I have a bad feeling about this game. Denard Robinson scares me. If we stop him, we'll win, but will we stop him? I hope so. This is going to be a regular game, not a one sided one.

scUM's offense has sputtered until it was too late in their "big" games (MSU, Iowa, State Penn, Wisconsin)

Sparty had them to 10 points until the 4th quarter....then they tacked on a 4th quarter TD to get 17

Iowa led 35-14 in the 4th....then they scored 2 late TDs to "make a game" of it (Forcier led the 2 TDs, NOT Robinson)

State Penn built a 31-10 lead until 8 minutes left in the 3rd....when scUM scored a TD and somewhat "got it together" late in the 2nd half taking the lead down to 38-31...but it was too late, seeing that their D struggles to stop anyone with a pulse....coming from 21 down in a half is a daunting task

Wisconsin- 24-0 at halftime.....31-14 late in the 3rd....once again, offense fails to mesh early...defense can't stop anyone, lead is too big to comeback from

We cannot have dropped TD passes

We sure as hell can't take 3's instead of 7's

When we have these punks down we better not show mercy...the problem is these guys can score quick. Bullshitting around instead of going for throat can cost us the game. IMO Wisconsin and Michigan will be the best offenses we have faced. If we get a lead they can make it up if we help them with TO's etc...

These assholes will play their best against us...bank that shit. As bad as they are on ST and defense you know they will play their best Saturday.

We cannot have 10 stupid ass penalties.

We play the way we should we handle these guys but if we come out looking like a monkey fucking a football we can lose. This is still Michigan...last year if it weren't for FCA completing 4 passes to our team that game goes to the wire.

I think we win but it may be closer than the experts predict...I hope I am dead wrong and we throttle them.

This game will not be 21-10 (2009) or 14-3(2007). I just don't see us scoring less than 30. Their defense is so terrible. With that said, our defense has its holes and their offense is very capable. I think this one will be the closest of RR's tenure, but the good guys will pull it out at home.

I noticed on several replays from the Wisky/scum game that while the scum secondary is terrible, their O-line is decent. They moved Wisky's line around and created some nice running lanes.

It's going to be a good match up. I hope our Defense doesn't struggle early. I don't want Scum getting a ray of hope.

michigan's success on offense is all about using misdirection to get the defense to lose contain. if we can stay disciplined at the DE position and make sure our safeties don't bite on play action we should be ok. i really don't see them coming out and trying to run for 200 yds from the i formation. the thing we have going for us if we need it is the fact that we are averaging over 35 pts per game. if they score, we can match them.

I agree 100%. I love the way our offense matches up and should have no problems scoring. IMO, I think it takes our D-line a few plays to adjust to their O-line schemes.

Was on the scUM board watching them argue about Rich Rod vs Harbaugh. Most of the mods are standing behind RichRod while the rest of the board is ready to move on.

Found document A in the argument to be quit funny:

I think this is the one game where you should never try to predict a score. Statisically the 2006 game was a match-up between two of the best defenses in the country. 81 points later the Buckeyes won one of the most wild OSU/Mich games in memory. Would it shock me if the winning team scored 20 points??? No. Would it shock me if the winning team scored 50 points? No. Nothing would shock me in this game.

I just want to win...and I don't care by how much. Sure it would be fun to blow this crappy Michigan team out of the water. Are we better than them??? OBVIOUSLY! MUCH BETTER! We have a better RB, a better QB, better WRs...and a MUCH MUCH MUCH better defense. Plus the game is in The Shoe. But this is The Game. And whether RichRod gets it or not, I don't know. But there are enough people still surrounding the Michigan program that DO get it. Those skunkbears will know exactly what this game means. We always say week after week that the team we are playing has had us circled on their calanders all year. But this time, it is definitely true. Michigan has been looking forward to this game all year, but so have we. At least I know I have. I've been counting down the days all year. I don't care how bad thier defense looks. Or how one dimensional their offense looks. Yes they look like crap. But we can't let down...THIS IS THE BIGGEST GAME OF THE YEAR. There can be no let down. There can be no slow start. If we win The Game, we are Big Ten champs...that's the way it should be. It doesn't get better than this.

ITS BEEN 10 YEARS SINCE WE'VE LOST TO MICHIGAN IN THE SHOE! WE CAN NOT LET THAT STREAK END THIS YEAR!

Go Bucks!!!
Beat Michigan!!!

Potentially, The Game could be close. Like it or not, TSUN has a gimmicky but high-scoring offense. It's defense where TSUN is hurting.

I think that is why Ohio State is going to run the ball up their gut...again and again and again. Tressel will control the clock and keep their offense on the sidelines. I look for at least 60% time of possession and 65% rushing/passing yards.

I don't care how good your offense is, they don't score from the bench.

I'm worried about the Buckeye defense in this one. This isn't the defensive line we thought it was going into the season.

Like it or not this UM offense can score and score quickly. The Buckeye secondary is shaky as well.

I agree that it is going to take 30-40 points to win this game.
