my top play research

[fightingwarrior]

as most of you know im looking at the uconn game here are interesting things i feel every one should know.


michigan is 4-0 in non coference play

beating western michigan which is a horrible team 31-7

notre dame 38-34 in a close game

easturn michigan 45-17

delaware state 63-6

now comparing this to uconn

i would say uconn is the 2nd toughest out of these 4 next to notre dame first.

michigan at home last season

5-3

there 3 losses are ohio state ,purdue and penn state

all 3 are better than uconn imo.

so michigan is very strong at home.

other key notes

michigan scores min 21 points every game.

they average 29.5 points per game

there main goal this season is conference play they went 1-7 last year.
4-0 in non conference play.

i think there is big hopes for michigan.honestly big hopes

they open at home vs uconn and play notre dame the following week on nbc 2 t.v games right off the bat.also michgans head coach 2nd year and a lot of pressure on him and why not they expect better results in conference plays.

they started the year 4-0 and this tells you 1 thing.it tells you there head coach can prepare them for there opening game.he knows what to say.

now for uconn

uconn is returning 17 players

they get 31.2 points per game vs michigans 29.5 has a slight edge here

look more into it.uconn is inconsitant with scoring

they focus more on running the ball there 39th last year getting 170 yards per game.



lets break it down HEAD TO HEAD.

passing uconn 1460 yards by frazier forier 2050 almost 500 yards better the main reason is becuase uconn has a 2nd quarterback who got 1300+yards

so its really 2800 vs 2000 in passing

michigans qb has 13 td and 10 int uconn 10 td 9 int

thats if forcier starts alot of rumors about the qb for michigan.


RUSHING

michigan doesnt have big rushing people they have minor 502 last year 8 touch downs brown 470 yards 4 touchdowns

uconn has 2 running backs coming back todman 1100+yards 14 touchdownss

dixon 10+yards 14 touchdowns

expect both running backs to get atleast 20 carries each in this away game.

SPEICAL TEAMS

uconn gets about 25 yards per carry which is better than michigans 23

but its fairly even

FIELD GOALS

MICHGIAN KICKER IS BETTER THAN UCONN BY A LOT I WOULD SAY

MICHIGANS KICKER 50+IS 1-1 40-49 IS 4-5 39 YARDS TO 49 YARDS IS 4-4

SO THIS TELLS YOU ANYTHING FROM THE 30 YARD LINE TO ABOUT THE 55 YARD LINE MICHIGAN WILL GO FOR IT.

UCONN LONGEST IS 47 YARDS AMD HE IS ABOUT 50 PERCENT FROM 40 YARDS PLUS SO LIKE A COIN FLIP

UCONN WILL KICK FIELD GOALS 30 YARDS TO 43 I WOULD SAY AND ANYTHING AFTER THAT DEPENDS HONESTLY ON COACH.

THERE IS ABOUT 8 YARDS HERE DIFFERENCE IN FIELD GOALS

RUSHING

I WOULD SAY RUSHING IS UCONN

THEY HAVE 2 BACKS WHO WILL GET ATLEAST 20 CARRIES.CAN 1 OF THEM BREAK FREE WHO KNOWS.

MICHIGAN HAS 2 BACKS BUT I DONT FEEL CAN HAVE A BREAK OUT GAME.


THIS IS A BIG THING TO NOTE

UCONN IS BALANCED OFFENSIVELY

THEY THROW AND RUN ABOUT THE SAME

U CONN GOT 6 PENALITES ON FIRST DOWN COMPARED TO MICHIGANS 15 THIS IS ALMOST DOUBLE

UCONN IS 38 PERCENT ON 3RD DOWNS SO EXPECT THEM TO GET 1 IN 3 EASY VS MICHIGAN

MICHIGAN IS 38 PERCENT SO SAME EXPECT THEM TO GET 1 IN 3 EASILY


I EXPECT MICHIGAN TO HAVE SLIGHTLY MORE PENALITES THAN UCONN OR ABOUT EVEN.

UCONN GETS ABOUT 387 YARDS PER GAME
MICHIGAN 384

THIS GAME IS ALMOST EVEN IN ALMOST EVERY CATEGORY

THE BIG ADVANTAGE I SEE IF THE RUNNING GAME.

IF THERE IS ANY ONE WHO THINKS MICHIGAN CAN STOP UCONN RUNNING GAME PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

I THINK THIS IS A EDGE.IT COULD BE THE FACTOR OF THE GAME.

MICHIGAN HAS HOME FIELD AND A BETTER KICKER

AS FAR AS TURNOVERS I FEEL THIS IS EVEN.

TIME OF POSSESION

YOU HAVE TO GIVE TO UCONN THEY WILL RUN THE BALL AND RUN A LOT OF CLOCK OUT.

I WOULD SAY 60 PERCENT OR MORE THEY WILL HAVE THE BALL.

60 MINUTES IN A GAME

I WOULD SUGGEST 40 MINUTES UCONN 20 MINUTES MICHIGAN

MAYBE THIS IS A LITTLE OFF BUT I FEEL THIS IS ACCURATE.

U CONN DEFENSE IS ALSO BETTERIN GETTING SACKS THAN MICHIGAN AND I FEEL OPENNG DAY UCONN WILL GET 3-5 SACKS EASILY.

THIS COULD BE A VERY VERY BIG KEY FACT ALSO BECUASE IT WILL EFFECT EVERYTHING.



IMHO I THINK UCONN IS THE BETTER PLAY +3

I WOULD SUGGEST TAKING IT MONEY LINE BECUASE HOME FIELD FOR MICHIGAN BUT 3 POINTS IS MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR ME TO PICK UCONN.


1 KEY THING I SHOULD NOTE IS THIS.


UCONN IS RETURNING 17 PLAYERS THEY KNOW HOW TO PLAY

THERE RUSHING IS GOING TO BE A LOT STRONGER IMHO

THERE DLINE IS SOLID AS HELL.

MICHIGAN CAN GET THOSE LONG PASSES I THINK EVERY NOW AND THAN BUT I THINK UCONN WILL GET 1 OR 2 INT AS WELL


MY PICK IS UCONN AND I PLAN TO HAMMER IT FOR 3,300.00 OPENING WEEK.

HOPE THIS HELPS EVERY ONE.

A bunch of copy pasted stats. Good Luck with that.

[fightingwarrior]

So ace uconn wont win.

[fightingwarrior]

Its just stats people should know.why go into a game not knowing a little stats from the season before.esp when your bringing back 17 of your starters.

Imho i think uconn will win this game.what scares me the most is there playing on te road.

My biggest question and i hope i can get a solid answer is does any one think michigans run defense is good.

[fightingwarrior]

Do you think michigan will win or lose if not why are you talking trash about my copy and paste stats.do you got nothing good to say.

[fightingwarrior]

Hopefully i win it.

[Ace_of_Spades]

To be perfectly honest, i have not looked at this match or any other matches for that matter. But, at first blush, Pittsburgh +3 seems a decent bet at the moment.

[ngates815]

All of your stats look good. But thats just copied and pasted.




Now your personal opinions are all terrible. And you must of just copied all that Info above from some dumbass site.

You said Uconn is the 2nd best team of the Non Conf games of Michigan last year. You said ND was #1 out of the group. U conn beat ND last year. Proving that You're good at copying and pasting, but not good at actually remembering anything.

Then you said Michigan was 5-3 at home last year with all 3 loses coming to better teams than Uconn (OSU, PSU, Purdue). Now Uconn and Purdue didn't play, but they played a common opponent, ND, which Uconn beat, and Purdue lost to.


SO since you're doing alot of research on your "TOP PLAY". Can you inform me as to why you think ND was better than Uconn last year? and Why Purdue was better than Uconn?

[sharpcat]

You have a very bad habit of betting against the line movement.
