Michigan's DBs all played well.  Didn't seen any completed passes by Stroud to his crazy talented WRs that were wide open or behind the D.
They absolutely did.   It was a great strategy too- use the elite DEs to limit the time Stroud had.  

What can bring them out of man is the running game or a running QB.  Michigan coaching staff only needed to worry about one of those things- and they gambled a bit to shut the other down.  OSU really never made them pay. 

It was a relatively useless 400 yard passing day for Stroud.

Iowa also missed the top three teams from the East, was getting blasted by the fourth place team until their QB went down, and lost to two of the three bowl bound teams in their own division
Well as we know those variables don't necassarily transfer,on the money line I'd take UM with a return not worth the bet.Hope it's hotly contested either way

Any way moving forward anyone have injury reports for the BTCG?

Michigan coaching staff was actually brilliant of course, any strategy that works to perfection will be considered brilliant.

how many people realize that at halftime Michigan had more passing yards then running yards?   They (OSU) went into the second half on defense in their two deep shell on most looks which only left five or six in the box, and Michigan took care of that with ease. By the time Ohio State figured it out, they were physically bludgeoned and way too tired.  

If someone would have told you that Ohio State would win the time of possession battle, the turnover battle, and have as many total yards as Michigan, and that the score would be 42 to 27, you would have put lots of money on Ohio State having one this game.

I think Michigan is healthy for the most part.   Even Corum is back from his high ankle sprain.

At half time the game was 14-13 so they had to be happy considering the history.Maybe this will light a fire under Day because talking to my coaching buddies we weren't impressed with the sloppy play,missed opportunities,penalties .I really think they read their headlines  believed it and turned soft.And the defense definately got winded .Losing Cooper,Smith and Togiai early departure(from 2020) certainly showed and Proctor done proved too much.Only one stat that counts.They don't ask how,they ask how many

Iowa knows how to play defense.  I expect them to battle.

Having said that- it is hard not to acknowledge the “journey“ that Michigan is on.

You just get the feeling that they focused on fundamentals and improvement each week this year and brought it all to ahead Saturday. But now they have the confidence of knowing what they are capable of and I don’t think Iowa can match them for 60 minutes. Also I don’t think Michigan will bow to anybody they will face in the playoffs -in other words, they have a real shot to go all the way in my honest opinion.

I think Iowa leads the nation in interceptions.  On the other hand, Iowa's OL has given up a lot of tackles for loss.  Michigan should win if they can get over the Ohio State win and avoid the turnovers that have been so helpful to Iowa this year.

This is a very underappreciated fact. There’s been a lot of years in the past 5 or 6, heading into THE game that UM was just beat up and not 100%. Certainly not an excuse, but it helps when all of your horses are healthy.

I was surprised the Buckeyes didn't try more deep throws over the defense, especially in the 2nd half

I'm getting the same vibes from UM and looking at each of the remaining playoff hopefuls the title really should be up for grabs this year.  UM might of picked the perfect year to pull things together.

Stroud wasn't getting the time in the pocket to allow the receivers to get behind the defense. The UM D line, specifically the ends, were getting to much pressure on him. He had to dump the ball off to the underneath receivers to often.
