1. CB Joe Haden vs WR Mario Manningham
Can the Gators' little big man shut down the Wolverines top wideout? Probably not. But UF's short secondary needs to at least slow down the Wolverines passing attack. Haden's ankle is ready to go, so that will help, but Michigan's experienced passing attack will be too much for the Gators to handle.
Edge: Michigan
2. DT Clint McMillan vs. RB Mike Hart
UF fans better hope the defensive line is ready. Going against stud offensive lineman Jake Long and RB Mike Hart will be their biggest test this season. If DT and top run stopper Javier Estopinian wasn't out for the season with an ACL, this would be a more intriguing matchup. But as it is, Hart should be licking his limps and getting ready to send Coach Lloyd Carr out with a win.
Edge: Michigan
3. QB Tim Tebow vs. Michigan's whole defense.
This might not be very pretty. Tebow and the Gators offense should easily be able to run up, down and around Michigan's defense. The question is if UF can control the ball long enough to keep Hart and Michigan's passing attack off the field.
Edge: UF
