Still smarting from Michigan’s 1995 beatdown of Ohio State, Eddie George went out on a limb and predicted Northwestern to upset Michigan in last night’s game at Evanston. Perhaps George still subscribes to his former teammate’s, Terry Glenn’s, assessment of Michigan, “Michigan is nothing!”
George claimed that Northwestern is difficult to beat at night especially at home. He also stated that he didn’t have faith in Michigan’s defense. Perhaps George is a believer now as Michigan shut-out Dan Persa and the Mildcats in the second half. In fact, he should have been believing since 1995 when he was eliminated from having an impact on the outcome of Ohio State-Michigan matchup then. Somehow he still managed to win the Heisman despite Biakabatuka racking up 313 yards to his measly 103.
As a college football analyst, George needs take a cue from Kirk Herbstreit and learn to check his bias at the door. Old wounds may run too deep for the overrated running back/analyst to do so. Nebraska’s come from behind beat-down of Ohio State may only motivate George to continue picking against Michigan for the rest of the year. Until he gets over his Michigan bias, George will continue to be a non-factor as an analyst just like he was as a player.

Two turnovers at home and Penn State only scores 17 points? And then they say “We’re back!”?
It will take more than a video of a game from 2005 to beat OSU this year. Though, after we beat Penn State, you can still watch your video and imagine what might have been, if it makes you feel better.
