Michigan Monday: Too Early Look at Maryland

Michigan hits the road again this week for a match-up against Maryland and the Jim Harbaugh coaching tree.   DJ Durkin is building a solid team but still has some work to do and will need some luck in keeping their QB healthy.


Record 4-5
Last week: Lost to Rutgers 31-24
Best Win: Texas


Pass: 164 yards per (115th)
Run: 156 yards per (56th)
Points scored: 29 (60th)
Point against: 36 (115th)


Kickoff: 3:30 BTN
Line:  (My service didn't have a line)


ESPN Big Ten Rank: #13


Maryland is struggling at the moment and can't keep their QB healthy.  They will need an unbelievable performance to upset the Wolverines next Saturday.  Not sure why there isn't a line on the game, it might be due to the health of the Terrapins skill players.   On a side note, MSU is a -16 dog at OSU next weekend.  That seems like a very strange line. 


  • Taco got his first NFL sack against KC last night.


  • Jehu Chesson got his first NFL catch in the same game!


  • Looks like Josh Metellus will be out for the first half of the Maryland game due to being thrown out of Saturday's game.  I bet Michigan tries to overturn that suspension as he didn't throw a punch but did get in the Minnesota players face.

Great game, but you can compare are efforts to the tale of the 3 "piggy's
Okay you proved you could run the ball (against Minnesota, not Ohio state or Wisconsin)...

Once you had them beat > practice the passing game... pass protection is non-existent, why not too much "piggy having fun doing the man-ball thing.
I feel like that Raccoon that star in the Guardians of the universe", he got frustrated and started kicking grass...
In other words I blame the coaches for allowin the dumb-butt penalties to pile up still. almost all of them are far away from the play! Stop this madness in it's tracks. From the greatest coach in a recliner.

Somebody explain "Jehu Chesson got his first NFL catch in the same GAME"? Maybe I am going bonkers! or is this written to make me go koo-koo?

Scotty..two bullet points but sort of one sentence.
Taco got his first NFL sack AND (next bullet point) Jehu got his first NFL catch. Same game, Cowboys vs Chiefs.
