1. Cade McNamara will have his breakout performance

For Michigan to realize their full potential and possibly be able to take down Ohio State, they are going to have to get improved quarterback play from Cade McNamara. He has not been bad this season, but if he can make this offense more explosive, this team will be that much tougher.

I think that McNamara is in line to have his best game of the year on Saturday and that is going to be the reason that the Wolverines will go into East Lansing and come away with a win.

Michigan State plays a bend, but don’t break style of defense. I think that is going to allow McNamara to hit some easy throws and get into a rhythm early.

Michigan has been searching for a deep threat ever since top receiver Ronnie Bell went down with an injury and that has been a point of emphasis for Michigan. Look for McNamara to have a very efficient game and lead his team to victory on Saturday.
