Michigan 42 Penn State 7.

It was not like playing against Michigan State.  It was a well-played game with few penalties.  Players were helping each other up from the field.  There were no ejections.

Still the one negative was Michigan rubbing it in.  It is unfortunate because Michigan won soundly regardless.

The game was a blowout.  True, Michigan made it look worse than it was, but it was still completely one-sided. 

For Penn State, maybe they still have not recovered from the Ohio State loss.  Trace McSorley appeared plenty healthy and his back-up--the interception right to Brandon Watson--was not better.  Miles Sanders and the rest of the rushing attack did almost nothing; the receivers played a minor role with a freshman tight end (Pat Freiermuth) leading the group in receptions and yards.  The Penn State front seven could not contain the Michigan rushing attack and the offensive line could not run block effectively or protect the quarterback.

Michigan dominated.  On offense the quarterback, running backs, receivers, and O-line were all better.  The defense, the entire group, shut Penn State down.

The two teams, both powers in the Big Ten East, appear to be on different trajectories.  This game was not about an injury or two or even the somewhat distasteful "revenge tour."  Penn State is not building on or developing their talent.  Michigan is poised to win the division and potentially go further toward the college football championship.  And, for Michigan the future looks bright.

Harbaugh and the immense Michigan football budget have built an excellent team.  This year they are the cream of the Big Ten.
