These are two of the most recognizable programs in the country. The Wolverines have had a forgettable season in the national spotlight, losing to Appalachian State, watching Heisman candidates QB Chad Henne and RB Mike Hart get injured, and finally ushering in the end of the Lloyd Carr regime.

Time heals all wounds. Henne and Hart should be healthy for this game, and Rich Rodriguez is already waiting in the wings to replace Carr. This gives Michigan an opportunity to play at the level many expected from the No. 5-ranked club in the preseason.

That might not be enough to beat Florida. Led by Heisman winner Tim Tebow at quarterback, the Gators are 5-1 SU and ATS in their last six and are laying 11 points to Michigan. They finished the year No. 5 in efficiency and should beat the No. 22 Wolverines; the spread is another issue. Michigan’s seniors should come up with something for Carr’s finale.
