This is an interesting contest between a couple of teams trying to figure out where they belong the in the Big Ten pecking order. Big Blue has the luxury of coming off an open week which enabled them to better prepare and heal up star QB Denard Robinson while Penn State was unimpressive beating Minnesota last weekend. The Wolverines had dominated the Nittany Lions until RichRod’s arrival. They have lost the last two but I think are a good bet to break that streak on the road in a national spotlight night game. Robinson gives Michigan the clear edge at QB and has been almost unstoppable this season – even against Iowa until he got hurt.
