Trust me on this I'm a huge Michigan fan and I was surprised to see this open as a prop. I"m assuming it's because TY Issac is their leading rusher but he's been going in the wrong direction the last few weeks and his touches are decreasing. Michigan uses three running backs pretty equally in Evans, Issac, and Higdon. You will see all three play in tonight's game and Higdon is coming off a great game last week and I imagine will at the very least start with the most carries in this game.
Penn St has one of the better defenses in the country and it's going to be toughsledding for any of these running backs to get much going tonight against Penn St's Linebackers. Depending on how many touches Issac gets he might not even get passed 40 yds tonight. You can all hate me if this doesn't hit but I really like this bet. Issac is the slowest and least talented of the three backs and unless he gets gifted with a couple of nice holes he will not go over 59.5 tonight. No fckin way.
These are his stats the last three games
10 carries, 20 yds
4 carries, 9 yds
7 carries, 38 yds
Main reasons I like this bet:
1) His numbers are down less carries
2) Penn St has good rush defense
3) Michigan might surprise people and come out throwing a little
4) IF one the other 2 Mich running backs gets going he will get very limited action=no way it goes over

Finished with 6 carries for 36 yds and 10 of those yards came in garbage time.
