just want to give a reality check to all those talking about how great TCU"s 2nd halfs are. and they are very very strong. . but don't udnerstimate michigan in the 2nd half

Mich 6.33 against vs. TCU 12.22 againgt
Spread

Michigan give up 5.89 ppg less then TCU
Spread, overall 2nd half,
Michigan 21.37 to TCU 8.66
Michigan outscored TCU in 2nd half over its oppents differential by 12.68 points per game, and if you take out the 8 starters ut at illionis it is even bigger
Btw. Jj brought them back to win the game there
speaking of the one tough game michigan had in Illionois. 1. illliois was ranked 15 in the nation 2 weeks before their game. they overlooked MSU and lost, would have been top 10 going into michigan. and if they didn't have to also face i think it was ietehr OSU or Penn state, they would have finished higher. so they are very good.
2. michigan began the game with 7 of the 8 mot important starters out of the game, including edwards. on defense and offense both. then before the half they lost theirt most importnat guy on the team period. . so it isn't exactly like this game's final score was indictiive of anything
of course i will be fair. by the same token. the OSU game was very close until the 4th quarter with 8 minutes left and very close for 52 minutes
If Max didn’t play football he would bring his character and team spirit to whatever he did. Max inspires those around him.
michigan may be ranked what they , but all season long, and even now, Michigan actaully has teh attitude they are the underdot regardless of if they are faovred by 3 or 40, or if they are unfavored by the same amounts. they have that mentality. most people don't understand this
Good questions & thoughtful logical answers.
tcu solid agsaint run? what? they are ranked like 66th against the run. bigan robinson. oh i love that one. he only has 12 carries. yet all the lesser runners /teams averaged like 170 yards rushing , and michigan is a better running team then anyone they faced, and a better oline, and michigan is not going to give up on the run just becasue it doens't work a time or 2 like texas. plus they have a running and very good qb compared to texas
