUM will press man a lot and go one on one. Need to capitalize. Hoping Dotson, Sullivan Brown roles grow and Shorter gets some run.

Best of luck this week to PSU (not too much luck though). Should be a good game. Looks like UM will be getting their top WR back who has been out all year (Tarik Black), so it will give PSU something else to worry about. Also hoping Rashan Gary is back too — he’s been out the last 3 or 4.

Should be a fun game. Weather looks like it will be around 50 and it doesn’t have any snow or rain yet.

Have a feeling UM will be amped for this one, more than any game, other than OSU as PSU whooped them good last year.

Early line on the game is UM -10.5 — that is way too much if you ask me.

Michigan 41-24

I have no realistic hope for anything other than a lack of embarrassment this week.

Same to you, hopefully its a competitive, injury free game. I could see this one gong so many different directions, no real feel for it. Could see PSU playing like shit and getting blown out, could see them playing like they are capable of and winning, could see them playing somewhere in the middle and losing a close one. Michigan will be the best team they have faced this year, I am not sold on OSU at all, in fact we should have blown them out and I think we win that game 9/10 times you play it....same with MSU, we should have won that with Trace playing the worst game I have seen him play as a starter. Michigan more balanced than both on O and D. Can't give ball away, need to recover any fumbles we may force, clean up special teams and for the love of god, PLAY MICAH PARSONS AND ELLIS BROOKS at LB and bench polk at WR.

If good Trace shows up, we could make this a game. If bad Trace shows up, this could get ugly early.

I'll go with 24-23 PSU, Pinegar hits late FG to win it. Something about this week has me thinking this D finally turning corner and the team will play very inspired being a big dog for first time in a long time. They seem to play better as the hunter than the hunted....loose and let it fly, not tense and worried about every play costing them playoff birth

I might watch a snap or two. As has already been posted, this game could go either direction.

Michigan is overloading the receivers to get open WRs. We are not doing a very good job in getting to the QB. Michigan is moving.

That was a nice defensive disruption of a screen pass by the PSU D.

PSU gets fucked on what should have been a FG block return TD

It was a block below the waist. I noticed on the replay before the refs made their call.

McSorely screws up handoff for the 2nd game in a row.

We look how I thought we would, not nearly as good as Michigan.

True, I am not to upset with the D but sheesh … how did McSorely miss that pass.

Giving-up large chunks of yardage on big plays doesn't help either.

Fumbling the football, missing pass completions, and then getting a blocked FG for a TD recanted is just more of the same crap.

At this point I'm just hoping PSU loses by fewer points than they beat UM by last year.
