History most certainly has a way of repeating itself. Last year after a rocky 0-2 start, Michigan bounce back to win eight straight. Now, while they only have a one-game win streak going, with a win over ninth ranked Wisconisin things are looking up. Can they carry the momentum that propeled them from a 15-0 half time deficit? It is a bit hasty to say they will cruise over the Big East, but being home home against Illinois, a team they have a good track record definitely helps.
So far, Michigan's Achilles ' heal has been switching over to Rodriguez spread offense. Last week, Threet threw for negative yards in the first half. That is unacceptable, especially since Threet earned the starting spot after handling the spread better than fellow QB Nick Sheridan did.
Currently, Illinois is the slight favorite but I do not see Michigan's defense being unable to contain Juice Williams and the rest of the Illini. I would say there is a lot of pressure on Michigan's defense if the team wants to hang in there until bowl season.
