SOC: Michigan

I think this one will be close. Mostly because the match-ups are close. They have the top offense in the Big Ten - we have the third best defense. They have the worst defense in the Big Ten, and we have the #10 offense. Stoppable Force meets Moveable Object - who wins?

The tipping point in this one, I think, is Mikel Leshoure. To win, we need to do what we did at Penn State - hold the ball for long periods of time with 12 play drives. This wears down the defense AND keeps Denard off the field. Control the ball with Mikel, and you control the game.
