 Sounds pretty impressive. The only team in the nation to allow less than 10 points per game. Truly incredible. Hat tip to TCUN. If you evaluate the offenses they've faced however it's alot less impressive.//

 

5 of their 9 opponents are in the bottom 20 for total offense.

ECU is ranked 129/131. (3 Points)

UNLV is ranked 42/131 (7 Points)

Bowling Green is ranked 113/130. (6 points)

Rutgers is ranked 104/131. (7 points)

Nebraska is ranked 114/131.(7 points)

Minnesota is ranked 119/131.(10 points)

Indiana is ranked 117/131. (7 points)

MSU is ranked 111/131.(0 points)

Purdue is ranked 99/131.(13 points)

 

Michigan has played exactly 2 teams in the top 100 for total offense. UNLV and Purdue.  How are we feeling about Ohio States ability to score on Michigan's defense and Michigan's ability to stop us from scoring? Ohio State has the 45th Ranked offense and the 5th Ranked defense. Michigan is ranked 43rd in offense and 1st in defense.

 

Thoughts?
