Another Zook job in the making?

Last week I asked if Iowa might be the team to bring the real Zook out for the first time this season. I have to be honest, I hedged. But my suspicions were correct. In a grudge match rivalry game when the pressure was on Zook folded like a bad hand in Texas Hold 'em. It's interesting that none of the 1500 readers that stopped by courtesy of the Illinois message boards came back to tell me how great Zook is after that performance. Figures. I've never seen a bigger bunch of kool-aid drinking, ignorant asses.

This week the Michigan Wolverines will roll into Champaign to take on the Illini. The teams appear to be evenly matched. Vegas is calling this a pick 'em game which means that at neutral site the odds makers believe Michigan is field goal better than Illinois.

What will Zook show us this week? What trick play will blow up in his face like a prank cigar? What questionable substitution will he make? Will he try an on side kick at some point other than down late in game?

He'll do something. Vegas may think these teams are evenly matched and they might be if you were looking only at the talent, but despite Lloyd Carr's detractors, he's still easily much smarter than Zook.
