WEEK 7: MICHIGAN (#16) @ Penn St. (#7) 7:30 PM EST on ABC - WHITEOUT
Is Michigan as bad as they have shown all year?
Is Penn State as good as they have done all year?
Or, are we somewhere in the middle and this could be a great game?
Michigan has shown flashes but they’ve been sloppy and inconsistent and have not been able to put together a game against the quality opponent.
On the other hand, Penn State has kicked the shit out of inferior opponents and had to battle against quality teams.
So, is Michigan a quality team that will battle Penn State or are they an inferior team that will get the shit kicked out of them?
Go Blue!!

One thing I'm interested in is how much, if anything, has this coaching staff learned from their ass kicking at Wisconsin? Will we see any changes or can we expect the same old ass kicking when we face a ranked opponent on the road???
Questions I have:
If Penn State is able to have success early on offense, and goes up tempo, will DB be able to make the adjustments to keep this from becoming a repeat of 2017?
Will Michigan’s D be able to shutdown the run and keep Clifford from hurting them with his feet?
Can Michigan’s O-line rise to the challenge and keep Patterson clean against a talented PSU D-line?
Can Patterson manage the game effectively enough to pull out the upset?
With everything on the line, can this Michigan team finally rise up for the big challenge on the road?
No one outside of the Michigan locker room will be giving them a chance; the line is at 7.5.
One of my most favorite Michigan wins of all time was the 1997 win at Penn State. I certainly don’t expect to see Michigan rip Penn States heart out like that, but it sure would be one for the books to see Michigan go into Happy Valley and ruin that white out on national TV.
I’ll be watching this one with one eye closed, always expecting the impending disaster, but a glimmer of hope will be there even as a hapless fan.
If we can somehow manage to not turn the ball over we’re still going to need extra special efforts from the D & special teams to pull the upset.
Unfortunately no Michigan football team the last 15 years has managed to go on the road & win a game like this. I see no reason to believe this is the team that’s going to get it done.
I foresee this being the beginning of a very painful stretch for Michigan Football. PSU beats us by 3 scores or more & we stagger to the end of this season losing 4 of 6.
Go Blue!!
It seems McCaffrey is healthy again, so maybe we see him on the field a few times in different situations.
As long as UM doesn't shoot themselves in the foot with stupid penalties and turnovers, they will be fine. That's a HUGE "if".
Michigan 27 PSU 24. and the kicker who left them for us is going to kick the winner as time expires.
