I think Michigan continues to show what a fraud MSU is.

MSU challenges officials to take control of game vs. Michigan
http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20121017/SPORTS0202/210170454#ixzz29f2FAY00
I have an idea. How about MSU just doesn't play dirty. That should solve it. Idiots.

Mind you, this is the same guy that said "60 Minutes of Unnecessary Roughness" after last year's game. What a tool.

Honestly, UM should win this game.
But I have a feeling that this could be an upset.

Unless DR is a turnover machine again (could happen) I don't see how MSU wins this game. They've lost at HOME to Notre Dame, Ohio State (not a great football team) and Iowa(not a good football team).

I'm sure they do, but until recently I don't think Michigan has been taking defense seriously. As long as they keep playing defense, don't turn the ball over and let DR do his thing I don't see MSU winning.WebFire;1298216 wrote:MSU plays their best against UM.

With as well as Brady Hoke has done with Michigan so far, the one part where he struggles is actually letting Robinson do his thing. There has been a clear regression in his performance.FatHobbit;1298239 wrote:I'm sure they do, but until recently I don't think Michigan has been taking defense seriously.

In regards to this season alone, they apparently learned quite a bit from Alabama, and then really realized it after ND. If they keep doing what they have for the last few games, DR will be fine. If they revert back to Alabama and ND type play calling, then they are screwed.Fly4Fun;1298243 wrote:With as well as Brady Hoke has done with Michigan so far, the one part where he struggles is actually letting Robinson do his thing.

Ugly win. MSU really focused on the read option plays and it worked. Borges was lost when that was taken away. DR wasn't impressive, but just enough to win. Which is all he needs, I guess.

Ugly or not, MSU is always a battle. Nice to have the Paul Bunyan trophy back in Ann Arbor. Michigan should crack the Top 20 with #19, #21, #23, and #24 teams losing. Denard has 447 more yards to go before he passes Pat White's All Time Rushing QB mark with 5 games to go. That's just a little under 90 yards a game needed. I think he'll do it.

One thing I was worried about was the defense vs. a power run type of team. We've been playing pretty much all spread teams lately, and the two teams that had GOOD running games were Alabama and Air Force. In both of those games, the D looked BAD.
After yesterday, I feel a lot better vs. a team like Wisconsin, or another team with a more traditional balanced attack. A lot of focus and praise goes to Denard and the offense, but this D might actually end up being better than last years and one of the better ones since 2000.
Ugly win, but I'll take it because it builds character IMO.

Yep, knew MSU would be tough. Like I said above, MSU always brings their best against Michigan. Dantonio hates Michigan almost to the point of obsession.
