Top 3 toughest Big Ten road games from a Michigan perspective

1. Iowa

2. Ohio St

3. Penn St

I will say Penn State at night is pretty tough. Although a day game at Penn State is nothing special. If I remember correctly, Michigan beat Penn State on the road last year.

they did 21-17 snooze fest. Penn State went downhill with motivation as soon as they lost to Illinois. I would read about as much in to that loss as I would the PSU win in AA during Covid.

That sounds like a coaching issue if we’re being honest

easy blame is the coaches.....you ever work directly with 18-22 year olds, especially in term of what motivates them on a day to day basis?

PSU was winning late and Michigan got a lucky/fluky big play when two PSU defenders collided.

PSU outplayed Michigan last year.

Michigan also nearly lost to Rutgers and Nebraska. They were overrated last year too.

Disagree. Our threat to win with an unhealthy Clifford was considerably lower. An unmotivated team doesn't play OSU within 9 pts. An unmotivated team doesn't lead Michigan late after giving up 7 sacks.

Last years team had flaws. Motivation wasn't one of them. Being without Clifford and Mustipher meant a lot.
