Penn State are a strong team, but they have several flaws on both sides of the ball, giving Michigan a serious chance to win this one at home.
Firstly Penn State's O-line is pretty inexperienced, as are their wide receivers. On defense, the weakpoint (like Michigan's) is the secondary, which lost all starters from last year.
Michigan will be boosted by the return of center David Molk, however Brandon Minor and Carlos Brown will not be 100% which is a huge loss, considering Minor had a strong game against the Nittany Lions last year.
If Tate Forcier gets on a roll at the start, Michigan could quite easily find themselves with an early lead, but they have to contain Evan Royster and Daryll Clark, Penn State's top offensive players. This one could go either way, but I have a feeling Michigan might just win it.
Gameday Prediction: Michigan 24, Penn State 20
