my two cents…
Michigan got a lot better the last 3 seasons via coaching hires like Mike MacDonald, Jesse Minter, Sherrone Moore, Mike Hart, abs Steve Clinkscale and they have recruited much better players especially at QB and RB. Jeem’s Michigan teams had very mid QBs before JJ and if we’re being honest the RBs were kinda meh as well. Blake Corum and Donovan Edwards make a difference.
Meanwhile OSU definitely got better offensively but it might’ve lost it’s physical toughness/edge that Meyer teams always had without Urbz there. I feel like this was the first year that Day had a team with a legit defense- and Meyer is known as an offensive coach but if you look at his teams even going back to FL they always had exceptional defenses. Feel like this was the first time Day had one of those.
