Number five, Michigan against number 10.

Penn State, I mean, this is kind of what things have been building towards for

Penn State and Michigan on both sides over the last few weeks.

Penn State talking to some guys on our Penn State on three site, their staff.

They said as soon as that Auburn game was done a few weeks ago, all the focus shifted

towards Michigan from the fan base.

And Michigan, you know, a little tougher having to go to Iowa over the last couple of weeks, but the focus

is now here in this game.

And it's going to be a tough challenge.

Michigan's toughest test yet, of course.

And we can start there with the offense against what is a very good Penn State defense.

Part of this, we're, you know, past the halfway point of the season, but you still look at the stats, and well, Penn State hasn't played a tough schedule.

McCarthy's hands even more. Michigan gets off schedule. I think it could be tough. But what do you guys see from, you know, this matchup of the Michigan offense going up against Penn State's defense? Yeah, I want to see if, first of all, if Michigan can stop the run. And I think they, you know what, Nick Singleton's been good against a couple of bad teams. I was looking at the rushing ranks of some of the teams that he put up big numbers on and they're terrible. I think Auburn's, what, 92nd in the country against the run. And I think Ohio is 99th. So, but you don't know. Auburn, going down to Auburn
