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.

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.

I think Michigan is favored by 3, and I think that's probably pretty close to the scoring difference in the game.

If Michigan is able to exploit a truly weak D-line, the difference could be bigger. Alternatively, if Utah's D line is better than I expect, I think Utah wins by 7+.

I think Utah can win this game. If it was at home I think Utah would win this game. I think that App State hurt Utah's chances of Michigan overlooking them a little. I think Michigan wins in a close one and Utah gives them all they can handle. BTW I would predict the same if BYu were traveling to Michigan this week.

UM - 27
Utah -24

The BIG 11 is Over-rated (clap, clap, clap-clap-clap).

barring injuries like last year, utah will come out on top and their offense will look like it has been promised us the last 2 years. with two quality running backs, i am more excited about the offense than i have been in years past.
