Cinci coming up..

[Nate]

This doesn't look like a tough game on paper and we do have superior talent.  The fact that a lot of the players on Cinci are Ohio kids and the head coach is Dantonio this could end up being closer than many think it should be.

What is everyone thoughts on the upcoming game?

I think O*i* has to much talent at WR and Qb you guys are the team to beat with alot of talent should be a for sure win but an even bigger game U of M and Notre Dame id like to here your thoughts i was kind enough as a Michigan fan to reply to you so id like to hear my rivalrys thoughts.

On UM vs ND:

At this point I have to go with ND.  I think Michigans running game and defense look good.  But their passing game has not been impressive and Henne hasn't shown the ability to win a big game yet.  

I think Brady Quin and the ND offense are going to come out strong early and UM will possibly see itself down 10 to 14 points early and then have to rely on the passing game to get it done and I just don't know if they can do it riding Henne right now.

This is just my prediction.  I could be wrong.  Even though I think ND will win the game because of their offense I'm still not sold that ND's defense isn't an issue for them.

Yes that was my biggest fear was our passing game i just dont understand why it hasnt been dynamic against muffin teams we have a top duo in breaston and manningham but its henne throwing its been off. but i think our run game will keep it close because i watched penn state they had mistakes in the begining and that set the tempo i think hart will rush hard as will grady and i think henne will throw a couple good balls High Scoring!

You never know with Tressel, his priorities:
1. Just win.
2. Teambuilding, play a lot of players. (very smart!)

OSU -29', they can beat them by 40, if they want.
ND -6 vs "m", maybe take the 6 points, ND due to cool down a bit.....but win.



.....oh and thanks Jim Tressel for winning:

24/7

Yah, I thought the score over Texas (24-7) was fitting.

You're right, Tressel just wants to win and play a lot of players.  I think he'll try to reinstate the running game this week.

What I hate is how reporters talk how Michigan is going to get owned. You never know with teams like Mich, Ohi*,And Notre Dame. Every time I watch college gameday I realize who they pick doesnt matter when Michigan plays Nd or Ohi* plays Texas, do you guys know what I mean, it bothers me my opinion... by the way whats your guys next tuff game?
