Michigan has a very tough November (and they shouldn't look past Minny either) at MSU, at Wisconsin and home vs. Ohio State, who Lloyd can't seem to beat.
They've won six in a row and I'm not really all that surprised. What surprises me is how poorly they began the season -- how unprepared they were. If I were the coach, I'd be kicking myself for not being 8-0 or at least 7-1.
They have four games left and I think they lose two of 'em. They finish 8-4 and Lloyd exits stage right.
If they finish 10-2, Lloyd can say he turned the team around after the App. State fiasco, and he might possibly stay. Frankly, I don't think Lloyd can ever live down that App. State losss. But I respect Lloyd for not caring what others think. However, his days should be numbered IMO. Team needs a modern-day offense and more mobility at the QB position.
I did like the Arrington to Manningham TD play in yesterday's game and wonder why the offense doesn't do more misdirection like that. UM's offense is normally as predictable as a 10-piece jigsaw puzzle.
