#2 Ohio State (9-0, 12-0) at #13 Michigan (6-3, 9-3) Post Game

The difference is Freddie is a first year head coach while Harbaugh has been around for quite awhile

Lol. That’s certainly true. I wasn’t so much comparing them as coaches as saying the experience watching their teams is similar. Meaning, just shake your head moments where as a fan you ask “what the hell are they thinking.” To your point, Harbaugh should be well beyond moments like that.

ill also say, the receiver play from this group has been a huge letdown. Patterson certainly has some blame in the past, but Black, Collins and DPJ should be a powerhouse at their talent levels and they simply continue to underwhelm.

Hairball was not happy in the post game presser.

He should be mad at himself. He’s now 0-5 vs Ohio State with the last two losses being embarrassing blowouts where his teams got ran off the field. 

does anyone really think a 6th year is going to change anything? The guy can’t beat Ohio State. Period. And at Michigan you basically have one job: BEAT OHIO STATE. 

we need a coach that hates Ohio State more than he loves Michigan and whose single purpose and mission in life is to beat Ohio State by any and all means necessary. Jeeem is not that guy. He’s a spaced out weirdo on mood stabilizer meds. He’s lost whatever it factor and edge he had and he’s afraid of Ohio State at this point. They are in his head.

I thought going for it was a no brainer. And they had a great play. But the running back messed up.

I agree. They had to go for it.

Down 15 with just over 12 minutes remaining against the #1 team in the country you have to go on 4th and short.

GO BUCKS!!!

[Cincydawg]

Giving up that many points two years in a row to THE rival is, well, a something.

Do they have a better shot next year in Columbus?

[Brutus Buckeye]

With the win OSU surpassed Michigan for the all time win percentage.

I honestly can’t believe that’s not getting more run in the media. That’s a bigger deal than when Michigan held it because more of the ins are modern era wins.

The result is not a surprise. Ohio State has more depth and talent. That’s because they have out recruited Michigan for a long long time.

Are there demographic trends handicapping Michigan?
Cruising through some population-change maps, Michigan and Ohio seem to have about the same rate of population growth.
Is it just that Ohio State hires HFCs who are better recruiters?

[FearlessF]

does Harbaugh recruit as well as the LongHorns?

many times it's the assistant coaches that do most of the recruiting heavy work - the HFC just closes the deal

[CWSooner]

Per The Sporting News, Michigan ranks 9th in recruiting over the last 10 years, while The OSU ranks 2nd (behind Bama).
