Michigan -7.5 vs. Oregon
~The thing here to remember is that Michigan has lost on there trip out west 2 out of the last three years. UCLA in Navarres first start in 2000 and Washiington the following year. I remeber both games and I can tell you that the UW lose was a fluke, and UCLA took advantage of a young QB at home with a solid Bruins team that year. Regardless, those two loses mean the current Wolves are FOCUSED this week to bring there A game to the DUCKS.
"We have not won on the west coast since I have been here, and that's something we all have in the back of our minds. We're going to Oregon with our A-GAME and to WIN!" said fifth year senior Jeremy Lesuir..
The thing here is this, The Wolves know this maybe there hardest road game of the year. (minnesota will ultimately be) there focused and experienced and VERY talented.. I see them winning out-west in what will turn into a BIG BLUE onslaught!
~The Wolverines team speed has been the key on Defense so-far. The Offense has grabbed all the attention but the defense and special teams are the true leaders here. Michigan ZONE blitz is devastating with the SPEED they have on the outside, Oregon will turn the ball over and Michigan will benifet yet again from great fIeld position. Breaston, This kid can FLY and a 3 in out deep in your territory turns into a possible nightmare for your punting team.. Everygame he is back returning punts he becomes a huge factor.. HUGE Advantage Defensively and special teams to the WOLVES..
Offense.. Michigan's running game and Perry have grabbed all the PUB for three weeks! Going against Oregon's weak, yes weak secondary its time for future NFL stars like Edwards and Avant to shine.. Navaree makes his coming out party this saturday as the WOlves GO-UP and over the ducks threw the AIR!
PS.. I saw the game plan.. Navarre throw for 3 touches and 280yds. Perry runs for 120.. and the WOLVES win by 17...
GOOD LUCK!
