Michigan Football: 3 Reasons Wolverines will beat the Badgers
By Josh LaFond
1. Wolverines Won’t Beat Themselves
The Wolverines enter their battle with the Badgers with zero turnovers on offense. Sure, there’s been times that they haven’t been as explosive as fans would like. There were issues last week against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights taking shots down the field, and even be conservative at times.
That was last week.
This game against the Badgers requires them to be deliberate, efficient, and methodical on offense. Why is that? Wisconsin’s strength is their 2nd nationally ranked defense. They also have the nations best rushing defense.
But what the Badgers don’t have is an offense that can keep them off the field, allowing them to rest.
Michigan football still has a top-5 ranked rushing offense nationally. Led by the nations all-purpose yard leader Blake Corum, this offense is primed and ready to grind it out on the ground.
Not shooting themselves in the foot will be key to winning for the Wolverines, and this offense has yet to do that at all this season.
