Michigan football gets at least one 100-yard rusher 

Every Ohio State fan was talking about how their rushing defense was so good (#11 at the time) but then got shredded for 297 yards against Michigan.

While I, unfortunately, don’t expect a performance like this from Michigan football, I do expect Hassan Haskins or Blake Corum to generate enough yardage over the course of the game to break the century mark.

This will take probably 25-30 carries but one or both of them will do it eventually. That will be enough for Michigan’s offense to keep Georgia honest and off-balance.

I don’t think Georgia truly knows how physical, Big Ten teams play. Yes, they’ve played other rugged SEC teams or other physical teams, but every conference is different, has a different style of play, and it will be great to see Michigan wear down Georgia as the game goes on.
