I will admit that the drastic changes in intercollegiate sports over the last few years has diminished my interest. Still, this week has arrived and we're going to continue this game into the new era of a very big B1G.
For those of you who haven't been here before, the premise is simple:
There are many measurables that are measured in a football game. Each week, I will ask you to guess one of them.
SCORING: Entries shall be sorted in ascending order based on the absolute value of the difference between the entry and the correct answer, unless specifically noted otherwise. The closest entry shall receive a score of -5 points. The remainder of the entries shall receive scores based on the rank of the difference between the entry and the correct value.
In the event of a tie, each entry involved in the tie shall receive the score commensurate with the placing of the entry on the list. For example, if 3 people tie for 4th place, all three entries involved in the tie shall receive a score of 4. The next entry on the list (or entries if tied) shall receive a score of 7, since 5th and 6th were involved in the aforementioned tie.
In order to get the -5 score, the entry must be the sole winner. If there is a tie for the win, all involved in the tie shall receive a score of 1.
The person with the lowest overall score at the end of the season shall be declared the Resident Genius.
Scores and entries will be processed on Tuesdays, unless noted otherwise. I try to have 3 or 4 leaderboard updates throughout the season.
All disputes will be settled by me. All judgements are final.

The B1G has gotten bigger, but we'll start in classic territory. On Saturday night, the Michigan Wolverines take on the Fresno State Bulldogs at the Big House. A big issue is a very green OL, and they're needing some live reps before the Texas Longhorns come to town next week.
Q: How many rushing yards will the Michigan Wolverines generate vs. Fresno State?
Deadline is Saturday, August 31 at 6:30 PM CDT. Good hunting.

This could vary largely based on starting qb. Let’s go with assuming it’s Warren…
