I expect this to be a helluva game

Michigan is playing well and the Badgers will be feisty after the 4th quarter meltdown vs the Irish

sp+ model predicts Michigan wins by 1 point, 24-23.

Both teams are going to sell out to stop the run.

Mertz throws picks. McCarthy doesn't.

UW gives up a KR or PR.

Ballgame.

Wisconsin's D is giving up an average of 1 yard per rush.  When you take out the three pick 6s and the punt return the Badger's defense gives up about 11 points per game.  Remarkable given the competition.

Michigan QB McNamara will need to pass for around 200 yards this weekend while under pressure to beat the Badgers.  Likewise, Michigan's D needs to pressure Mertz because he throws the ball very well when he has time.

Wisconsin defense is excellent. No denying that. Only thing McNamara will have to do imo is not turn it over and convert some tough 3rd downs when needed. 

I don't know what Mertz you've been watching, but even when he has time he makes mistakes. His footwork is awful and he throws off his back foot too much.

Think you mean McNamara.

Kinda what I'm thinking, but Harbaugh is notorious for shitting the bed on the road and Camp Randall is a tough ass place to play. Don't love Michigan's chances in this, tell you that right now.

Yes.

Michigan related, didn't know where to put it- but CFL team Montreal Alouettes sign Shea Patterson about a week after another CFL team- the BC Lions released him.

Thought Patterson would be a 6th or 7th round pick, didn't even get drafted. Signed as an UFA with Kansas City but didn't even last an off-season there and was cut. Patterson has been bouncing around the CFL as a back-up. This kid was former 5*, #1 QB in the nation, and a top 5 player overall in the nation. Can't even cut it in the CFL.

Harbaugh REALLY sucks with QB's and skill players. DPJ went in the 6th freaking round for christ sake. Urban Meyer was right- kid is athletically a top 10 NFL draft pick. If you're a highly rated QB or skill player, there's zero incentive to come to Michigan. None.

Starting to think Andrew Luck was a complete fluke and the emergence of Kapernick was really all due to Greg Roman, who appears to be the brains behind that operation.

recruiting stars aren't always true

QBs, agreed.  Trenches, yes.  WRs, usually are.  Michigan has developed a ton of front 7 guys.  I think they've exceeded their stars there.  QBs, meh.  I agree, WRs are the biggest issue.  Their route running development is abysmal.  Is Harbaugh's unqualified son still the WR coach?
