Quick Friday Night Michigan Preview

Tomorrow Michigan plays Michigan State and god damn do these two teams suck tremendously this year.

Michigan State's offense relies entirely on Javon Ringer, but even his yards per carry is not very good, he's mostly got amazing stats by piling a humongous number of carries. Expect him to get his usual 35 carries for 150 and 2 TDs or so.

Brian Hoyer sucks and is injured so barring major brain cramps by Michigan's defense (which are probably likely), the Michigan State passing game isn't terribly concerning.

Michigan might have found a running game last week with Minor running straight ahead. As long as he doesn't fumble as his usual history, hopefully this will continue to improve.

Michigan can't throw the ball regardless of how good/bad MSU is in the secondary so whatever.

Keys:
Threet being healthy
Don't turn the damn ball over
Prevent a big Ringer run

Prediction:
State 23-20, probably on a stupid fumble on special teams.
