Michigan or Utah On August 30th?

Question

Who's going to win, Michigan or Utah on August 30?

I got Michigan winning 24-6.

Answer 1

utah

Answer 2

think back to last December when everyone was saying Florida was going to slaughter Michigan in the bowl game. Everyone, even ESPN didnt give Michigan hope. Start of the game what did Florida do? They taunted the wolverine team...We saw how that game turned out...Michigan lost alot, but they still have alot of talent and like always had a top ten recruiting class for the freshman coming in to the season. Michigan will win, but it should be a close game. Expect Michigan to run the bowl until their offense gets in check.

Answer 3

Michigan.

Answer 4

Utah will hang on 20-17.  The Utes are VERY experienced and Mich is getting used to a new system without the athelete necessary at QB in that system.  Michigan is hearing this from the media and will be up for the challenge.  Defensively they will be stout but painful to watch on offense.  ESPN will be saying - if only they had gotten Terrell Pryor

Answer 5

I'm not impressed by Utah at all. As far as I'm concerned, we might as well play Purdue or Northwestern twice. I wouldn't be surprised if Utah makes it a close game with us, but in all likelihood, this is a blowout victory for Michigan. I mean, the Wolverines are going to be so incredibly motivated to win this game after what happened against App State last season, and because RR doesn't want to lose his first game as head coach. The game is at the Big House, and lord knows how tough it is for opposing teams to play at the Big House. Michigan is ten times more talented then the Utes. Kyle Whittingham is a good head coach, but he ain't half of what Rich Rodriguez is. And finally, Utah has no defense to speak of aside from Steve Tate (who was the MVP of Utah’s Poinsettia Bowl win).

The analysts talk alot about Utah's spread offense and how potent it will be. Some analysts have compared this Utah team to last years Oregon team. That’s bullcrap if you ask me. Utah went 9-4 overall last year and 5-3 in the Mountain West conference. Hello, that’s like going 6-7, 2-6 in the Big Ten! Utah is a mid major program. UNLV crushed them last season (27-0), they only beat Navy by 3 points and Louisville by 9 points, and they lost to two mediocre teams in Oregon State and Air Force. Sure they have an impressive QB (Brian Johnson) and a pretty good TB (Darrell Mack) but Michigan has a terrific defense returning to keep Johnson and Mack in check. If they have any good receivers, we both know CB’s Morgan Trent and Donovan Warren will handle them.

Utah always plays a bunch of panzies, and they are in for a rude awakening on August 30th. I say Michigan wins this won by a score of 28-10 or something

Answer 6

I have Michigan 28 Utah 17.

The first game will be somewhat sloppy, offense will make some big mistakes that could have lost the game for them, but their bread and butter this year is the defense and they hold off Utah.
