Just because I bothered to calculate, points per red zone trip:

Michigan 5.11
Ohio State 5.48

Eventually this stat will catch on.

I have been clamoring for that forever.  And extending it out to the 30.  I think one of my earliest posts on the CFN boards was after the 2002 UM-OSU game, how UM got inside the OSU 35 five times, and got 9 points out of it; while OSU got inside Michigan's 35 twice, and punched in two TDs

Bill Connelly does this for inside the 40.

This is a MUCH better stat than the usual % because the % treats FG's and TD's as equals.  If a team was 100% with all FG's that % is MUCH better than either tOSU's or M's but obviously their points per is 3 which is MUCH worse.  

for as much is made about the state of Ohio having more HS football talent than Michigan- which it obviously does...most of OSU's starters are...well...not from Ohio.

2 on offense and 2 on defense- both at LOS positions. 

Michigan has 1 starter on offense (LT Ryan Hayes) from the state of Michigan, and 4 on defense (OLB/DE Aidan Hutchinson, NT Mazi Smith, ILB Josh Ross, and CB Vincent Gray). 

There are 44 starters on these units between the two teams. Only 9 are from Michigan/Ohio, roughly 20%. Which means 80% of the starting players in this game aren't even from these states or really know what it means to the people of these two states. 

Also: kind of makes me think it really doesn't matter how much talent you have in your state if you can recruit nationally. Not exactly like Bama has stock-piles of HS talent in their state. Ever since Saban has been there they recruit nationally and get whoever the hell they want from whatever state they want.

Dave portnoy sucks, and works for a rival company. Woodson I like,  but also works for a rival company.  

Maniscalco was a worthless picker. Had about as much CFB knowledge as Katy Perry. And he's not even from Michigan nor was a student there.

should've asked Bill Burr. He's a diehard Michigan fan. And way funnier than whoever the hell that guy was.
