With uncertainty surrounding the health of both Cade McNamara and Joe Milton, rumors have begun to swirl around that true freshman Dan Villari is set to make his first college football start inside of the Horseshoe against the No. 3 Ohio State Buckeyes. If the game does proceed as scheduled, and Villari does get the nod, he will become the first quarterback in Michigan Football history to start their first game on the road in Columbus.
I wondered why the spread was so big (last I saw it was 30.5). I know TTUN is in a down year, but this may explain why the Buckeyes are favored so much. I think a true frosh QB in his first start may get rattled pretty easily, although the lack of a crowd may help a bit.
I'm not taking anything for granted, though. I remember USC's 19 year old QB Matt Barkley coming to town in 2009, and the resulting 18-15 loss to the Trojans.
Regardless of who starts for TTUN - Go Bucks! Drop 100 on the skunkweasels!
