Agree it’s a lot of points.
outside of distractions they’ve had 2 weeks to prepare, Rutgers only team to stay within 20+ in B10. Buckeyes beat @Purdue by 34 (41-7). Home game should easily get Michigan a few more points. Could Wolves be rusty or looking ahead to Penn St
, maybe. They didn’t let up on MSU and suspect even with big lead they continue to try to pour it on. Fans, coaches, players I believe are out to prove a point. Maybe a little pissed too on their playoff ranking.My money says, 50 points + and just a matter of Michigan D allowing any late 3rd/4th string type TDs. But like MSU game even those backups were trying very hard to not allow any TDs.
only other wildcard is Purdue changing their signs and calls. Purdue coach said it as difficult changing and learning new language in short time, so could work against both teams.
56-7 Michigan.
GL to anyone for or against.
You could be 100% right
As a former athlete and always a competitor, I like to think they all are finding or have something to motivate themselves. Real or perceived but that extra juice to perform at peak. 2 weeks of hearing and seeing all the social media BS on these claims of cheating. Hard for me personally to think none or most players and coaches are not ”extra” motivated but again I’m not in their practices, mtgs, or pregame talks.
In either outcome of game, it will still be a guess as to what motivated Michigan. Unless a player or Harbaugh himself says after that all this was or wasn’t a factor, it’ll be hard to guess correctly.
All I think is no other team/school should be more motivated given what we have seen and heard. Including a coach/analyst resigning. Who else has this type of factor to use this week?
I think it’s too easy to use. And why not use. Us vs the World. Rest of season.
Appreciate your thoughts. Fun to see how plays out.
