Our Michigan vs. Illinois predictions anticipate Jack Tuttle to hand the ball off more than he passes it on Saturday.
The bread-and-butter of the Michigan offense has been the run game, and the Wolverines will go back to what works again — hurting Jack Tuttle's passing yards.The Illinois Fighting Illini look for their first ranked-vs-ranked win in 33 years when they host the Michigan Wolverines on Saturday.
In order to reach his total in this game of 175.5 yards, Tuttle would likely need to complete between 17 and 20 passes. And if he needs to complete that many throws in this game, it likely means Michigan is in serious trouble.allows 4.9 yards per run, 105th nationally, and Big 10 opponents average 4.83 yards per tote. Since conference play began, Michigan has led all Big 10 teams with 42 rushing attempts per game.
Every P4 school Illinois has faced has seen its starting back top 70 yards, with three of them clearing the century mark. Purdue even had two players go for 100+ last week, with quarterback Ryan Browne gaining 118 yards. Michigan’s secondary has been suspect, and I don’t see the low-scoring affair many are anticipating. The Wolverines have allowed opposing quarterbacks to top the 250 passing yard mark in three of its four games vs. P4 opponents, and Quinn Ewers threw for 246. Altmyer will clear that mark as well in an exciting game and an electric atmosphere. Michigan is favored by 3.5 points, with the public moving the line quickly after it sat at -1.5 on Monday.
