Players to watch:
Kevin Mouhon - DE
Cortez Broughton - DT
Perry Young - WLB
Tyrell Gilbert - SLB
Linden Stephens - CB
Prediction:
While undersized, their front 7 puts up very respectable numbers, especially their outside linebackers. Lots of speed and ball-hawking ability from the LB's will make it interesting to see how successful our tight ends are over the middle. While they look respectable up front on defense, their Free Safety had to lead the team with 18 tackles last week so we should be able to have a big game rushing. Their offense is non-existent and I already feel bad for their inexperienced offensive line. Wouldn't surprise me to see a few lackluster drives out of our offense early but with their offense not being able to move the ball, we'll wear down the defense and eat up a lot of clock in doing so.
Michigan wins 48-0
