UM/Purdue Prediction
[Old/Adv/Featured.htm]
|
Michigan |
Northwestern |
|
Offense |
|
Michigan has all the tools to make this a blow
out. Is RB Michael Hart ready to go? If not Max
Martin will get a chance to shine. Look for Braylon
Edwards to have another huge game.
Advantage- Michigan |
|
Defense |
|
The MSU game raised many questions about the
defense. I expect them to come out strong. They need
to shut down the Wildcat running game.
Advantage- Michigan |
|
Special Teams |
|
Special teams came up huge in the 4th quarter and
OT's last week. But that performance was the exception for
this season rather than the rule. I expect them to come
back to Earth (and mediocrity) this week. Will Brayon get
a chance to return some kicks?
Advantage- Even |
|
Intangibles |
|
There is a chance that Michigan might be looking
ahead to Buckeyes...Northwestern would love to upset the
Wolverines in the Big House.
Advantage- Northwestern |
|
Prediction |
|
Michigan wins big! |
|
Michigan 37 Northwestern 16 |
Go Blue!
