2019 Michigan Gameday #2: vs. Army

Image
After last week's somewhat uneven but otherwise convincing win, the Wolverines are back for a noon kickoff (the best!) with the visiting Army Black Knights.

Michigan showed some flashes last week while dealing with a few injuries, and today should be another chance for the offense to show its progress in learning a new system against an overmatched Army defense (about the only time you can say that!).  The real gotcha for today's game is Army's triple option offense, which is designed to attack the knees of the opposition's DL and grind out three yards per play, not to mention the clock.

With a bye week coming up to get healthy I'm looking for Michigan to try to get out of this game unscathed in another victory where they don't cover a pretty large spread.  This is the only time you'll see me rooting against our country's army, but today I respectfully root for them to go home defeated.
LET'S GO BLUE!

    1. Call me unpatriotic, but go blue! Their offense is an affront to the game but they played hard and easily could have come out on top. I loved the energy of all the Army folks on the sidelines, and the parachutists were awesome!
