Akron at Michigan,
Noon ET
This should be a sizable win for Michigan at home. Coming
off the emotional win against Notre Dame, the Wolverines could use a game like
this, where it can afford to make some mistakes and still win. I don’t know that
Michigan will look real crisp, as they could be looking past Akron, but the
Wolverines should still win with ease. The Zips haven’t shown much ability to
stop weaker offenses than Michigan, so look for Devin Gardner to put up
impressive numbers. Michigan also should be able to work in a lot of running
back options and the defense should hold Akron in check.

Youngstown State
at Michigan State, 2PM ET
MSU could spice this game up by having head coach Mark
Dantonio spin a wheel prior to each offensive possession to determine which of
the four quarterback options will take the field. The crowd would at least be
on the edge of its seat for that. Youngstown State isn’t a bad FCS program and
the Spartans would be foolish to come into this game overconfident for any
reason, given its extreme offensive struggles. The Spartans need to find their
offensive identity in this game, because it can’t go into the rest of the
schedule not knowing who their quarterback is. I expect the MSU defense to
continue to be impressive, but you can’t expect two more touchdowns this week.
This one will be on the offense, and the unit better answer the call. If it can’t
score against Youngstown State, just who are the Spartans going to score
against?
