WHAT TO EXPECT?

Stole the picture from MGOBLOG, thought it was sweet. I keep hearing that if MSU can stop Denard then they should win. Do they mean rushing? Or passing? WMU kept him to 81 yards on the ground and 98 passing yards and Michigan was winning by 4 TD's when they stopped it in the 3rd quarter. EMU shut him down for only 51 YDS on the ground and 169 YDs passing and we see how that ended. ND kept him to a modest 122 yds on the ground but he threw for 338 yds. I guess what I am saying is how do you stop Michigan? MSU has been off two weeks, does that help or not? Michigan is rolling, they know they have a bye after this week. "give it everything this game and you can rest next week". That is what Hoke pounds in their head I'm sure.

When looking at MSU's offense, they have a makeshift OL and less than dynamic offense. Cousins is experienced but mistake prone as of late. Who is the stud RB currently? A whole lot of questions offensively but the D is solid, especially in the middle. Michigan should stay away from the middle and work the spread, Borges should have some things saved for this week. Michigans D is solid as well, especially as the game goes on. The secondary will be tested with Cunningham but T. Gordon has been good and they have not given up the long ball all season. These are just questions and matchups I cannot answer but are very interesting. Everything comes into play tomorrow and I expect a dandy in East Lansing. I will not predict this week but Michigan has a great chance.

I will predict these though

Indiana at Wisconsin - Wisconsin rested last week, as if they needed it. Indiana may start another new QB against Wisconsin. This is a joke.

Wisconsin 50 IU 13

Northwestern at Iowa - both teams are struggling a bit but Iowa is the better team. Iowa is at home, Coker, Mcnutt and Vandenberg should all shine.

Iowa 24 NU 23

Purdue at PSU - Purdue can put up points but PSU's D has been stingy lately. Silas Redd has been productive and should be tomorrow. Know way this is a blowout.

PSU 27 Purdue 17

Ohio at Illinois

People have been high on Ohio this week but for what reason? Illinois have not slaughtered opponents but have Scheelhause and Jenkins to count on. I don't believe Ohio wins until I see it.
