Michigan @ Rutgers/26.5 point spread/WTF/do I just flip a coin???

Michigan is #5 in the cfp rankings. Odd team out. Bubble Boy. You think Har. is gonna go easy on any team? He ain't gonna let up on anything, imo.
This... exactly. A lot of other good points are made by other posters. I was going to type the same thing as above. You look at what Michigan did to Penn State. Can Rutgers make it closer? Unless Michigan throws the uniforms on the field hoping that is enough to win.

But boy, I was right about that first half.
"run it up the middle, that will be fine" - Harbaugh
"Coach that didn't work"
"do it again!"

that was also the 2021 Rutgers game.

Not sure why he wouldn't?

You need to run the ball to win the Big 10. Work on it when/while you can.

I said the same thing last season when everybody was criticizing Michigan's passing game early on in OOC. I said that Harbaugh's working on the run prior to getting into Big 10 play. It worked since they ultimately won the Big 10 with nice wins over Ohio St and Iowa (CCG).

Michigan rushed for 282 yds against Rutgers. Good enough for 3rd nationally when comparing against the entire season rankings. Michigan is #4 nationally on the entire season anyway.
Rutgers had a decent defense against the run going into the game. They were 14th in total defense going into the game and have now dropped to 18th.

If I'm Harbaugh I run, run, run against Nebraska even if it's not working early. Nebraska's D line will be mush by the 2nd half.

The one good thing is that so many teams are pass heavy now days, I think we catch many teams off guard (like Penn state) when they hit a run heavy team that executes well. They don’t practice against it and they only see it once a year.

And yeah, that seems to be what happens. We start slow in the first half and then teams just get tired. I’d just love to connect on a few more throws when that happens
