The weather experts are still dealing with uncertain probabilities for the course of Hurricane Joaquin.

As far as Maryland is concerned, they are going to need a much stronger effort than they received last week when they got demolished 45-6 by West Virginia.

The game was scheduled to be a nationally televised night game on the Big Ten Network. He owns the same amount of touchdowns as Hills (4) and has accumulated more yards with 381 on the season. Michigan will be at least a +2 in this game, and it’ll show on the scoreboard.

De’Veon Smith is a human wrecking ball coming out of the backfield, and Jake Rudock completed his first 60 minutes without a turnover in a Michigan uniform. As U-M coach Jim Harbaugh said today, the discussions were in Maryland’s court.

Hurricane Joaquin, a Category 3 storm, has maximum sustained winds of 120 miles per hour as it travels up the Eastern Seaboard from the Bahamas, and is expected to strengthen over the next day or two. In that game, it was the defense that managed to keep Michigan within striking distance the whole time.

Five of Maryland’s upcoming opponents rank in the conference’s top six for total defense, with Michigan leading the way. Any amount of rain and wind could severely impact the way Michigan plays football, and could cause major problems on special teams and on offense.
