Thoughts:

Purdue is a bad football team. Bad football team crossing three time zones to face an angry and fast team? Not a recipe for success. They gave up 300+ on the ground last year vs Oregon and will do so again, even without Blount.

UM/ND is typically a dog series with games in South Bend going over the total and games on field turf in A2 going under. I see this game bucking the trend and being a high scoring affair. UM has a very young secondary that will struggle with ND's short, short, short then deep passing game. ND's screen game will slow down an aggressive UM front 4. On the other side, Jon Tenuta has been horrific vs the spread. In games since 2006 he's faced spreads WV, Utah, VT, Michigan and Purdue. In those 5 games his defenses have given up an avg of 28ppg and 440 ypg. A lousy UM offense Michigan moved the ball with ease last year vs ND and should do the same (at times) this year. Conditions should be ideal with temps in the mid 70's and clear skies.

Cuse is certain to be emotionally spent this week after losing a heartbreaker to Minny. Paulus was shockingly impressive last week but I don't see him continuing that type of play on the road vs a very disciplined (though not amazingly talented) Penn State defense. This isn't a look ahead week for Penn St as they have lowly Temple on deck.

Wanted to take Air Force but I just can't pull the trigger. Hard to gauge all the emotional stuff, new stadium, coming off overtime win, Cal on deck.....

GL all

Falcon and I will be tailgating on the golf course if you get a chance to stop by. Our site is up against the north fence right across from the stadium. Blue tent and some of the only Ohio license plates you'll see!!

Like oregon alot...purdue is awful and bolden's stats are smoke and mirrors...Lamichael James from oregon has a ton of shake and bake to him and should carve up that purdue defense

I'm not buying the syracuse emotional letdown, if anything should give them confidence of battling back and competing with a big 10 bowl team....I also do not foresee penn state putting the ball in the air 44 times this weekend, rather getting the ground game going and shortening the game, should come close to the number but I think cuse keeps it to 24....

in any case LETS go Michigan!!
