True, they also had that long drive (aided by a terrible missed holding call on a key 3rd down) that just killed the whole 4th quarter. That killed us as much as the 3 big runs. I would like to see how they do against a team that is elite at stopping the run, my gut says they lose that game.
But like you said Michigan busts about 3-5 huge runs a game. If you can limit them to 1 or 2 big plays throughout the game you should have a chance to beat them. Now, that is easier said then done. Their oline opens up huge holes and both their RBs will house it on you when they get the opportunity. They busted 2 huge plays against Oklahoma, but otherwise they (OU) bottled them up for most of the game.
