Pac 12 folks are sure excited to hopefully pull out a W here, can't say I disagree with them. Oregon State then has them the following week. Don't see much of a chance for OSU to pull out the upset but I would love to see Harbaugh have a rough start.

 

[Irish YJ]

I hope it's really rough....
I loved Jim as QB for the Colts, but F*** Michigan.

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

0-2 to start the season would be delicious for Michigan.

 

[ACamp1900]

I expect Utah... OSU can get them too though I won't expect it

 

[Booslum31]

I think Mich keeps it close until halftime when suddenly they realize/remember that they suck and then get smoked in the second half.

I'm really hoping to taste sweet, sweet scumbear tears tomorrow...

Me too because michigan sux! I hope they prove that fact tomorrow.

 

[mgriff]

I'm giddy with anticipation.

 

[DomeX2 eNVy]

We are all Utes tomorrow!!!

The altitude and Utah's experience wear down UM late.

 

[phork]

Fuck Michigan. Can't be said enough.

 

[Irish Insanity]

I had to stop following the local radio guy on twitter. He's calling for a 7 pt Michigan win. Says the QB makes the difference and Peppers makes a game changing play. Then again he followed that by tweeting Michigan will win a conference and national title in his 3rd year.

 

[gkIrish]

Only time in my life I've been jealous of Michigan fans.

Crap I bet on Michigan by accident. Was trying to increase my Utah bet. Oh well....

 

[Irish YJ]

again,
F*** Michigan
That is all

We get to see what we could of had in Ty Issac. I'm interested to see how they use him at RB.

I thought Ty Isaac had to sit out this season?

Didn't he transfer in and sit out last season?

 

[woolybug25]

Didn't he transfer in and sit out last season?

You're right. It will be interesting to see what he does.

 

[BleedBlue&Gold]

This has got to be said... F*** MICHIGAN!!!!!

Bump

sounds like DeVeon Smith will be the starter. I think you'll see plenty of Ty and Derrick Green imo.

I like Derrick Green the best of the 3. He's got some physical abilities the other two guys just don't have. He's more explosive and has a gear the other two don't have. Needs to stay in shape and healthy though. He came into Michigan at 249 pounds as a freshman and wound up breaking his collarbone in the 4th or 5th game of his sophomore season.

Drake Johnson would be the starter today IMO if he didn't tear an ACL for the 2nd time in his career last year against Ohio State. Drake got an opportunity late last year and was the best RB on the roster. Believe he had 14 carries for 70+ yards and had scored his 2nd TD of the day early in the 3rd QTR of the Ohio State game when he tore the ACL. Drake was a 2* recruit from Ann Arbor Pioneer, a track kid who hadn't really played much football until his senior year of HS, blew up and got a scholarship to Michigan.

Johnson has been cleared to play, wasn't listed on the depth chart. We'll see if he plays.

 

[Irish Insanity]

Tom, what's your in depth prediction for the game tonight?

Tom, what's your in depth prediction for the game tonight?

I just think it's too much to ask for Michigan to pull out the win. Utah is a damn good team, and it's a home night game for them.

Too many unknowns with Michigan right now. That offensive line will get better, Tim Drevno is a hell of a coach, but right out of the gate? I don't think so. I think Harbaugh will get them to improve as a team as the season goes on, but it's a lot to ask in game 1.

I don't think we'll get blown out, I think Harbaugh is the type of coach whose teams play tough for 60 minutes, so it should be a close game.

In the end though I think Utah wins. I'll say, Utah - 23, Michigan - 17

Interestingly enough the spread is 5.5. I think that score looks about right. Utah doesn't have an offense to blow anybody out.

 

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

Tim Brando? CBS guy on my local radio said he expects UM to have maybe 1 opportunity to score a td against Utah D. He expects fgs, and a Utah win.

 

[Irish Insanity]

How good is this HOU D?

 

[UPMich_NDfan]

I picked a scUM win... just in the event they pull a scUM of past years and find some ridiculous way to luck out and win a game, at least I'll benefit from it in some way. I hope they are in for a slaughter tho, shut up all the sickening love affair for harbaugh I have had to put up with on Facebook in recent months. Go Utes!

 

[IrishSteelhead]

Michigan is going to wipe them out. I'm NEVER wrong.
