Will Michigan keep rolling? Who has the edge in the huge Pac-12 battle? Our college football experts break down the big Week 7 games.
It's the 103rd meeting between the bitter rivals, but it's remarkably the first in which both are ranked in the top 10. It’s easily the Pac-12’s game of the year so far., in which the No. 2 Wolverines will try to make another statement that they were the best team in the country.One of the biggest reasons why this year's Michigan squad is a cut above the program's back-to-back College Football Playoff qualifiers in 2021 and 2022 is depth.
I’m also interested in seeing some more out of Jaylin Lucas and Christian Turner. Both tailbacks have shown the capability of getting to the end zone, and it will be notable if they can have any sort of impact on the game considering they’ll be up against a Wolverines defense that makes everything difficult on the ground.Let Indiana's coach give this game preview. Earlier in the week, Allen told reporters that Michigan, ranked No.
The Wolverines are the only team that has a playmaker at quarterback in the passing game , in the run game , a championship-caliber offensive line and a championship-caliber defense. Penix is a Heisman Trophy favorite and currently averaging 400 passing yards per game. That tops the country and it's not close. He's completing nearly 75% of his throws through five games for 1,999 yards, with 16 touchdowns to just two interceptions. Nix, meanwhile, is a top-15 quarterback in the country. He's averaging 291.8 passing YPG, has completed a nation's-best 80.4% of his passes for 1,459 yards with 15 touchdowns and only one interception.
Iowa’s woes under Brian Ferentz have been well-established, and it doesn’t help that new QB Hill just doesn’t seem up for the task. Every pass appears like a wounded duck and, of all the unimaginable stats being put up by this team, completing just 35.4% of your passes and none of them going to a receiver last week against Purdue might be the most damning.
It's also notable how USC has really leaned into the criticism of their defense the past few weeks, with many around the program taking it quite personally and responding in kind to the growing narrative.
