It’s business as usual.Despite the turmoil surrounding Jim Harbaugh, Michigan, and the absurdly over-dramatized scandal, the team kept running, dominating, and producing like everything was on its way to the College Football Playoff.It is still the most underappreciated component of this whole operation – take all the signs you want, it has absolutely nothing to do with the offensive line. Line up, blast away, and do it again, like the Wolverines did against Penn State, gaining 227 yards against one of the nation’s finest defenses.Michigan failed to complete a pass in the second half. It didn’t have to be that way.Maryland’s defensive front is in good shape. It’s strong enough to withstand a power strike, but it hasn’t had to cope with one yet.
Do you think this Michigan team is a little fried?From the t-shirts to the passion, to coach Sherrone Moore crying and putting money in the swear jar, to the hyperbole – come on, guys, it’s not like somebody died or anything – to the increasing pressure ahead of the Ohio State game, it’s truly Michigan vs. Everyone.

Maryland’s passing offense has the potential to change that.It’s still true this late in the season, even with a win against Penn State, Michigan hasn’t faced anyone who can throw.Taulia Tagovailoa and the Maryland passing game must strike quickly. They only managed 86 passing yards against Nebraska last week, but they’ll need that on the opening two drives this Sunday. Quick-hitting tosses, get into a rhythm, and don’t be hesitant to continue putting yourself in manageable situations.There’s no need to make a point by bombing down the bridge.
Michigan has been as consistent as a squad can be over ten games. Purdue did score 13 points, with a touchdown throw in the last minute. Yes, Penn State scored 15 points, but it did so late in the game.Maryland, too, has a defense. It has the ability to hold up and keep this tight, but the dam will break, as it did in the Ohio State game. It’ll be a fight, Maryland will have chances, and Michigan will own third down after third down as it finishes the job in its workmanlike manner.Then it’s game time.- Week 12 Schedule, Predictions, and Previews
