We all know how equalized two opponents can become in a true rivalry game. Read: throw out our double-digit favoritism because it's Moo-U week, even if at the 'House, eh?
Well, we also know that in close, fiercely-contested games, it can and often does come down to special teams.
And we have the upper hand in virtually every phase there. According to Kyle Meinke, the only real wash is at punter, where Will Hagerup's cannon leg is almost matched by their punter's. But in returns (Norfleet and Gallon),
and place-kicking (money-in-the-bank B.G.), it's all Michigan.
Something more to chomp on...
