Michigan State (1-1) at #13 Michigan (1-1) Post Game
« on: October 29, 2020, 08:29:24 AM »
MSU frequently plays this one better than they should.  But last year was ugly, and UM is playing better now, MSU is somehow playing worse.

The MSU beat writers podcast seemed to imply that Collins was one of the COVID cases.  It might be a conditioning issue getting back to game shape

I think Hairball is going to really pour it on. Kick them while they are down.

this one is really important. Young team that is probably feeling themselves a little bit after going on the road at night and spanking a ranked Minnesota team. Have to turn around a week later and play in a big rivalry game and come back down to earth.

As bad as Michigan handled Minnesota- they made plenty of errors and mistakes that had they not made- they would've hung 60+ on them instead of 49. Can they clean up those first game mistakes? Can they handle the emotions of a big road win and then turn around and be ready for a big rivalry game? Remains to be seen.

If Michigan comes out, cleans up some of the mistakes from week 1 and handles Michigan State- then they just might actually be legit and a top 10 type team. Not going to believe it until I see it though. 

This game is also huge in the development of a young QB in Joe Milton. I want to see him continue to grow and execute the offense and be efficient like he was week 1. He doesn't need to try to be a savior- just run the offense, be efficient, take what the defense gives you and don't turn it over.

the important question is.........

do I take Michigan to cover 25? take 25 points and Sparty?  or stay the hell away from this rivalry game?

I was leaning towards taking Sparty and the points

I’d take the points. Michigan might will, but it won’t be by 25. That’s an easy bet imo.

That coach is going to need a couple of full cycles ( recruiting, spring ball, fall camp, full season) to stabilize the program and instill a culture and playbook.   
 
I am not knocking them.

Oh, MSU is going to get crushed.  I don't even think this is like 2016, where we were better than 3-9, but how we got every single bounce our way to reach the CFP in 2015, it went the exact opposite way in 2016.

I just hate playing with a line that high.  I could see it going like last year, but I could also see UM up by 30 points, and MSU tacking on a couple meaningless scores late.
