It’s certainly too early to make any judgments on new coach Brady Hoke’s 2011 Wolverines, but they enter Saturday’s home game vs. Purdue having played their first true quality opponent and losing two Saturdays ago by two touchdowns before a bye this past weekend. So is another slide in order after a 6-0 start? Michigan opened as a 14-point favorite on Bodog’s NCAA football odds vs. the Boilers for this Saturday’s game in Ann Arbor.

This will be the sixth home game for No. 17 Michigan (6-1, 2-1 Big Ten) already. Two weeks ago, the Wolverines went down the road to East Lansing and lost 28-14 to Michigan State. The Spartans seem to know how to handle Michigan QB Denard Robinson as they held the Heisman candidate to 123 yards passing and 42 rushing.

MSU clinched the game when Robinson threw an interception and Isaiah Lewis returned it 39 yards for a touchdown with 4:31 left. Robinson is the best running QB in the country but has struggled throwing, completing 53.9 percent of his passes this season (76 of 141) for 1,253 yards, 11 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Michigan can’t afford another loss if it hopes to win the Legends Division.

Purdue (4-3, 2-1) is still in contention in the Big Ten’s Leaders Division with Penn State leading at 4-0 in conference play. The Boilers beat ranked Illinois last week 21-14. Quarterback Caleb TerBush, who was third string at one point, had a brilliant first half completing 12 of 16 passes for 145 yards and two touchdowns. It was the Boilers’ first win over a ranked team since 2009.

The Boilermakers, who have yet to win back-to-back games this year, look for a second straight victory in Michigan Stadium, a feat that no Purdue team has pulled off in the Big House since 1965-66. The Wolverines outscored the Boilermakers 13-3 in the second half to leave West Lafayette with a 27-16 victory and snap Purdue's two-game winning streak in the series on Nov. 13 last season, however.
