In a game, if they mark one of us, then someone is going to step up and score goals. It makes us more dangerous." The Wolverine: What does the Michigan goals record mean to you? Ezurike: "Honestly, I haven't really thought about it." The Wolverine: As a team, you have a chance at a conference championship. I'm sure that means a little more to you than the record. Ezurike: "Absolutely. That was one of our goals coming into the season. We still have a long way to go to get there, but it's definitely in our reach." The Wolverine: There were some people predicting you as a dark-horse national title contender. Is the team handling the spotlight well? Ezurike: "For sure. We just don't think about it. We take it one game at a time. We can't get ahead of ourselves and think of the outcome a few months ahead." — Andy Reid TheWolverine.com's Facebook Feed Heading into November, Michigan, Michigan State and Nebraska all believe they have a good chance to represent the Legends Division in the Big Ten title game. So we asked on our page, which you can find at www.facebook. com/TheWolverineMagazine who will play for the conference crown the first weekend in December. Adam Gainey: "The winner of the Michigan and Michigan State game will probably determine who wins the Legends Division." Fred Harris: "Michigan State has the best chance of winning the B1G with Michigan already having one loss and the fact that MSU does not have to play Ohio State. My heart says Michigan, but my head says MSU." Billy Black: "Michigan vs. Ohio State." Tim Craft: "Michigan will make it if they escape East Lansing with a win." Paolo Jacobs: "Michigan State will make it because they have the better defense unfortunately." Rick Hall: "I think its Nebraska v Ohio State in the Championship. The Huskers match up well with Michigan State, and Michigan will lose to both. Unfortunately. Maybe next year."
