3. MICHIGAN
Ohio
State, at Beaver Stadium, a place
that
has always had an equalizing ef-
fect. But if there are games in the fall,
they will be played in empty stadiums,
so their home-field advantage will be
neutralized.
And if the season is pushed
to
the spring, you can't help but won-
der whether draft-worthy players like
Parsons and Freiermuth will partici-
pate. The Lions are probably going to be
very
good no matter when they resume
play,
but purely in terms of their on-
field fortunes, this is a particularly in-
opportune time to see a season thrown
into limbo.
