- UM/CMU Prediction

Michigan Houston
Offense
The Cougars run a spread offense.  Michigan does pretty much whatever they want...If QB John Navarre and his receivers are on the same page this one will be over by the second quarter.

Advantage- Michigan

Defense

The defense looked a little soft last week but expect the return of Marlin Jackson and Ernest Shazor (both back from single games suspensions) to put things back on an even keel.

Advantage- Michigan

Special Teams

Can Michigan kick a field goal?  We're still wondering after a woeful performance last week.  The kick return game actually showed positive signs last week...

Advantage- Houston

Intangibles

Michigan will be looking to tune up for next week's battle versus Notre Dame.   Houston will be looking to survive...

Advantage- Michigan

Prediction

Bring on Notre Dame...

Michigan 51 Houston 10

Go Blue!
