#14 Michigan (4-2, 7-2) at Maryland (1-5, 3-6) Post Game

Michigan is favored by 18 points in this Noon contest.  Michigan OC Gattis is old friends with Maryland head coach Locksley with both taking credit for Alabama's offense last year.

The line is closer than I would have guessed.  I expect more of a blowout, like 45-16.

And of course it's possible Michigan lays a virtual egg here of course after a great win last week.  I doubt it though.

Take the Gators against UGA and get the points to boot.

Yup.  Florida has enough defense to stop UGA the way USCe limited them (and Kentucky, though that was in pouring rain).

Use one on one press coverage and zone blitz to stop the run and make Fromm through into tight windows as the UGA receivers seem unable to get separation.  Last year's game was close in reality, Florida lost a 3-0 TO margin, and Florida is better this year without Franks at QB.  UGA is better on defense but they lost a lot at WR.

The one guy they had is injured and doubtful.

Michigan’s defense has really went to another level with sophomore DE Aidan Hutchinson developing his game and taking it to the next level these past few weeks and with RS frosh LB Cam McGrone and true frosh S/NB Dax Hill getting starting roles. I honestly think all 3 of these guys are going to be future 1st round draft picks. Proto-type size and measurables for the position and all of them seem to have good instincts.

Michigan has two really good CBs in Vert Hill and Ambry Thomas. Vincent Gray has been kind of up and down but he’s shown a lot of promise for a frosh. Glasgow has been a pleasant surprise at LB- but he’s a Glasgow- this should’ve been expected. Michigan’s defense has gotten a lot better since that debacle in Wisconsin.

I have a hard time seeing Maryland being really able to challenge it. Who f’n knows with this team though?

This game hasn't been close the past 4 years, and I see no reason to expect anything different this time. Michigan fans will overtake their stadium like they have in 2015 and 2017, just like they do at Rutgers in even years.

Defensively, Michigan just needs to shut down their RBs. They've done that pretty well the past 4 weeks so I don't see why they wouldn't in this game, too. Their passing game isn't very good, and Michigan has shut down better QBs and WRs than they have. Offensively, Michigan will probably just run it for most of the game and pass when they need to.

The biggest question is how quickly Michigan is able to get a big lead. If they can finally play well from the start, they could put in the backups for a good part of the second half, though with the way the second half of the Illinois game went, they might keep the starters in longer than they need to.

Yeah, it should be akin to say Wisconsin playing Illinois.

Oh, my bad.

Texas might have something to say about over confidence and Maryland.

Say what you will about Michigan's losses in big games under Harbaugh, but they have pretty consistently beaten the teams they are supposed to beat, oftentimes convincingly. Some games have been close (a few against Indiana, 2016 Minnesota, 2019 Army), but most have not.

Michigan's worst loss under Harbaugh is probably 2017 South Carolina. Almost every other loss was to a team that was ranked and/or finished the season ranked.
