Must win for Michigan?

It is week 2 of the College football season and it already feels like must win territory for Jim Harbaugh and the Michigan Wolverines. In his debut at Michigan, the Wolverines gel to Utah 24-17. The loss at Utah looks much closer than it actually was as the Wolverines scored in garbage time . Today, they welcome Oregon State from the Pac 10, a conference that has dominated the big ten in recent years. Not only does the big ten need this game but Khaki Jim needs it as the rumblings of a coaching change have already started. More was expected of the Wolverines last week in Utah, especially on offensive with Harbaugh being a mastermind calling the O. With Mike Petin on the hot seat before the Cleveland Browns have even played one series this season, my sources close to football have said the Browns may target Harbaugh and Michigan may be happy to welcome in a new coach, perhaps Mike Petin?

Although it would be unprecedented, nfl coaches swapping spots with college coaches has happened before. Will it happen again? Don’t take it to Vegas just yet. If Petin can produce 6-8 wins, he’s almost a lock to stay in Cleveland. Harbaugh will have a challenge getting Michigan to a bowl game even with a schedule that doesn’t appear difficult. Michigan is still a bottom feeder in the big ten.

As it stands, Michigan is up 10-7 on Oregon State at the half, so don’t hold your breath Cleveland…and stay away from Vegas.

Wait...What? It was 17-10 going into the 4th, with Michigan driving. DId you actually watch the game? Michigan threw a pick 6 and responded by scoring to make it 24-17. Utah than ran out the clock. Utah was a 10 win program and top 25 team, they're expected to be very good again. You do realize they played their first game on the road, with elevation being a factor.

You can't be serious about 90% of your response are you? Michigan has a brand new QB, who had all of a month to learn the offense. Michigan is ushering in a brand new system.

Michigan hasn't played a single Big Ten game and they are a bottom feeder? Based on what? A 7 point loss to Utah at Utah?

Said at the beginning of the year, Michigan's defense was its strength by far, and how they did this year would rely on how well the offense grows.

I said 7-5 to 9-3 depending on the offense.
I picked losses to Utah, MSU, & OSU, and that their games with PSU, MINN, & NW will determine the year.

Right now, if lean more toward the 9-3 side.
If they continue to progress, that in-state game in AA might see them get 10-2 out of it.
