Jesus, a 72 yd run by Tex. So, this Michigan Wisconsin game coming up, do either of those teams play defense?

Am I the only person who thinks Wisc +10 is almost free money? Unlike most folks here, I'm a big Jim Harbaugh fan (2nd best football coach on the planet, imo), but there's a huge talent gap here that's going to be exposed -- Wisconsin is an awfully good team, Harbaugh is still mostly coaching Hoke's guys. Michigan might find a way to win, but by > 10 points??
Hoke generally recruited ok, he just couldn't develop the players once they got there. It's a big reason Harbaugh has turned things around so fast, he had some talent to work with there.

Also, the advanced stats looove Michigan so far, and are mixed on Wisconsin, largely because Wisconsin struggled to beat Georgia State at home while Michigan has crushed everyone they've played. And Wisconsin's victory over LSU looks a lot less impressive now that LSU has turned out to be mediocre than it did when LSU was ranked #5.

I think the line is maybe a couple of points too high, because Wisconsin's D is legit and Michigan's QB is a real weakness. But Michigan is properly a legit favorite.

Michigan could certainly lose, but talent gap? Michigan is projected to have 9 or 10 players drafted this year.

Wow. Didn't know that. Certainly wouldn't have known they had that kind of talent when Hoke was coaching them two years ago.

M is going to be scary-good when Harbaugh's recruits start working their way into the ranks of upperclassmen in s year or two.

Dirty ass "block" from a Wiscy DB knocks out Newsome. They teach you to chop block defending the run, really?

Something like 17 or 18 freshmen have seen the field this year for Harbaugh. Yeah, a lot of his players are Brady's guys. But his guys have made an impact too.

2 missed kicks for Kenny Allen today. Ali Haji-Sheikh is not walking through that door, fans. Mike Gillette is not walking through that door. Jay Feely is not walking through that door.
