Michigan is looking very tough. Can our D live up to the hype and stop this high powered offense?
Michigan should beat Iowa but Harbaugh has a habit of trying to play old school football against us. If they stick with the spread an throw it a lot we are in trouble. We haven’t played anybody yet so this will be a good test.
TL;DR: Michigan’s offense fucking sucks.Shea Patterson really scare you? He doesn’t me. Iowa could lose a close, low scoring game, but that Michigan offense isn’t great no matter what they are running.
I’ve watched a few Michigan games and it’s the same old story. Fast wide receivers questionable QB play, athletic defenders. Iowa has the big offensive line, solid defense, but this time skill players that might match Michigans. I like our chances.Michigan should beat Iowa but Harbaugh has a habit of trying to play old school football against us. If they stick with the spread an throw it a lot we are in trouble.

Tough against Rutgers who we saw first hand. Not tough against Whisky.Michigan is looking very tough. Can our D live up to the hype and stop this high powered offense?
Agree I hope Patterson is their QB. We have had success against his QB type, ie. run first pass second guys.Shea Patterson really scare you? He doesn’t me. Iowa could lose a close, low scoring game, but that Michigan offense isn’t great no matter what they are running.
Our skill players do not match Michigan's. Their receivers are much more athletic than ours all across the board, so are their rbs except for Goodson. We struggle mightily with the type of offense they now run, and Stanley won't have all day in the pocket, as they will stack the box, stop the run, pressure him, and make our receivers beat them .I’ve watched a few Michigan games and it’s the same old story.

I’m not sold on our ability to stop them no.Shea Patterson really scare you? He doesn’t me. Iowa could lose a close, low scoring game, but that Michigan offense isn’t great no matter what they are running.
Patterson isn't a run first qb either. McCaffrey and Milton are more dual threat qbs than Patterson is. I don't like our defensive backfield against their receivers, or especially our linebackers trying to cover them in space. They are too athletic.Agree I hope Patterson is their QB.

You are correct in that they have better skill position players. I think the difference this year is, for the first time in a long time, if they stack the box to stop the run we have the threat of throwing the ball down the field. We haven't been able to say that for along time.Our skill players do not match Michigan's. Their receivers are much more athletic than ours all across the board, so are their rbs except for Goodson.

They look tough because they played the equivalent of middle Tennessee st today and in reading our boards, after beating midd tenn st, stanley will be a #1 draft pick, Brian ferentz will surpass kirk’s longevity as coach, we are well on our way to a national title this yearMichigan is looking very tough.
