Not to mention both of there starting DE's are out, good luck stopping Denard Robinson on the read option without good DE play. LOL at people thinking that is believable. Right, because UCONN has a higher probability of beating Michigan than Michigan does of beating Bowling Green. Keep believing that is realistic though. Michigan will light up UCONN's defense and UCONN does not have the passing game to keep up.

Here is what Gives UCONN the Edge, Greg Robinson. His Defense and his schemes will be nothing new to UCONN. UCONN is a veteran team that damn near won 10 games last year, Michigan continues on its downward spiral. Michigan will get punched in the face by a more experienced and physical team, How they react will only determine how many points they lose by.

Take it for what its worth, I won about 1.5K betting football games last year, I won about 70% of my games. I'm taking UCONN and the points.

The Preseason is fun, but reality is all but a week away, enjoy it while you can.

I'm taking UCONN as well. I don't have much confidence in a team who won 5 games last year.

I wouldn't put much confidence with any team that has Greg Robinson as a Defensive Coordinator.

And if look closely the reason they didn't is because they could not win games when they had to pass at a high level in order to win. Calling their qb Frazier average and wr's average is actually being generous.

They will have to throw at high level if they want to stay in and win this game, if you want to put money on them doing something they didn't even do once last season go right ahead.

And seriously your obsession with hating Greg Robinson is bordering on ridiculous. Being a head coach and defensive coordinator is not the same thing, I remember trying to explain this to you last year I believe, but you wouldn't listen than so I am not going to bother now.

You guys are seriously missing the point, the simulation gives UCONN a 95% chance of winning, which is essentially the same odds it would give them to beat a D2 school. If you feel UCONN is going to win that is one thing, but the percentage is the ridiculous part which like I said throws the credibility of this simulation out the window.

I am only realistically looking at somewhere around a 7-5 record for UM due to the secondary issues, but this is one of the games I have a good deal of confidence in. Notre Dame the following week makes me much nervous.

Look, I'll be pulling for Michigan to beat UCONN (and pretty much everyone else on their schedule as I like UM), but you need to be little more cautious with your optimism. I remember just a few years ago when Michigan fans were on here upset that their team had to play App St. because it was a joke game and we know how that ended. Bottom line, if I had to bet money today who wins, I would probably bet UCONN. Michigan just has too many questions at this point.

You apparently did not listen to me last year, I seem to recall the Michigan Defense getting torched against any decent offense last year. I am not obsessed with Grob, I just know what a lousy coach he is. Lets look at some 2009 Michigan Defensive Rankings:

Total Defense 82
Scoring Defense 77
Pass Defense 67
Rushing Defense 91

They are not nearly as bad as the 2008 Syracuse Defensive rankings, but its about what one would expect from a crappy coach who goes to to teach better players.

I do have to thank Richrod though, He fired one hell of a Defensive Coordinator. The Syracuse Defense improved in every single defensive category, I am very glad we have him

And what you fail to realize is UCONN has just as many. Like I said a subpar to average QB, subpar to average wr's, a pass defense that was even worse than Michigan's last year and both starting DE's being out.

If you want to point me to where I said UM will go 11-1 or something feel free. I realistically said somewhere around 7-5 , but this one of the games I feel confident due to the particular match ups.

UCONN should have trouble slowing down UM's offense and they don't have the potent passing game to take advantage of UM's secondary. Like I said the match up with ND creates more problems.

Look, not disagreeing that UM should win the game. Just not surprised if they don't...nothing surprises me in CFB anymore.
