Carr holds off on whether Hart's healthy enough to play
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Mike Hart's teammates expect him to play this week.
Michigan defensive end Tim Jamison said Hart, who appeared to hurt his right ankle in the first half Saturday against Purdue, would be on the field for the Wolverines (No. 25 BCS, No. 24 AP) when they play Saturday night at Illinois.
Offensive tackle Jake Long agreed.
"There's no doubt in my mind he'll play," Long said Monday.

What exactly suggests they'll win big? It's a conference road night game against a decently athletic team with a mobile QB. Illini in an upset.

Well, we're gonna find out on Saturday if Ron Zook has a copy of the M*ch*g*n - Syracuse game from 1998 on VHS. If he does, he should be able to beat them just like Ohio State, App State and Oregon have.
Hart will leave the game at least once because of injuries, but he's still gonna end up with 150 yards on 35+ carries. I don't think it'll be enough though.

Definitely feeling a lot more confident after Illinois' putrid showing at Iowa and Michigan's demolition of Purdue. Purdue's scary spread was supposed to slice and dice the Michigan defense, wasn't it? They scored one touchdown after a five-yard drive following a Henne fumble and two more against the scrubs. I like Michigan in this one. (Duh.) I'm starting to see a nice little chip on the maize-and-blue shoulders - getting the feeling that they've been circling the wagons and working on that us-against-the-world mentality. The nice thing about that us-against-the-world motivation is that road games only serve to fuel the fire. So if I'm right about that, the fact that Illinois tends to be tough at home won't matter.

Illinois has one thing that Purdon't lacks, a MOBILE quarterback.....
Michigan still hasn't stopped a QB of that type yet.

Still not seeing how scUM is noticeably better in any facet of the game. They won't be hungover from the loss either. It's not a day game against some MAC team. It's a primetime match-up against scUM. They'll be fired up.

I like Illinois, whether Hart plays or not. I don't see Michigan being able to stop any part of the Illinois offense.

Illinois just had a bad game at Iowa, plus they have a mobile QB in Juice Williams (and we know how Michigan fares against mobile QBs). I wouldn't discount Illinois at home simply because of their current statisical offensive standing...

Illinois is tough at home.
This is TSUNs, get this, 2nd away game. They have 4 scheduled this season. When they first went on the road, they struggled against Northwestern. It took TSUN three CJ Bacher interceptions (5 turnovers overall) to beat those crazy Cats.
Illinois and Michigan's schedule have had about equal difficulty (24 and 25, respectively).
I'm taking Illinois.
