Weather Gonna be a Factor

[MichiganHerd]

Gonna be very nasty here in Michigan later tonight, and somewhat miserable on Saturday, with rain/sleet/snow prevailing throughout the day with high winds. I'm assuming that weather will also move its way to The Hole by tomorrow evening.

Anyhow, it could be a huge factor with several games tomorrow, all of which have major impact on the CFP rankings. I'm actually a little concerned with the Indiana-Michigan game, as I think that one will be very, very close. Ohio State plays in East Lansing, and that one could be closer than expected as well. Who would bad weather favor in the OU-WVU game? Both play a similar style, right?

The Hole? Have no idea what you're talking about.

Didn't your second team (Michigan) lose their QB for the rest of the year?

 

[MichiganHerd]

My first team has an injured QB, but he will potentially be back for the OSU game next week. Additionally, UM has more than one QB on the team that's serviceable.

Do you still turn your back on your alma mater, Marshall?

Harbaugh is lying about your starting QB. Ask Tony Romo if a broken collarbone is a two-week injury. No way in hell that your starting QB will play in "The Game." I expect the Ohio State/Michigan State to be close, and both teams to run the ball into the ground, if the weather is bad. Ohio State's coaching staff called too many passes in the driving rain v. Sparty last season, and it ruined an otherwise perfect season.

My alma mater is WVU. Thanks for asking.

 

[tOSUGrad90]

You have admitted to having attended Marshall, too, CuntryTard, but thanks for posting another lie.

I did attend Marshall...and I attended WVU. I obviously like WVU a hell of a lot better. I know it stings.

 

[tOSUGrad90]

Then, Marshall is your alma mater, too, CuntryTard. Why are you so stupid?

Reports are that he doesn't have a broken collarbone. Combine that with it being on his non-throwing shoulder, and there's a possibility he could be back. I believe O'Korn is pretty good, so I don't see much of a drop off, other than the experience of playing all year. Hell, it worked out well for OSU a couple years back.

Oklahoma 35
WVU 24

Special teams = good field position.
Two great running backs vs one freshman and 2 injuried
Solid QB run & pass vs QB who needs only 1 hit to ruin his game (check Howard last year vs Oklahoma)

WVU defensive strength is in pass coverage and pressure. OU has two really good running backs while we have played the last two games with only a true freshman. They do have a better passing QB while Howard is a better runner. I think it may give OU a slight edge but playing in Morgantown is going to be tuff for them to overcome.

That's a smokescreen floated by Harbaugh. He won't play, but you may be right about O'Korn.
