Utah vs. Michigan Prediction Thread

[DrumNFeather]

I just don't know what to think about this game. All signs point to the fact that Utah has a good chance to win, and I believe they do, but there are so many unknowns with Michigan that it's just hard to tell.

Probably heart over head on this one, but I think Utah wins it 31-21.

Michigan: 24
Utah: 17

I think Utah has a great secondary but Michigan still has some of the best skill players out there, Matthews, Stonum, Mcguffie and Shaw are all very good. If Utah can get to the QB they have a good chance because Michigan has a patchwork O-line. However Michigans defense is arguably the best in the big 10 (I think Ohio State is #1 then Michigan) with two all-americans at corner in Donovan Warren and Morgan Trent, the number 1 corner recruit in the country in Boubacar Cissoko, returning all-big 10 safety Brandon Harrison and returning all-american nose tackle Terrence Taylor.

I think Michigan is better than people think, but Utah does have a good chance to win this game.

If it is a close game in the 4th Quarter, Utah will find a way to lose and I will believe this until my man KW shows me that his teams can win close games.

I think Utah has to keep this D-Line off balance all game and throw screens etc at them vs. running it between the tackles. They need to run these guys all over the field and tire them out.

Is McGuffie going to get any playing time this year?

He is going to start actually, he will play running back and slot reciever, They are going to use two freshman (Shaw and Mcguffie) as both RBs and slot reciever basically gettng them the ball anyway they can. They will also use Miner as well.

Mcguffie has been getting rave reviews so far in camp.
