Donaven McCulley makes a big play

Oklahoma should have to devote more resources to stopping the run, at least based on what happened last week against Illinois State.

if they can keep the running game in check without having to stack the box, that could make for a long night for Michigan. It would put more pressure on Underwood.

The offensive line looked a lot better last week, at least in terms of run blocking. If that translates, Michigan should be able to run the ball, which will open up the play-action pass.

Michigan didn't take many shots last week. Maybe only one I can remember. This week, Donaven McCulley, who also considered Oklahoma in the portal, will come through with a big play, one that covers 40 yards, something Michigan didn't achieve all last season.

The Wolverines did have a 39-yard completion last week.
