BUSY!

Whirlwind week that included being stuck in Atlanta for a night, jetlag, football banquets, interviews and subbing for a bunch of prick 7th graders


So I'm entering into the Tbone category of blogging effort.

3 Things:

1. Drob vs Tmart

The QB who plays the better game likely wins it. 

2. Mike Martin vs Errybody

After Tbone declared the Mike Martin hype dead after the UM-MSU game, he's gone out and dominated in three straight games. 

3. Pat vs Happiness

Optimism, true optimism is creeping in.  I called this game a free roll, that's still true.  Win or lose tomorrow this season will be defined as a success or a failure by next week's game.  However, this is still an important game as far as national perception is concerned.

Prediction:

Michigan's defense looked nearly dominant last week.  I'm a bit cynical, believing the performance was more about Illinois being terrible rather than Michigan being dominant.  We'll find out more tomorrow but my expectation is that both Burkhead and Martinez have good days on the ground attacking the edges of Michigan's D as the young DE's make mistakes in the option game.  I also think Nebraska's defense isn't anywhere near great.  Playing in the Big House, I think Michigan will move the ball throughout the game.  If they capitalize in the red zone and get off to a good start I think they'll win this game.  This was a game I pegged as a likely loss before the season so it's nice being a little more confident now.

31-28 Michigan
