Michigan dominates Penn State with seven power-play goals

UTEP is Michigan’s last game before Big Ten play begins, and this should not be another afternoon where Underwood has to become the run game because nothing else works. Michigan should be able to control this matchup physically. The interesting part is whether it can use that advantage to fix the things before Iowa.

Michigan is not going to beat Oregon by suddenly becoming a 35-point offense. The more realistic path is a game where Michigan’s defense keeps Oregon below its normal production while the offense finds just enough through its best skill players to stay within striking distance.
