    Whoever scores the most points will win this one.

    I went over to the Hooiser game yesterday(buddy plays TE),and I can tell you Robinson will set a single game rushing record if he plays
  • Shabaka Bashaarat
    Michigan in a close one.

    Should be a good game.

    Just got my two tickets to the Iowa game. GO BLUE!!!

    Michigan will win this with ease IMO. Indiana can not win in a scoring contest with Michigan.
  • ptown_trojans_1
    Robinson, I mean Michigan, wins by 20+.
  • dlazz
    I really doubt the victor of this one will win by more than a touchdown. Whoever scores last will win, they're both high-power offense and no-defense.

    Think the Big 12 south a few years ago.

    I'll be heading to this game, anyone been there and have any advice?

    Last week should really help this team getting everyone some playing time.

    Michigan cannot be wished away anymore. This is a real Big Ten Team with a potential down the road all American running the show. I'm as big an Ohio State fan as there is, but I also see the truth when it is placed directly in front of me. Thankfully, the Bucks get Michigan at home and Ohio is extremely good this year, but the game already scares me and it's not even October yet. Go Bucks.

    Bill Lynch and IU got screwed in the Big House last year, or otherwise scUM might have went 0-8 in the Big Ten

    Lot of ifs and buts.

    This season all comes down to defense. We all know it is not very good. But if they can just play ok, they'll have a chance in every game. It'll be interesting to see how Big 10 games play out.

    Should be pretty high scoring. I hope Robinson's playing, could be pretty entertaining.

    scUM finally gets tested. IU against the run has not looked good which unfortunately means another big game for Ratard Robinson. But IU will score against scUM too, see this one being a shoot-out with scUM once again pulling it out late. 45 - 41

    any update on Robinson's condition?

    I expect michigan to get some yards on the ground, but right now IU is leading the big ten in passing yards/game and michigan is last in passing defense. michigan has played much better competition, but it could be interesting.

    A few tweets are starting to pop up that he has a bruised knee and is expected to be fine and will play Saturday.
  • FatHobbit
    Robinson is expected to practice by Tues.

    ESPN blew up the Robinson injury big time. He's fine. Could have played Saturday if they needed him. I got a big laugh when the ESPN scroller said "Robinson and Forcier injured in Michigan win." Forcier never even came out of the game.
  • Tiernan
    He will play. But like I called it two weeks ago, this little "knee ding" is indicative of the punishment that awaits him as they start the Big 10 season. I will stick by my prediction that he will not be the starting QB come Nov 27.
  • WebFire
    FYI, his little "knee ding" had nothing to do with the ability of the other team.

    If anyone needs proof that he isn't hurt, here he is celebrating in the 2nd half.

  • OneBuckeye
    I doubt there will be a punt in this one. Whoever turns it over the least wins. I got Michigan 48-35

    I think it is still early to say whether Michigan will be a threat this year or not. They started 4-0 last season and this talk came up and then they proceeded to finish 5-7. I am not writing Michigan off, but I haven't been sold on them yet either. Way too early yet, let's see how October plays out before we start worrying about November.

    His little injury had nothign to do with how hard he was hit, its fotball he bruised his knee goin down hard otu of bounds,there was no "punnishment" handed out to him. And honestly I dotn see why everyone thinks hell be so abused in big 10 play, hes as big as PLENTY of running backs that play d1 football but because hes a qb it must mean he cant take hits. That argument is old
