Punch that ball out of the guys hands. OSU may make a 15 yard run but then some UofM D player punches at the ball suddenly we have a turnover and those change the game.Maryland had Tua's little bro throwing dimes.
OSU's defense is vulnerable, but we need our O-line healthy and Corum pounding the ball to low-distance 3rd downs to take pressure off our average to below average QB McCarthy.
OSU's offense is a juggernaut once it gets rolling. Michigan can play defense on offense by, as you said, keeping the ball and controlling the clock, keeping the OSU offense on the sideline and cold.

Looks like Michigan will have their running back on the field. Not a big fan of either team, but in love with the rivalry. (Lived for a short time in both States).Arguably one of the most notorious rivalries in all of sports, up there with Duke vs. North Carolina, Yankees vs. Red Sox, Lakers vs. Celtics... and this year both teams arrive (in Michigan's case limp) into an annual showdown with everything on the line.
Here's the Cliff's Notes:
Ohio State comes off of a close win against Maryland 43-30 (It was 36-30 Maryland's ball until a pick 6 sealed it). They have most of their starters from last year's team, and while they are missing their starting running backs, the 3rd stringer looked just as good if not better.
- Advantages: Better QB and Passing game, Big-Play Offense, More experienced players, Better recruiting.
- Disadvantages: Vulnerable defense
Michigan limps into the game after BARELY squeaking past formerly-ranked Illinois, winning via a game winning FG with a few seconds left 19-17. Their Heisman RB Blake Corum was injured in the first half, and their backup also was out, so like Ohio State, they had a 3rd stringer at RB too. The difference was, Michigan's was completely ineffective as well as dropping passes. Michigan also had their starting big play TE out, their WR2 was out, and their starting Left guard is out. The fill-in WR dropped a TD pass late in the game. Their QB is average at best, and succeeds feeding off of the threat of a Corum running game. Without Corum, he's largely incapable of winning a game for you.
- Advantages: O-Line and Dominant Running Game, maintain possessions, High-ranked Defense.
- Disadvantages: Multiple injuries, few returning starters from last year/lack of depth, Average inaccurate QB.
As a Michigan fan, I knew coming into this game it would be tough given the turnover Michigan had after their domination of Ohio State last year, getting their first win over their rival in a LONG time. At full health I'd have it 60-40 chance of win OSU. Depending on injuries, that could fade to 70-30 or 80-20 OSU. I hope Michigan can get their studs back so they can do give their best shot, and if they lose so be it.
Looks like Corum is out.. running game will suffer.. doubt we can win relying on McCarthyLooks like Michigan will have their running back on the field. Not a big fan of either team, but in love with the rivalry. (Lived for a short time in both States).
I’m looking for a Michigan win, but wouldn’t bet a nickel on it!
No more updates? LOL10-10
Incredible second half. Now we wait to see who they blow out in the BIG championship game.Looks like Corum is out.. running game will suffer.. doubt we can win relying on McCarthy
I hope so. They almost lost last week. But so did Ohio State. I called it. This year UofM is legit.Incredible second half. Now we wait to see who they blow out in the BIG championship game.
I’ve wondered if both teams were legit all year. I still have a bit of a concern about Michigan without their Housman candidate at running back. But with him? I think they have a real shot to get into the National championship game.I hope so. They almost lost last week. But so did Ohio State. I called it. This year UofM is legit.
It should.Good game by Michigan, wonder if this will knock Ohio St out of the top four.
UGAGood game by Michigan, wonder if this will knock Ohio St out of the top four.
That is how I see it.UGA
UM
TCU
USC
LSU
OSU
Alabama
Unless LSU loses…..That is how I see it.
And cue exactly that. So it looks like Georgia, Michigan, TCU, then it depends on the committee. How far they want to drop Ohio State or if they feel USC deserves that fourth spot. So next week Georgia vs LSU, Michigan vs Purdue, TCU vs Kansas State, and USC gets Utah again of Washington beats Washington State, it’ll be Oregon if the Cougars pull the upset. If it is Utah and they beat USC again, now some chaos is likely and Ohio State could be the beneficiary. I don’t see them falling lower than 5.Unless LSU loses…..

Should our running back be better before the next game? Or can we beat Perdue without him?I’ve wondered if both teams were legit all year.
