there is NO WAY in hell that Michigan beats Michigan State in East Lansing. Just don't see it. Not with that passing game.

Michigan's running game is better than State's IMO

don't know if it's enough better to get the "W"

State's passing game is better than Michigan's.

Both have very solid defenses. 

This will be real battle.

QB/WR/TE, advantage Michigan State, and I think by a lot.

Running back is probably a toss-up. Walker I think is the best, but Michigan has the next three, and they aren't that far behind.

Offensive line is Michigan by a mile. Imo the single biggest positional advantage in the matchup.

Defensive line is also probably a toss-up, similar to running back, but flipped. Hutchinson is the best singular player, but I think MSU has more guys.  And Panasiuk is leading the nation in QB pressures per PFF.

Linebacker is pretty clearly Michigan, but not by as wide a margin as o line.  MSU has Halladay and nothing.

Secondaries look pretty similar to me. Both have question marks at cornerback, but pretty solid safety play.

Special teams are also pretty similar. Both teams have great punters. Both teams have potentially great kickers, but I'll give the edge to Michigan, because they have more consistency.  Coghlin hit a pair of 50 yarders against Indiana, so hopefully he has turned a corner. I think he had missed every field goal from outside 40 yards prior to that this season

Spartan's at home and the Harbaugh factor - dead heat

Here’s where they are to start:

Michigan (-4) vs. Michigan State

Also, I want it on the record that rivalries are my favorite part of college football, but I hate absolutely everything about this rivalry, and always have, even rooting from both sides of it. It's gross and personal and nasty, and not in fun ways.

90% of the terrible fan behavior I have seen in person, has been at Michigan-MSU games.  And it's always the home fans, with the confidence of 80% of the fan base at their back

Really good analysis. 

Michigan has been without two starting Guards last couple weeks- Keegan & Zinter- but both should be back for Michigan State game.

I think Michigan has the edge at RB simply because they have two high level guys, not just one like MSU. And I honestly think Corum is the best/most talented of all 3 of them- but he gets the fewest touches/carries. 

It is suppose to rain, and if it does rain it helps neutralize MSU's biggest advantage and that is their QB/WR's v. Michigan's QB/WR's. So I am hoping for the rain.

Yes, very personal game for me and many Michiganders.  And the bad behavior is not limited to the fans either.  Having the game at Noon will help keep the lid on a lot of it.  Both fan bases should enjoy being undefeated for a few more days.

No idea how this game goes.  When I think of Sparty I think of how they handled Miami (FL) on the road and the way they did it.  If Michigan can control the ball on offense and pressure Thorne on defense it may be enough to win the game.  One thing is for sure, neither team will be holding anything back.

transitive property doesn't work in football. 

every game is always unique in and of itself and different. games are always about match-ups. sometimes one team matches up better in this area or that or not as good in this or that- and that's why you can see such drastic swings when comparing common opponents. 

will absolutely be a tough game- leaning towards MSU right now just because they a) at home and b) have the much better QB. Thorne can make plays- he can make stuff happen. Cade cannot. 

Regardless, whomever wins this one will set themselves up for a nice run I think. Spartans win this one- they'll cruise into Columbus 10-0. With the way Penn State run defense has looked and as bad as their offense has been- Michigan wins this one in EL- they've got a real shot to go into that season finale at home vs Ohio State 11-0. 

This is definitely a HUGE match-up, winner takes all the marbles type game.

Maybe Michigan will put McCarthy out there more?  It seems like they've been getting him ready for something.  McCarthy lacks McNamara's experience but has a better arm and is a real threat to run the ball which Sparty will have to defend.

this is the truth
from my vantage point, Huskers at East Lansing and Wolverines in Lincoln, Michigan is the better team.
but, even if not a intense rivalry game, this game will be much different than either of those games vs the Huskers.  Add the rivalry and it's a crap shoot.

Martinez rushing vs Michigan 8-38, vs State 20-65

both defenses defended the QB run well, but one or two first dawns can make a difference

Need a passing game on the road in a tough environment vs a really good team. McNamara definitely can't provide you with this. McCarthy might be able too.

Not always but plenty of times it's a good hunch.
Thanx for the Valenti Show link,BB, I usually hit him up a few times a year.This week and the following Monday being one of them

I agree with Valenti here if Michigan takes 6-7 minutes on drives and comes up with points - it'll be a long afternoon for Sparty.If MSU can change things up defensively,they're good.Also he thinx M's D-Backs haven't been tested and are susceptible/suspect - that I don't know as i haven't watched them enough.These two squads at 7-0 is great for CFB/BIG

Ha Valenti said 2 weeks ago "The Big Ten East October 30th - that's when the baby sitter shows up and the adults go out to dinner". He made a good point also that Lincoln Riley sat Spencer Rattler,that if he's an MFan the more he watchesCade McNamera there would be his concern.How do you have JJ McCarthy sitting there"ya ok I'll be cool,I'll be your Tim Tebow - when are you just going to play the Kid?"

I just don't get it. If you're a 5* QB you can go to Ohio State and sit in a room full of 5* QBs praying for playing time and hitting the transfer portal if you don't get it, or you can go somewhere like Minnesota and be a GOD. 

(I didn't use Purdue as an example because with their OL you'll be on your back more than a porn starlet.)

This is what Tony Gerdman had to say in this week's Michigan Monday

https://buckeyescoop.com/michigan-monday-the-fun-and-games-are-over/

The Wolverine offense is limited by its passing game. Could JJ McCarthy make things better? Considering the Wolverines are only going to go so far without doing anything, maybe they can go further by doing something.

With McCarthy at the helm, defenses would have to respect both the QB run and the downfield passing game, neither of which currently concern most Michigan opponents.Jim Harbaugh has been getting McCarthy involved all season long. If he is simply waiting for McNamara to lose a game before making a change, then he will be handsomely rewarded with that anticipated loss. The better question is whether or not McCarthy would have won the game that Harbaugh is waiting for McNamara to lose.


McNamara’s average completion on Saturday traveled ONE YARD in the air past the line of scrimmage.
One yard.

Easier to showcase your talent on the field at a good P5 school than on the bench at a helmet IMHO. 

Again, it doesn't mean just look for *any* other P5 school, but look for one that has a solid coaching staff, a good OL, and an OC that runs a system that'll showcase your ability. I.e. not Wisconsin because you're not going to throw enough, not Purdue because you'll be running for your life every game. 

But there have to be more than a dozen "good" P5 schools where you'll start for 3 years, be a superstar, and build your draft stock. Whereas we have multiple NFL QBs at this point who needed to transfer from their helmet to another school to get a chance to see the field.

I understand, but many teenagers don't
many high school stars are only focused on the NFL and possibly don't know the difference between the B1G and the SEC or Minnesota and Ohio St.

so, when picking a program, focus on number of former NFL players and former NFL draft picks

listening to that with Mike Valenti- think he made some great points in that Michigan needs the W more. Flat out.

Tucker is way ahead of schedule in year 2 and has MSU way better way faster than anybody thought possible, beat Michigan last year in Ann Arbor in his first year at MSU, and is basically playing with house money right now. 

Harbaugh is in year 7, had his salary cut in half in order to be allowed to stay and not get fired- and if he loses this game- and then gets blown out at the end of the year by Ohio State- which is an inevitability- he's 0-2 vs his rivals and his seat goes right back to getting hot.

I think MSU needs the positive of a win more, whereas Michigan needs to avoid the negative of a loss more.

If UM wins, there's no narrative.  UM has better players, UM won, he's split with Tucker.  Carry on.  I think both schools are fine with that.  I don't think UM "gains" anything from that.

If MSU wins, there is a narrative.  Tucker is 2-0, he's already got MSU ahead of Harbaugh, etc...  I do think if MSU finishes with losses to UM, OSU, PSU, and goes 9-3, that's still a GREAT season.  I predicted 4 or 5 wins, and said I would happily sign up for 6 and a bowl bid.  But as far as momentum goes, it's a pretty hollow 9-3.  You win one of those 3, then it's 10-2, a possible NY6 bid, and firmly planted yourself as part of that group at the top of the East.  You can sell that in recruiting.

No both schools aren't fine with you pot strirrer M wins and JH gets a stay of execution.He loses then the only thing saving him is an upset of the good guys in AA. Not that he'll be standing in any food lines whence dismissed. Don't know how losing to both of your rivals would boost recruitng unless you're sell immediate playing time

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer is backing her alma matter when it comes to Michigan State and Michigan playing this Saturday in East Lansing.

She declared Oct. 25 to Oct. 31 “Rivalry Week” ahead of Saturday’s matchup where there’s a ton at stake. The winner will get even closer to clinching a berth in not just the B1G Championship Game, but the College Football Playoff as well.


Despite her 2 kids going to Michigan, she wasn’t about to falter and support her rival school.

“Watching the Spartans and Wolverines battle for the Paul Bunyan trophy is one of our state’s greatest traditions. University of Michigan’s undefeated streak will come to an end Saturday in The Woodshed. I can’t wait to cheer on the Spartans! Tuck Comin’. Go green!”

Maybe, they'd have a near 50-50 chance in a bowl, and already beat Auburn.

If they finish 11-1, they be in a NY6 for sure, maybe even at 10-2.

I like these.  In fact I've generally liked what they've done with the helmets and uniforms this year.  A ton of different combinations, but they've all been some combination of green and white, and all used some variation of one of our logos.

No neon, no black, no bronze.

If you are going to do the alternates, this I can get on board with

I think it would have been better if they'd made the logo gloss green everywhere within the white outline, on top of the matte green helmet. Would give it just a little more contrast and style.

Otherwise, that's a good looking helmet.

I usually hate alternative unis across the board, but those are pretty dope. 

As for the actual game- man it's a toss-up at best to me. Leaning Michigan State just because I am not a believer in Cade or Michigan's passing game. And I think you'll need a passing game to go on the road and play a tough Michigan State in a tough environment. Just don't believe Cade can pull that off.

Michigan and their coach absolutely need this one more though. So if they are desperate enough and fight to the death hard enough- they just might pull it off. 

If Michigan can win this one somehow, then to me it becomes a one game season basically- vs Penn State. Flat out they will not beat Ohio State- no one in this conference will imo. But if you pull this MSU road in off- it's basically a one game season- @ Penn State. Pull that road win off as well- and they are 11-0 going into Ohio State. Indiana and Maryland are pretty bad- so unless something truly shocking happens- they should win both those games. 

11-1 even with a loss to Ohio State- Harbaugh's job is safe and the fan base can't be too mad, can they? I mean I would jump for freaking joy at an 11-1 season. I was seriously thinking this team would be 7-5, MAYBE 8-4 at the very best at the start of the season.

Worst reasonable case for UM - 9-3 with losses to those State U teams.  Best probably 11-1.  Probably best realistic case possible is a loss to PSU and a win over OSU, I realize that looks unlikely.

they HAVE to win this game vs MSU first. Period. A loss to MSU- that's baaaaaaad for the narrative and bad for Harbaugh's job security. 

Penn State game is looking less scary by the minute- that team looks like it's in shambles and Franklin might have one foot out the door. 

Nobody is beating OSU this year in the B1G. That offense is just too damn ridiculous.

They should be, yes. 

Tom Brady expects to win the Super Bowl every year. Does he? No, but he comes god damn close because he EXPECTS greatness from himself and his team. 

If you're a program with all the money and resources in the world- and you're not EXPECTING greatness and DEMANDING greatness- then what the hell are you even doing existing? Seriously.

Programs like Michigan and Ohio State have all the money and resources in the world. One of them expects to win and demands to win- and you know what- they freaking win a lot. The other? Ehhhhh. Not so much.

Little industry secret here, the green part is actually transparent so that the helmet color shines through. This makes it a perfect match, whereas had they printed the green it would have been off, even if by just a hair. 

But yes, they did print it on Matte helmet decal material, and could have used the standard gloss in order to create the effect that you are describing.

I'm thankful he didn't transfer somewhere with an actual good OL

UM is going to need McCarthy McNamera this weekend. They will not win otherwise, in my opinion.
FIFY

Michigan wins this IMO if they had benched McCarthy after his first fumble.

B1G admits that Ojabo’s forced fumble that Hutchinson recovered for a touchdown, which was overturned, should have stood. 

That one still burns my ass. No excuse for that loss though- you're up 16 points late in the 3rd- you have to win that game. Still- kinda burns my ass that it should've been a 23 point lead.

committee shmittee shitty rankings- who cares. Michigan nor Michigan State is making the playoff. MSU isn't done losing games and neither is Michigan. 

Ohio State is going to win the B1G.....AGAIN and they will be going to the playoff.

Mel ain't lying.

that call sucked- BUT there was a ton of game left.

Michigan was up 16 points with I don't know- 7 or 8 mins to go in the 3rd QTR. YOU HAVE TO WIN THAT GAME. Inexcusable that Harbaugh dropped that game. He can whine all he wants about refs- but that L is on HIM. Not refs, not players, HIM.

I was just giving you the biz ness. 

I am not convinced OSU is all that.  I think all 3 of their scheduled games are going to be brawls. Especially if they don’t invest more in their running game- a must in November Big Ten football.
