Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

It seems like the injuries have been worse than ever this year.  Michigan and Penn State being both talented and healthy have helped make that gap wider.  Even OSU has had poor injury luck

Bad luck for sure for OSU- but not as bad as last season.  That was the worst. 

100%. 

Ohio State wins the natty last year if JSN and Henderson both don’t get hurt last year imo. 

Shoot they would’ve beaten UGA if Marv didn’t get knocked out that game. 

crap QB play for most

only counts non-garbage time, regulation possessions against FBS opponents:

More stats: 

Michigan ranks #1 nationally in offensive points per drive and defensive point per drive.

Georgia, Florida State, and Air Force are the only other schools that rank in the top 20 in both.

Georgia is the only other school besides Michigan that ranks top 10 nationally in both.

I am trying to lay low and just let it all play out MDot. 

I am not sure this is the time for bragging about Michigan stats from this season’s games already played. 

Nobody doubts their talent.  I doubt there are many non UM fans here that find those stats legitimate- knowing they are likely based on knowing the other teams play calls. In fact- many see that as evidence of it.  

Cheating or not,  it's hard to remember the last time the Big Ten had a team that dominated the stats so completely as Michigan has this year.

With that said,  it will be interesting how Michigan finishes the season.  Until a couple years ago, Harbaugh had a history of looking strong at mid-season,  then fizzle down the stretch.  The last couple years they found a way to finish strong, unless you count the playoff games.

Big test coming on Nov 11 when Michigan travels to PSU. If Michigan blows out PSU like they have been doing to other teams, you may have to concede Michigan is doing something special.

Michigan dominated PSU last season
I expect the same, unless............

Penn State is at home and they have a top notch defense. Unfortunately they have a truly terrible offense and James Franklin is still the head coach. 

Penn State needs to sell out to stop the run and try to make it a complete slop fest, ugly ass game. They need to nail all the FG attempts they get and they also need to get a special teams score or defensive score as well. If they can't do that, I think they'll be in for a rough afternoon.
