Week 8: Michigan vs. Penn State

Like we saw in Week 1, this is a no-brainer.

Jim Harbaugh, who has recently been heavily criticized by a former player and always finds a way to keep himself fired up, must be raring to dish out some punishment to James Franklin’s gang. Remember, Michigan throttled its rival 49-10 last year. But it was the Nittany Lions who emerged as the Big Ten East champs and eventually the champions of the conference.

Michigan’s defense is incredibly stout, though it is missing some key pieces from last year. One player that must step up to fill the void is five-star sophomore Rashan Gary — potentially one of the most disruptive players in the nation.

Trace McSorley had a frustrating game last year against the Wolverines. He and running back Saquon Barkley better have their track shoes on to avoid the relentless bodies flying their way this time around as well. One player that could be the difference for Penn State is speedster Saeed Blacknail.
