A key will be nursing QB Mitch Leidner back to health.<\/p>\n He has a turf toe that kept him out of the last game, which they won easily against San Jose State. As much as Big Blue is struggling this week won\u2019t be as easy.<\/p>\n Minnesota has not beaten Michigan since 2005 and a healthy Leidner will be key to trying ot end that streak.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=66501&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n His overall numbers are not very good but last week backup Chris Streveler completed just one pass in the victory – has to be some sort of modern record, right?<\/p>\n If you look closely you can see that Leider was completely befuddled in the loss down at TCU. Other than that he hasn\u2019t been great but he might be good enough given what we are seeing from Big Blue these days.<\/p>\n Things went from pretty bad to much worse for Michigan last week.<\/p>\n A few years back losing at home to Utah might not have been so bad but this is a low tier PAC12 team and they came into the Big House and beat the Wolverines despite being outgained in the contest. Michigan has some talent but they are just too mistake prone right now.<\/p>\n It might be time for Devon Gardner to change his jersey number. The only thing worse than a QB throwing an interception is doing so with the jersey of a defensive end.<\/p>\n There is some talent on this team but they keep getting in their own way.<\/p>\n Turnovers did them in against Utah last week and if they are sloppy again they will lose to Minnesota as well. Last year Gardner had one of his most efficient games of the season against the Gophers going 13\/17 with no interceptions.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=63739&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n They don\u2019t need him to play great to get another easy victory, just not make the kind of mistakes that will cost them the game.<\/p>\n Not sure you can really get behind Michigan these days. <\/p>\n\n
