No one gave them a chance to beat Philly... It feels like Michigan Football is in a similar position next week.

Go Blue!

Spread actually opened at 6, so it's not that big of a longshot. Granted, it's been bet up to 8 already in some books.

Michigan can win, but they need to score TDs on every drive. I think they have the talent and ability to do so, but it's going to take some gutsy play calling.

Usually, I rewatch MSU games 1 or 2 times because I miss a lot of stuff in the emotion of real time. Needless to say, I can't watch that mess again. I would be curious to see if we were just that awful on defense, or OSU was that good. I expected them to throw for a ton of yards, but never could fathom how wide open all their receivers were and how much time Stroud had to throw. Was it their talent and scheme....or were we just that pathetic?

I'm sure you'll give them a better game though. Anybody in D1 or D2 could have today.

The pass coverage from State was awful. I wouldn't advise a rewatch.

Michigan needs to flip the switch at some point against that garbage state.

I stopped watching when it was 28-0 since I was going to watch that beat down. Michigan going to have bring its A-game VS the Suckeyes next week and a bag of tricks as well GO Blue Beat Ohio.

I am picking OSU 35-21; change the score to 35-10 if Corum cannot go.

MSU scored 37 on UM 3 weeks ago. OSU is.....considerably better. You can throw on OSU, but that isn't the strength of the UM offense. Unless OSU turns the ball over 3 times. I just don't see how Michigan stays with them. 41-23 Buckeyes.

The Wings hadn't won a Cup in about 40 years until 97. Seems like it's been that long since UM beat OSU so Matt made the analogy, I'm guessing.
