This one is tough. The final four teams were so evenly matched, any championship matchup was gonna be a coin flip. Penix is so talented, you’ve got to believe he’s going to hit a few explosives during the course of the game. But can the Huskies get enough from their banged up run game to keep Michigan honest? On the flip side can Michigan with a good, but certainly not elite, offense put up enough points to win? Don’t think they can hang if it turns into a shootout. But don’t think their stout defense will allow that. Like you, I’m pulling against the so smug and SO overrated Big Ten. But my head says this time great defense prevails, Corum puts up big numbers, and Michigan wins 24-21. Blah.
