I know sparty is no good but it's still a rivalry game. I'm very impressed by all 3 phases of UM's game, O, D and G. The PP and PK have been very good as well. I'm pretty excited about this team going forward. I think the playoffs are certainly doable. They just need to avoid the losses to some crummy teams that have bit them in the past.

Which is what they did last night - avoided a bad loss. Do it again against OSU next weekend.
