A well placed pick six, a punt return or punt block...a couple of offensive TDs. Michigan can EASILY score more than 20.
Plus, you may recall last year OSU had a hell of a time moving the ball on them.
I expect Michigan to run right at OSU and throw the kitchen sink in there. Screens, reverses, misdirection.
Ohio State better bring there "A" game on defense, and their mistake free offense.
Don't fall into the trap of one team looking better on paper. Not in this series.
Oh I agree, I think the UM defense and special teams can make this a game. but I don't see the UM offense with Okorn scoring 20. the defense, kicking game could get one, Ohio State's special teams have been a mess most of the season.
Ohio State's offense has been sporadic as well, so I wouldn't be surprised to see a 17-10 type game going into the 4th quarter. but I think the Ohio State running attack with even a little bit of a passing game will be enough to score at worst 24. I just can't see UM getting there with Okorn. with Peters, sure, but not with Okorn.
believe me, I haven't forgotten the Cooper years. I know being the favorite doesn't mean a whole lot in this game, especially if UM can grab an early lead it will most likely be a dog fight. but if UM falls behind early, allowing Ohio State to really pound the run game, I think it'll be enough to get the W.
