Barron You come at the king, you best not miss. The Road Ahead Michigan State (6-0, 3-0 B1G) Last week: Won at Rutgers, 31-13 Recap: Michigan State continued their… Wait, Michigan State shouldn’t be first. Really? We go in chronological order, and they’re Michigan’s next opponent. Check again. Okay, but this is a waste of time, but I’ll double-check the sched… oh. Yeah. Well this is embarrassing.

Fear Level = 3 Michigan should worry about: Michigan doesn’t need to worry about the possibility that they’re looking past Northwestern. Because it isn’t a “chance.” They are 100% looking past Northwestern. The goal is to not look TOO far past Northwestern. Like, yes, falling down the stairs is the bigger problem, but don’t completely overlook the Legos strewn about the hallway at the top of the stairs. Michigan can sleep soundly about: Ryan Hilinski has replaced Hunter Johnson’s 5.7 yards per attempt, 4 TDs and 4 INTs with… 5.7 yards per attempt, 1 TD, and 0 INTs. I don’t know what that says, but I am pretty sure if Papa Doc had called B-Rabbit “boring Hunter Johnson” at the end of 8 Mile, he would have won.
You know, we just tried to stay within the offense and take what the defense gave us out there. Unfortunately, once we were down 28-0 and Wink slept with my girlfriend, it got away from us a little bit there. When they play Michigan: Repeat after me:
Next game: vs. Rutgers, noon, BTN (Pick ‘em) [AFTER THE JUMP: Okay, NOW it’s them.]
