Michigan wins by 3 scores..

If Iowa could not score on us, how will they fare against the Michigan defense??
I think it bodes well for Michigan that they went in and struggled with Maryland. The Terps are one of those teams that’s going to come out of nowhere and go 8-4 or 9-3, just watch. Michigan was tested after the joke of a schedule they played and still came out on top.

I’m going to say Michigan wins by only two scores though. The Hawks just have a way of making games like this interesting in Kinnick.

They also only scored one TD on offense against Rutgers. I hope Michigan puts the beat down on them and runs up the score.

The next couple days may want to check the weather forecast. With the incoming Hurricane a few states (Georgia, Carolinas, etc) in the time frame from Friday-Sunday may not get a Hurricane but could get some heavy rain. Might be some good bet the under opportunities there.
Currently clear forecast

They'll keep it close and then one play will open it up.

Harbaugh will get weird(er) at some point.

I read a post where somebody compared Kansas to a McCarney era bowl team that got wins against lower tier teams and then got exposed when they played teams with a pulse. I could be way off, but I think that might be accurate.

We might be giving Kansas too much credit for who they’ve beaten.

Duke was 3-0, but what’s Duke’s best win, Temple or at Northwestern?

Houston won a lot of games last year, but what’s their best win this year, UTSA in 3OT or Rice? By the way, UTSA’s only FBS win so far was against Army in OT, who might need to beat Navy at the end of the season to be bowl eligible. Look at their schedule and you’ll see what I mean.

At West Virginia was a nice win, but again, West Virginia’s best win was over a Virginia Tech team that lost to Old Dominion.

ISU probably doesn’t have a great win yet either, but I think if we lose to Kansas, it might be because we aren’t very good.

Again, I could be wrong, I’m going to guess that Iowa State still has considerably better talent than Kansas at most positions. Kansas is just outside the top 25 and they’re going to go into this game riding high. I think ISU goes in there and wins by a couple scores to bring them back down a bit. It’ll be a little nerve wracking at times but I think ISU takes the lead in the first half and never gives it up.

The question will be if ISU is a team with a pulse.

They need to sharpen up.
