Here’s what I don’t understand. If Michigan has simply been cheating in the eyes of Big 10 coaches and they can’t continue to do what they’ve been doing, why would Penn State or Ohio State want anything more than letting these games play out as normal? According to so many OsU fans, Michigan only won in 2022 and 2021 because Michigan had a competitive advantage from cheating. If that’s the truth, Michigan should have two losses on the field in the next 60 days and letting it play out would prove that more so than bringing the hammer down now.
If Michigan gets beat easily by those two schools, then add punishment of scholarship loss and bowl ban.
The true fear is with this much attention, if Michigan still runs the table, there’s no excuses left.
From reading some of the forums- the overwhelming majority of fans want to play Michigan- badly! But what does that have to to with the 22 game?
I think you would agree- this years version of OSU is not as good as last year’s. And this years version of UM is better.
Last year-the game was in Columbus Ohio state was favored. This year the game is it, Ann, Arbor, and Michigan will absolutely be favored
Just being honest with you, I have watched the 22 game multiple times on YouTube since this came out. It looks to me like in the first half Michigan had an idea of what to play calls were, but had an absolute certainty of what they were in the second half. It’s really obvious actually.
So hopefully that answers your question. They want to play Michigan this year, but they are pissed because they feel they were cheating last year. I’m not even saying that’s the right thought process but I’m just answering your question.
Ohio State scored 45 points a game last year, including putting up 41 what was thought to be the best defense in the country, and their own backyard, when they played Georgia.
Michigan gave up over 50 points to TCU. But somehow Michigan was able to hold Ohio State to three points in the second half of their game, in Columbus, with CJ, Stroud, Marvin, Harrison, and all those guys on Ohio State? Maybe they just played over their heads. But the optics of it are tough given what is being alleged now.
