Firstly, I know you have to be happy for the Lions. They ended the streak and that is great. Now, the question is how many games do you think they will win?
SECONDLY AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, it is still early but Michigan is #22 in the AP poll and they are gaining steam. Even though it was closer than I thought it would be, Forcier showed his "clutchness" and sometimes that is the perfect experience a young quarterback needs to prepare him for what is to come. The kid has a sparkle and he is spreading the ball around. Are you thinking BIG TEN title.................. Are you thinking maybe even more?!!!!!!

Yeah, I am happy as hell the lions got a win. However, I didn’t get to watch it because they couldn’t sell out. Go figure huh; they haven’t won since 2007 and a game that I picked them to win by the way I can’t watch it. I still think they only win about 3-4 games. They still have problems with their secondary. I think as the season goes along the offense will find its groove but I don’t think the defense can hold up so we should have another top draft pick again this year.
Michigan is still ranked in the top 25 which is nice to see. What is even better is all of the state fans who got all over Michigan last year and started chest pounding this year with the “we are THE university of Michigan” are a lousy 1-3. So far my record holds true because I had them at 4-0 going into the state game with that game going either way. I like Michigan in that one because of the offense. Michigan is 8th nationally in rushing offense and to top it off, they are a no huddle team. States' defense couldn’t stop the spread of CMU at home and I don’t think they will be able to do that against UM. Conversely, UM’s secondary is a weak spot and MSU is ranked 8th nationally in passing offense. Those are the key areas of the game that will decide who wins. I think that out of the last 39 games these two teams have played, the team with the better rushing attack has won 36 of those so the edge goes to Michigan. I think UM wins by a touchdown to make them 5-0. I think the fact that Forcier has played close games in 2 of the 4, he will be prepared mentally to playing on the road. I had Michigan finishing 7-5 to start the season but after watching them so far this year, I think they go 8-4 with a real shot at 9-3. They will not get a big ten title this year but they should contend next year for sure. By the time Forcier is a junior, they will be competing for a trip to the national title game. All of this is of course based on Forcier being healthy. If he goes down, we are in big trouble because I don’t think Robinson is very good throwing the ball at this point in his career. I think next year he will be playing a different position like slot receiver or running back. We are supposed to get a top dual threat QB in next year’s recruiting class.
I see LSU survived a big time scare. They haven’t really been playing good this year. I don’t follow them too much but I hope it’s just them playing down to their competition. They didn’t look good against Washington and again against Miss ST.
