Michigan picks off Katin Houser twice

The Michigan football defense has been cranking up its turnover production in recent weeks. Michigan intercepted two passes against Minnesota and ran them both back for touchdowns.

Last week, the Wolveriners intercepted Indiana twice too. Katin Houser, the Michigan State starting quarterback is talented. He’s also one of the youngest starters in the history of the series.

Houser is bound to make some mistakes, especially if Michigan can force the Spartans offense to be one-dimensional.

I think Houser will create some explosive plays in the passing game, but there will be mistakes too — maybe a couple of interceptions since the pass rush will be bearing down on him.

Michigan football vs. Michigan State prediction

There hasn’t been much talk about the game in the past couple of days. But Jim Harbaugh and his team will be focused. J.J. McCarthy is going to have a great game and there is too wide of a talent gap right now between Michigan and Michigan State.

The Spartans will keep it competitive during the first half, but the Wolverines pull away in the second half and they will win 38-10.
