I'm gonna be in my seat and ready for this game promptly at noon....a quick start and a quieter than normal crowd would do wonders for us....anything less than a fast start could be very dangerous...

we should know quickly whether Frost has got the guys ready to compete in this game....

As often as not, major upsets result when the favored team starts off with an easy drive which causes them to underestimate the opponent. Then it's impossible to ramp back up. On the other hand, most "upset alerts" see the better team come back in time, often winning by a couple scores.

you really do wear your "Prof" hat 7X24 don't you:) I agree there are deviations that have been successful but the statistics show that a strategy of taking risks early and continuing to execute a surprise strategy, throughout the game, to keep the favorite off balance is the best approach for an upset victory....
 
Challenge will be in trenches stopping their run, and keeping out the pass rush to give our QB time to pass.:sunglasses:

I think Michigan is going to be surprised at our WR speed and will struggle matching up against Jordan Akins, world class athlete.
The challenge will be for Oline, we are going to have to move the pocket and Holman will need to run for 60+ yards

Jourdan Lewis, Michigan's star CB, is the #2 Cornerback in the country according to PFT and likely to be first rounder in this next draft.
 
Scratch that. Looks like Harbaugh is keeping JD out as a precaution this game.

UCF will be facing Michigan's 2nd and 3rd string CBs.
I have a feeling if UCF makes the game close that old Jim will find a way to get JD in the game. Harbaugh hates losing more than anything else.
 
So the list of Michigan players not playing due to injury is De'Veon Smith, Jourdan Lewis, Bryan Mone, Taco Charlton, David Long, Drake Johnson and Noah Furbush. Ben Braden and Maurice Hurst are probable but dinged up. I'm telling you guys, with the injuries and the weather this game will be a lot closer than many think.

I agree wholeheartedly. It sounds like he could play if needed, but don't want to risk worsening the issue.

For the record though, UM is now without their starting CB, 2 starting DL, and their starting RB.
