- UM/MInnesota Prediction

[Old/Adv/Featured.htm]
Michigan Minnesota
Offense
Minnesota should just allow the Wolverines to tear it up and the ground.  If they don't the Wolverines will unleash an aerial assault that will darken the skies over Michigan Stadium.   Braylon might get tired of running...

Advantage- Michigan

Defense

Minnesota has two backs who average big rushing yards.  Not against this defense!  Look the for the Wolverines to pound these guys into the turf.

Advantage- Michigan

Special Teams

The Wolverines are always exciting on special teams.  They had better learn to block on punts or the Gopher will eat them up.  Every team on Michigan's schedule looks forward to the Wolverine's poor blocking on during punts.  The good news is that Michigan gets lots practice this week kicking PAT's- and they even make some!!!

Advantage- Minnesota

Intangibles

Minnesota is upset that they collapsed like a house of card last year in the Metrodome.  They think that this year will be different.  They're right.  The Gophers will wilt in the sunlight and be devoured by the Wolverine crowd...

Advantage- Michigan

Prediction

Michigan puts the hammer down on the Gophers!

Michigan 45 Minnesota 16 

Go Blue!
