If your like me, every Michigan fan has two sides of their brain. One side, thinks the only way for the Wolverines to get back in favor this weekend is to put up 100 on Rutgers. The other side, says could Michigan lose this game? Maybe there is a third side that says, when does basketball start?
That is the world we live in right now. Michigan's best player and current MVP through 3 games is its punter. Not good folks, lets look at some numbers:
Total Offense:
Michigan 116
Rutgers 120
Passing Offense:
Michigan 97
Rutgers 101
Rushing Offense:
Michigan 116
Rutgers 122
Total Defense:
Michigan 26
Rutgers 46
Passing Defense:
Michigan 5
Rutgers 12
Rushing Defense:
Michigan 89
Rutgers 92
So what do you think? Do you see a huge disparity between those numbers? I sure don't. Michigan's passing defense is so good because they have played 2 teams that have barley attempted a pass. If your the 89th rushing defense, you might see a few runs against you.
Michigan is so bad in every category this reminds me of the Hoke/RR years where they could barely do anything right. Don Brown better be sleeping at his office with his 89th ranked rushing defense. What the hell is that?
This is also a nightmare start for Gattis and the Wolverines offense. 116th offense with an experienced offensive line, NFL WR's, and a 5 star 5th year senior QB. Gattis could have taken a vacation during Fall Camp and this team would be better offensively.
To answer the question in the title, Michigan is Rutgers right now. Vegas has Michigan -27.5 right now, taking the points seems like a strong position with the above stats.
