Best plan today is no plan. Nobody knows including JOK and he plays street ball. Don't see how he is going to pull off unless he is free to improvise every play.

Imagine the moment if John were to have the game of his life and lead us to victory. Carried off the field on shoulders after a Michigan legend blasted him the week before.

Like really imagine it, super vividly, because it won’t happen.

JOK starting takes all the pressure off the team and Harbaugh. Now if/when we lose the media is gonna be quiet, the fans mostly quiet, and Harbaugh rolls into bowl season with Peters as the #1 and hopefully gets a good bowl win. It’s like forced rebuilding. However I hope Drevno is done. I had a dream last night actually that he moved on.

Just arm punt on every 3rd and long and hope for PI, or a miracle one-handed bobble catch that only ever happens . . . oh, 3 or 4 times a game to us.

What do you mean?!? That one game is worth more that the other 11 combined!! This is Michigan football fact. To have to state this is a problem! If I were McCaffrey I would be doing EVERYTHING I could to burn that shirt and play in the game. Plus, it's the best time to attack the depth chart. you a Michigan man or not?

Peters was unconscious on the field 7 days ago.  He was in concussion protocol, and (according to rumors) just cleared it on Thursday. 

Clearing the protocol does not mean that one should play a game. 

It would be a disaster for Peters, and also for Harbaugh and the future of Michigan football, if Peters were to play and then again take a serious blow to the head. 

It would be as bad as Hoke and staff's failure to take Shane Morris out in the Minnesota game in 2014.  Harbaugh was hired to win.  But he was also hired to do things the right way and to not make the mistake Hoke and staff made with Morris.

It would have been very surprising to see him start today. 

My guess: Peters and Speight will dress, but neither will really be available to play.

O'Korn will have to play the best game of his life.  He has it in him. 

Hopefully Peters and Speight will be 100% healthy for bowl practices and game.

I now have the same feeling i had when RR and Hoke were the coaches. I just hope they can keep it close. I never expected this in year 3 in the Harbaugh era.
