Well as we know those variables don't necassarily transfer,on the money line I'd take UM with a return not worth the bet.Hope it's hotly contested either way

Any way moving forward anyone have injury reports for the BTCG?




I'm getting the same vibes from UM and looking at each of the remaining playoff hopefuls the title really should be up for grabs this year.  UM might of picked the perfect year to pull things together.
Georgia seems invincible.

Stroud wasn't getting the time in the pocket to allow the receivers to get behind the defense. The UM D line, specifically the ends, were getting to much pressure on him. He had to dump the ball off to the underneath receivers to often.

I recognize that it seems a weird thing to say about a team in the SEC that also had Clemson on the OOC schedule, but I don't think we know all that much about Georgia right now.  And CD has basically said the same, over the course of the season.

They've definitely looked the part of Contender against the schedule they've played, but through no fault of their own, both Clemson and the SEC are a bit down this year.  

Even Alabama isn't their usual juggernautty self, but they're still talented and well-coached and I think we'll finally find out something about how good Georgia actually is, this weekend in the SEC CCG.

He's in the running for the Heisman and took some shots.I'll take him back for the next 2 yrs if he puts up those numbers

UGA has often looked very good against middlin' teams, which is a sign of a very good team, but they have not played an elite team yet.  Only Arky and Clemson are currently ranked, and I see Kentucky snuck in at 25.  I think they could be beaten if you can completely shut down their running game and keep Bennett from escaping.  Get your Dline to get their hands in the air and knock down passes.  On offense, well, you need somehow to establish the run (duh) enough to open passing lanes, shorter passes.

Their secondary is the weakness of the D.

He might win the Heisman by default, due to lack of competition. I'll give you that. 

Doesn't change the fact that OSU has turned into Oregon. All lightning, no thunder.

Well some quality players left in the off season.I'm surprised they stayed in the national radar as long as they did

The Heisman should skip this year I think.  They won't of course.

Personally I believe Iowa is going to lose to Mich by the same type of score that Iowa lost to Purdue or Wisconsin,  something like 27-7,  but I am trying to psych myself into believing Iowa can win.  So here are some things to think about.

Iowa has won 5 of its 7 last games agsinst Mich, and overall has a winning record against Mich in the last 20 years.

Mich may have just beat OSU 42-27,  but the last time Iowa played OSU,  Iowa won 55-24!

Mich only beat Neb by 3 points.  Iowa beat Neb by 7!

I hear Jim Harbaugh is feeling generous, giving all his bonus money away to those that got screwed in the pandemic.  Well Jim, here is a thought.  Mich owes Iowa a home game from a game you canceled in 2020,  How about you pay Iowa back by switching the CCG to a cold night game at Kinnick?  That worked out pretty well last time.  And if you let Iowa win, that's less bonus money you have to feel guilty about.

I could keep going, but, uh, ok I got nothing.  Just remember.  Punting is winning!

Iowa is a very good team.  Ranked #2 at one point for a reason.  One big factor in Michigan's favor is that the game will be played in neutral Indianapolis and not Kinnick, thank God.

Iowa is good on defense, and special teams. Michigan is good in all three areas. 
Iowa defeated no one in the current Top 25.
Michigan defeated Ohio State ranked #7.
Both fan bases will travel for this game.
Enough said. Every indication is Michigan should defeat Iowa, and if things go about the way these teams play, it is Michigan, 24-10.
There are so many good Big Ten teams they knocked each other out of the Top 25. Bowl season should be interesting.

Iowa punter Tory Taylor has the same average as Michigan punter Brad Robbins, 45.8 yards.  Taylor has 3,157 total punting yards vs. 1,741 for Robbins.  Not sure if that is good or not.

Tory's leg is tired, but he's had a ton of game reps as practice

any blocked punts, any punts returned for TD?

you know, like Nebraska - game killers
