The opening odds start here
While there's little doubt this may feel like just another one of those out of conference Big Ten matchups to open the season, the occasion does seem a bit fairly reminiscing at Huntington Bank Stadium. If the name sounds familiar, and believe me there are no puns intended, former head coach Jerry Kill returns to the scene on the other side of the sideline for the Aggies since he left the program in 2015. Kill was not happy when the Gophers fired his assistant and successor Tracey Claeys because of turmoil with the program. Kill grew even more upset when current coach PJ Fleck said he had to rebuild the university of Minnesota from the bottom up when he took over the reigns in 2017. The last time the 61 year old rook the helm to any capacity was as an interim last season with TCU. Not exactly the dirt of homecoming one would like to be a part of, but hoping lack of pleasantries could be put aside Thursday night
NMSU (0-1) had already begun it's season Saturday in week 0with a 23-12 loss to the Nevada Wolfpack. The Aggies gained a total of 303 yards but turned the ball over 6 times and were charged with 9 penalties. The duo QB system failed miserably as the Aggies completed just 18/33 for 218 yards and 4 picks against just one TD. Diego Pavia completed just 45% of his passes and was responsible for 3 of the 4 picks. NMSU managed just 85 yards rushing and despite the defense forcing a safety, Kordell Davis provided the only offensive TD catching 7 passes for 56 yards. Pavia also lost 2 fumbles and could not help his team spark a rally despite Nevada not being able to at times move the ball. The Wolfpack also used two QBs under center but managed only 79 yards through the air. Devonte Lee was the majority of the offense rushing for 61 yards on 13 carries (4.7) with TD runs of 32 and 4 yards respectfully in the first half as part of a 17 point second quarter. Brandon Tallon was solid on all 3 of his field goal attempts.
Tge Golden Gophers rely heavily on the run, and Mohamed Ibrahim, who played only one game last season due to a lower leg injury, will look to return with avengeance. Ibrahim , who enters his junior year, has rushed for 3,000 yards and 33 TD over his first 2 seasons. Senior Tanner Morgan also returns under center, and has passed for nearly 8,100 yards, 56 TD and 27 INT over his first 3 seasons of his collegiate career. Minnesota out of the Big 10 is hoping they can continue the dominating ground game that brought the. A successful 9-4 campaign last season.
Gavin Frankes will try to undo his misfortune from last week hoping to lead a more balanced offense against the Gophers, but it won't be easy. Minnesota likes to grind it out on the ground and on defense bringing 7 starters back only allowing 23 ppg last season. NMSU was just 104th in the country in total offense while the pass and overall defense landed them near the bottom of Div 1 okay ranking just 128th overall. Morgan remains the starter after passing for 2,044 yards and Chris Autumn Bell, their top receiver catching 38 passes for 506 yards. Minnesota's pass and rush defense landed both calibers in the top 10 plus they also have Darnell Jeffries on a transfer from Clemson. Minnesota averaged about 26 ppg last season, although their offense is nowhere up tempo and methodical to the degree of wearing out opposing defenses.
There are just too many discrepancies here on both sides of the ball. Despite the difference on class, Minnesota should cruise to a comfortable victory pulling away in the second half with the outcome well decided.

Earlier today at s&o, since gone back up.
S&O isn't a book.

(8) Michigan -30.5 over Colorado St.
Could it be that the Wolverines are in the midst of a QB controversy but yet Michigan still has yet to play a game though ranked in the top 10 anyway? Michigan opens the season against Colorado St Saturday at 12 noon in Ann Arbor. It was quite a campaign for Michigan last season as head coach Jim Harbaugh led the Wolverines to a 12-2 record but ultimately resulted in a 34-11 to eventually National champion Georgia in the Orange Bowl semifinal.Cade McNamara (210/327 2576 15 TD 6 INT) did start every game last season and took the majority of the snaps. However, JJ McCarthy as the backup did have his share of opportunities to run his own plays which left him a highly touted recruited target. So while this may seem like a good problem, McNamara seems to be poised to shine at the helm once again as a junior. While Harbaugh is starting McCarthy in game 2 vs. Hawaii as it was announced earlier in the week.
The maize and blue fans really couldn't complain on whichever is under center, considering that the core of their offensive weapons are once again returning. The backfield is unchanged as Blake Corum and Donovan Edwards are one of the most feared duos in the country as far as the ground game is concerned. Add TE Erick All and wide out Ronnie Bell and you have another dynamic duo downfield, coupled with 4 OL starters. Michigan's defense allowed just 17 ppg last season, however things are itching to be one suspect in '22 because the Wolverines are replacing 2 graduated in Adam Hutchinson and Daxton Hill that have since moved on to the NFL, along with a second round pick in David Olabo. The Buffaloes, who went 3-9 last season shouldn't be much of a test though. Jay Norvell, who came from Nevada has since replaced Steve Adazzio in the head coaching spot, creating more of a nothing to lose environment and mentality.
To help boost the offense and the passing game, Norvell also added Clay Milken who will likely get ample playing time under center, as well as a couple of key targets in Tory Horton and Melquan Stovall. Todd Centeio last season completed 61% of his attempts last season for 2,950 yards, 15 TD and 10 INT. David Bailey led the Rams in 2021vwuth 782 yards, but he averaged under 4 ypc with 9 TD. Defensively CSU allowed better than 29 ppg, but most of that resulted after the team ended the season losing 6 straight to close out the season after splitting their first 6.
The Rams led the country in TFL last season, but enjoying that success in the MWC could turn problematic against the upstart class coming from the Big 10. Michigan will ground and pound their way into just as much if a necessary hurry up trying to catch CSU off guard. Make no mistake, especially looking downfield, McNanara will look to state his case as the everyday starter from game 3 on. Losing Hassan Haskins will be one a glaring factor, as the senior accounted for 20 TD last season. Taylor Upshaw has extensive experience as DE, while Maxi Smith and Kris Jenkins make up a formidable duo on the inside for the Michigan d line. DJ Turner, who made all Big Ten first defensive team last season as well as safety RJ Moten are also back, wearing down a formidable offense if the game gets out of hand. If there's any glaring difference on paper, UM has more depth on defense and in the running game. The Rams will be likely to lie on their pass happiness, and if you're Harbaugh, opponents can only rely on being one dimensional for so long.
Best of luck to all for a profitable week 1 and upcoming season!

A squeaker to open the season but a win nonetheless. Either you really turn on the jets or call off the dogs in a blowout.

Good to see a sweep in week 1 with Michigan winning a lot more aggressively today.
