They win out they are in,of course the Horns wouldn't mind kicking the chair out from under them. In the las ten years the Frogs are 7-3 straight up vs the Horns

I don't understand why OSU is ranked by most everyone over Michigan.  One can run the ball and the other can't.  That means something to me.

I wish somehow OSU and UM could settle this on the field ...

That’s my point.  That and that Ohio State can’t run the ball is a completely false narrative.

Ohio State does not want to be a power running team. That does not end well, just see Illinois yesterday for a recent example.

both of these teams use conflict to create a running place successfully.  If you shut down their running game they can beat you with a pass and vice versa.  Indiana held Michigan to 165 yards rushing and Michigan still kick their ass.  In today’s game you have to have balance and use the run to make room for the pass, and a pass to make room for the room and Ohio State is very good at that and so is Michigan

that was one of the only games Michigan really threw the ball often. Indiana was keeping extra men in the box and run blitzing the sh*t out of Michigan- and JJ threw for 300+ yards- removing the OOC- that's the only time he's ever thrown for more than 220 yards. 

Indiana and Iowa did the best of any teams all year slowing down the Michigan rushing attack, and Michigan still went for 165 on Indiana and 172 on Iowa. They went about trying to slow down Michigan's rushing attack in different ways. Iowa didn't run blitz and load the box quite as hard as Indiana did. 

I know, it's very akin to saying UGA just wants to run the ball and can't pass downfield (or that Tennessee only passes and can't run).  UGA averages 320 passing, and it would be more except for the blowouts, 325 passing attempts vs 323 rushing.  Some teams gets labled because it's facile.

I'd lean a skoch to Michigan right now, but think OSU beats them at home in a classic.

UGA may have a hangover with MissState.

Nah. UGA is winning out, they're the best team in the SEC and in 'Merica.

As for OSU-MICH, right now it's a coin flip, pick 'em. OSU should be favored by 3 points simply just because of home field imo. And I'm leaning towards OSU right now because Michigan hasn't won in Columbus since 2000 when Drew Henson was the starting QB. That's a big ask for a 19 year old kid who is a first time starter and will have just 10 starts total under his belt when he goes into that lions den.

Michigan did much better in the red zone converting TD's this past week. Need to see them keep that up vs Nebraska and Illinois and build on it going into Ohio State. Play-calling still goes long stretches of WTF was that. Downfield passing attack still just a mark off. They are oh so close but just inches and feet off- you'd think at some f'ng point it's got to click and pop. JJ never seems to be in a rhythm- I think this is in large part a side effect of clunky all over the place offensive play-calling- but he's making plays with his feet more and he's limiting the big mistakes- he's getting better every week just running the offense and taking what defense gives him. They still really aren't featuring him in the run game, he's had no designed QB runs and seems like they must be telling him to give the ball and not keep it on the zone read no matter what bc it just seems like he's always making the wrong read on that play and handing the ball off no matter what. They need to get his legs more involved in the offense if they want to beat Ohio State. My guess is they are trying to limit his carries and running until the OSU game or until they get Cade McNamara back healthy to be the back-up- which would make sense bc with McNamara out if JJ gets hurt they're f**ked.

Michigan needs to get Donovan Edwards more involved in the offense as well. He should be getting 12-15 carries a game minimum and he should be getting 5-10 targets a game at receiver minimum. They need to feature this kid in the offense A LOT. Corum is freaking awesome, but Edwards can just do so much more as a receiver and he's got that same home run hitting speed that Corum has.
