A flight of just over an hour in the same time zone is not going to affect them nearly as much as their plane crashing into a ditch will. The line seems to be narrowing, and I assume that to be the reason. Still, I never have good feelings when we play Michigan.
I think if we're gonna analyze it the biggest issue is that they had to convene this morning at 6. Which means their guys probably had to get up at like 5-5:30. On a night where they maybe wouldn't have slept too well because of their stress from the day, but also knowing they were gonna have to try to redo it immediately the next day. I think we're saying jet lagged, but really mean they might be worn down by mental stress and physical exhaustion.

Don't know if this has been posted anywhere yet. Sound like there are just cuts and bruises. Glad they are safe, but now wondering how this will affect the game today.
Heavy doses of Mav. Kick outs and threes...we do that and we win. I think our defense shows up and pushes hard. We will win this one...
Mav needs to handle the double a lot better than he did last time.
