2006 Big Ten Preview

[Wolverine]

BIG TEN PREVIEW BY WOLVERINE A indepth look at this year's race in the Big Ten College Football Conference. Wolverine gives his All-Big Ten team, Schedule Predicitions, and much much more!

I completely disagree with OSU losing to Texas. That's just not happening this year without Raiden Back Breaker Extrordinaire Vince Young under center for the Longhorns. Just not happening.

Well like I mentioned.. I am hesitant about that. I think they will slip up. They have a part in the schedule that could trip them up and they could lose a road game. I just don't have the heart to give them a Big Ten Loss, because well if its not the Wolverines.. I dont think they could lose. And let's face it, for the purposes of me being un-biased on this, the wolverines chances of winning at the shoe are less than they are at the big house.

I just wanted to get the records really close.

[Chris Raiden]

I think the Wolverines chances of winning at The Shoe this year are almost zero honestly. OSU (not a we any more since I'm officially a Zip now) has a great defensive coaching staff and a ton of talent to work with, and by that point they'll have enough game experience under their belts to really start to "get" that defensive scheme, which is very bad news for the Wolverines coming into Columbus that late in the year.

I agree with you that if anyone trips the Bucks up this year, it's Texas, but I just don't see it happening two years in a row.

Secondary- Penn State has guys like Justin King to play defense, but they landed big time cornerback prospect AJ Wallace who could see the field just like King did last year after being a big time CB recruit like Wallace.

this was the one guy that i was REALLY upset about losing in recruiting last year, PSU and FSU were battling for Wallace for months(including the Bowl game)...it still hurts :(... but your right, that kid can flat out play

They dont have much of a chance. Which is depressing. I know when the game roles around, I will be cheering, but Lloyd Carr's inability to win games like this just makes me shake my head.

I think things are gonna be different for them this year. But they get ND and OSU on the road, and that just doesnt feel right.

[Chris Raiden]

Not to mention, it's in a year where both should be contending for a national title and will be attempting to use their respective games with Michigan to lock up spots in the national title game.
