first one to 13 wins?

this game is going to be a knockout defensive slugfest.

YOU'D THINK that a 5th year Sr QB who has started like 30+ games at Iowa/MICH combined would have a huge advantage at home over a frosh NW QB making his 5th or 6th ever start and his first real test on the road, but honestly I'd give the QB edge to NW. Rudock seriously sucks.

Hopefully Michigan can win in spite of him like they have been doing all year, but I doubt it.

NW- 13
Michigan- 10

Michigan is going to spank them by 20. Northwestern is bad at harnessing momentum, and is due for a stinker.

don't buy it.

Jake Rudock doesn't read through progressions well, he stares down his WR's, he's horribly inaccurate on any pass over 15-20 yards in the air, if his first read isn't open he panics and runs or checks it down for 2 yards, he's thrown 6 INT's to 5 TD's and he's played some pretty mediocre defenses the past 4 weeks, and I don't know how many times he's fumbled this year at least 4 I would say.

He is very shitty. His OL has been giving him enough time, he 'as had all day on some deep throws just missed them terribly. Jehu Chesson has gotten wide open this year maybe 5 times for would be 40+ yard TD bombs, Rudock never even came close once. Darboh got open deep a few times as well, Rudock missed him. Drake Harris got open deep, Rudock threw the ball out of bounds, Harris made a great adjustment and caught it...out of bounds...bc that's where dipshit Rudock threw it. It's like he doesn't even look for Jake Butt either half the time.

Michigan has run for over 200+ each of the last 4 games, yet Rudock still has not been able to do a thing passing in any of the last 4 games. He is very terrible.

Michigan isn't beating any legit team like NW by 20 with Rudock at QB. We'll be lucky to win today.

Iowa got better without Rudock.....

Rudock SUCKS

This.

Everything Iowa fans said about him was 100% on the money. It was wishful thinking to think he'd magically get better under Harbaugh. Harbaugh is doing his best to hide Rudock, just like he did with Alex Smith at the 49ers, but Rudock just sucks.

Sad part is that Rudock is the best QB on the roster because those dipshits Borges and Hoke were god awful at recruiting QB's. They recruited Russell Bellomy who should've never been offered ever. Bellomy had a wet noodle for an arm and against Nebraska he had maybe the worst performance that I've ever seen out of a Michigan QB.

Their other QB's were Shane Morris, and Wilton Speight. Morris and Speight were big kids with big arms, that's it. Never showed much of anything else on the actual football field.

Morris was definitely a take, but you DON'T burn the redshirt of a kid like that who is extremely raw, and you definitely DON'T promise him to not take another QB in the class before him or in his class.

The fact that Rudock is the best QB on the roster is a total indictment on the ineptitude of Hoke/Borges.

coaching matters. lol.

This coaching staff is excellent. Zordich and Jackson both coached and played secondary in the NFL. These CB's have taken a massive leap forward under them. Mallory was a pathetic DB coach. Ty Wheatley coached and played in the NFL. Greg Mattison staying on as the DL coach was a total steal for Michigan. Durkin is a young coach with a rising profile who was the DC of some very good Florida defenses under Muschamp.

Drevno is one of the best OL coaches in the country, and he's turned a unit that was pathetic in 2014 into a respectable one in 2015.

Baxter who used to be at USC might be the best special teams coach in the country. The special teams last year were a disaster, they are a strength this year. Also feel like it's just a matter of time before Peppers houses a punt return.

Harbaugh is still doing this without a QB of his choosing. If Gentry or Peters turn out to be the real deal, then they will really take off as a program.

Either NW was over rated or Utah is over rated well see when the game with CAL is over.

Man, I was hoping Michigan would at least struggle a year rebuilding. Harbaugh has this team on track and they will probably win at least 10 games. Here's to hoping he doesn't take to long to look back at the NFL.

Skunkbears running a effective Big10 offense with stiflingly defence is a scary thing.

Brady Hoke won the sugar bowl his first year. Charlie Weis took Notre Dame to back to back BCS bowls...But sadly they didn't have Harboughs pedigree.
