Sudfeld is a good QB that's gonna get drafted. 

Brandon Harris of LSU? Not great, Bob. 

We could just stack the box against the run and dare him to throw. Put Lewis on Malachi Dupre and I think we'd shut them down.

Alabama provided the blueprint for stopping them. Arkansas, the same team that allowed 46 against an abysmal Auburn offense, shut down LSU on the road.

I'd prefer a Rose Bowl, but considering where we've been the last few years, a NYD Bowl against a great opponent is not a bad consolation prize. And the ratings of a a Harbaugh-Miles matchup, two of the cookiest nut job coaches in the game, would be through the roof.

Winning a game like that would lay a great foundation for 2016.

They gave up 22 points to EMU and the least amount of pts. scored on them is the 19 that Mississippt State scored on them...and the SEC is not known for its great offenses...they give up an average of 24 pts. per game...they are 24th in total yards (good but not Alabama good..)...17th against the run and 26th against the pass...

A good defense yes but by no means an impregnable defense for Michigan.

Texas Tech and Texas A&M in a bowl together? I don't know that you even bother to bring your DC to this one as nobody will defense particularly well. If it came into being, a Louisville-Indiana matchup in the Pinstripe Bowl would probably be in a similar boat as a "last team with the ball" sort of game. Bowling Green and Willie Fritz' version of the triple option (which has spread elements, I believe) would be another defense-free game maybe.

We could beat LSU. They're so one dimensional. Arkansas and Bama both stacked the box and beat them at their own game. They can't throw very effectively so I think we could do it. Should have destroyed Indiana the same way. Stack the fucking box when you know you're D is good on the back end.

However, I am scared that Fournette would run all over this depleted defense considering how much we just gave up on the ground to IU.  Would be a very interesting game when you consider Rudock's development as a QB, increasing confidence, LSU's decreasing confidence, Miles being a former player, and all of the other numerous intangibles.

are based up on us finishing 8-4 with losses to Penn St and OSU...which after saturday seems likely..If Harbaugh can pull another rabbit out of the hat and Beat Penn St all bets are off

Because the way people are talking about that game, you would think Penn State wasn't the average team that they are. I swear some UM fans are still conditioned to expect the worst. 

I wouldn't call it pulling a rabbit out of a hat when you are favored, at least according to the line.
