Michigan Kryptonite = Coming Out for the Second Half

Michigan's second half possessions went something like this: Safety. Shanked Punt. Blocked Punt. Fumble. Three and Out. Three and Out. Token meaningless last drive of game, three first downs. Final score, 46-17. Penn State scored 39 unanswered points. Michigan had 185 yards of total offense in the first quarter...and finished with 291 for the game...and in the last drive they had 40ish. That about sums it up. 

Two Side Notes:
-So everyone who was sweating the PSU 23.5 spread in the first half, or even at halftime, is now cackling with glee. This is why gambling is an emotional roller coaster.
-Looks like the Michigan bowl streak is most likely going to end at 34 straight years, heck of a run though. Still proud to be a Michigan fan. 

Go BLUE anyone?

Michigan beating #3 Penn State 17-14 at the half. Brandon Minor has two touchdowns and according to Rich Rod, "Brandon has really practiced well the last couple weeks" and, "we needed his physical presence." Michigan has ZERO turnovers, and has looked like a totally different team today so far in the first half. I don't think that Michigan is going to all the sudden be the team to beat in the Big Ten, but on any given saturday anyone in the Big Ten can beat anyone else in the Big Ten. Second half should be exciting, if for no other reason than we will see which Michigan team shows up...
