Well, it's here: Michigan week.
Also known (lately) as "Will We Ever F'in Beat Those Guys" week.
I saw that Penn State opened as a 4 point favorite. This is shocking to me. Then again, joe public probably doesn't know that Penn State hasn't beaten Michigan since 1996 (8 losses in a row and counting).
I'll have my prediction later in the week, but let's just say that I'm not the slightest bit confident. This game scares me. It will be really interesting to see what Penn State does on offense this game. We all know that the defense will be sound, especially if they're going up against a freshman QB in Mallett.
But what about the offense? Will they open it up, and air it out (ala Appy State and Oregon), or will they pull a classic "play not to lose" and try and pull out a 17-16 victory. By playing conservatively on offense, that plays right into Michigan' defensive "strength" (see Michigan-Notre Dame 38-0).
However, air it out, and go on the attack with a great WRs and Quarless back at TE, and we could make it a long day for the Wolverines (see: Michigan-Appy State or Michigan Oregon)
Can't wait to see what the coaching staff does.

Line down to 2.5 on Pinnacle. I'm just hoping that after the beating the public took yesterday in the NFL, they're able to get an easy one back on PSU. That being said, this game also makes me quite nervous.
