Can you freakin believe it? Michigan has taken a 20-19 lead after looking like a HS team in the first half and trailing 19-0.

I told everyone they have as much talent as anyone in the big ten, aside from maybe OSU. Just alot of inexperience. This is fun to watch!

How much you want to bet Evridge gives the "Juice Williams" performance against OSU next week? He is awful right now, and very flustered. I will be furious if he is scrambling around and throwing strikes next weekend.


Michigan seems to stuff the run well. It's hard to believe Wisky didn't bring in Beckum earlier if he is able to play. What a tool Brett B. is for waiting so long.

I agree---But that is why they play two halves. Plus, it is not over yet, Wisconsin just has to score and get two points.

Wow....What a tail of two halves. If Michigan holds on this is huge.

But even the 1st half was Michigan's fault. Wisconsin has looked awful throughout.

If Wisconsin looks good next week, I might kick my dog. :-D

Wisconsin had to take advantage of the opportunities in the first half and did not put them away. The Team Up North can not continue playing terrible in the first half and expect to win the game. If they play the first half like they did the second they will be very tough.

I agree---It was unreal how they were continueing to make the same mistakes over and over. Put the ball in the opposite hand away from the defender.

Michigan has the talent to turn things around, we'll see what happends.

I was really surprised Wisconsin didn't just pound it at Michigan and throw 15 and in (play action).

The bad news for OSU is they are going to be p*ssed. I still think OSU wins.

The winner of this game was Meatchicken's D--they could have been down 35 to 0 at the half.

Then their O seemed to get away from that junk Rod. is trying to run.

I don't know what game you were watching, but the two biggest plays offensively for Michigan came out of the spread (Threet 58 yard run, Minor draw out of the spread).

I think Minor needs more than 2 carries a game he had 2 carries for 35 yards this game let him run some

He is so streaky, I don't know how you can trust him. He puts the ball on the ground too much, and he missed an easy catch for big yards earlier in the game, than he makes a big play, what do you do?

BTW, the new structures have really helped to keep the sound in the Big House.

it was 14-0 and michigan had turned it over for the forth time when i left for homecoming

GO BLUE! WOW looks like they have it in them to go out and win some big ones. PSU and OSU are the true test though. MSU can better the big brother this year and UM being the little brother but with an effort like today they can win.

If Michigan could hang on to the ball instead of giving it up like it's welfare money, they'd likely be 3-1 right now.
