Michigan will outrush Oregon

Last week, Michigan football didn't have more rushing yards than Michigan State but still found a way to win, which is unusual for that game.

This week, the roles could be reversed. Oregon throws for close to 300 yards per game and it feels like the Ducks have more weapons than Michigan can cover.

The running game is solid too. Oregon averages 4.7 rushing yards per attempt. But I just don't see Oregon rushing for a ton of yards on Saturday. Dillon Gabriel might wind up running more than he has in some other games this season.

Still, Michigan, which will be focused more on the running game and should be focused on getting Orji involved early, will finish the game with more rushing yards than Oregon.
