Michigan 14, Penn State 9 (final)

[Best Buckeye]

Don't start thinking that tsun doesn't have a volatile Offense that can make any D look "not so good". By the time we play them they will be a lot better than what they are now.

It's popular right now to dump on both State Penn and the Vulvarines, but mark my words -- both teams will give our Buckeyes all we can handle in their own houses. There will be nothing easy about either game.

I'm going to enjoy seeing Herbie explain this. On Gameday he acted like he knew PSU was better than people were giving them credit for.

yup. this is the same guy that voted PSU #5 last week.

Almost all of his carries are to the left side behind long.

In other shocking news, the Sun rose in the East today. Not gonna lie, I'm so glad Michigan beat PSU. Seems like everyone in my graduating class went to PSU and wouldn't shut the fuck up. Now, nothing. Nice and peaceful.

Well, you simply forgot Anthony Morelli was their QB.

I fully agree PSU will be a steep challenge... but I'm not pulling any punches from the trash brigade.

Well, you simply forgot Anthony Morelli was their QB.

And the rich tradition of horrendous OL development...

Indeed. They lose the Big 10's 3rd, maybe 4th best OL from last year and bring in no one.

Gotta admit I didn't think he could possibly be worse than a wet behind the enormous jug ears, lead footed freshman John Navarre clone... I was wrong.

I still say that loss was more about what PSU lacks than what tsun has.

A competent QB that can actually read a defense? Running backs that can hold onto the ball? Linebackers that can catch one of the slowest QBs ever?

Michigan Wolverines 1-2
Last Game: Win vs. Penn State 14-9
Next Game: 09/29 vs. Northwestern

I know Notre Dame is bad, but is Michigan really in any position to be giving away W's?

Haha I wasn't sure if we were counting wins over DIII schools. Thanks.

Yes, I would say PSU lacks all of those.

 

[Taosman]

PSU very good defense.
Morelli at QB= enough said. He has plateaued.
Running back? Not this year.
Good WRs
Mediocre offensive line. Maybe even bad.
Very good TE=Quarles.
Special teams? Kicker with confidence problem.
8-4 or 9-3 team.
Will still be tuff playing there. Hope like hell it don't rain! :tongue2:

I swear to God, if you watch the replay of Mallett's TD run, you can actually see the stadium shadows move in the time it takes him to get to the endzone!
