Week 8 College Football Preview Michigan at Penn State

Considering how bad Michigan is this year and how dominant Penn State's offense has been, it's not hard to imagine why there would be a 24 point spread. Last week Penn State demoralized and embarrassed Wisconsin, while Michigan was busy losing to Toledo. Overall Wisconsin ranks ahead of Michigan in Total defense, Scoring defense, Passing defense and Passing Efficiency and they lost by 41 points last week to the Nittany Lions, so what chance do the Wolverines have? By the way, Michigan is also one of the worst teams in turnover margin in the nation. But, they came into the year with 7 starters on defense who faced a prolific offense in Florida last year in the Capital One Bowl. Plus Rich Rodriguez may have a more qualified response to Penn State's creative offense than Wisconsin did. The fact is that Wisconsin allowed turnovers and special teams to kill their chances of even being in the game and I think Michigan will at the very least lose by less than four scores to Penn State.
