If someone forced me to pick, I'd have to go with tOSU.  But I think Michigan has a shot.  Should be a lot of fun to watch.  Outside of my own team, this is my favorite one to watch every season.

no. would never. merely saying his attempt at voodoo magic won't work. Of course there is a way OSU will win. They should win. They are 7.5 point home favorites, ranked higher, and have a better roster.

I honestly don't see a path forward for Michigan to win this game with Corum and Edwards both banged up. JJ has been solid, good, not great- he's shown flashes but he's been inconsistent and so has that passing game and WRs in general. Not confident in the WRs or JJ getting it done- NEED the running game firing and clicking on all cylinders, period. I think Corum and Edwards may both play but I have no idea and none of us will until the game starts. BIG question if they both play is how healthy are they? Are they 90% or better? I think you can win with that. Anything less than that- gonna be tough. Michigan just doesn't have anything behind those two guys- and those guys are their entire offense.

Michigan's 3rd RB is a 195 pound true frosh CJ Stokes who has had fumbling issues. He fumbled the ball out of bounds vs Illinois and was never seen from again the rest of the game late in the 4th QTR. Their 4th string RB Tavierre Dunlap has been injured all year basically. Their 5th string RB is a 175 pound walk-on Isiah Gash who no offense to him- stinks. He should stink. He's a 175 pound walk-on.
In this game, throw everything out of the window. It will be a battle and we won't know anything until the fat lady sings. I hope for a good game and a Buckeye win. 

And by the way, MICHIGAN STILL SUCKS.  :sign0151:

I will say I pretty much agree with ya there except for the last part lol. 

This game truly is a throw the record books out and expect the unexpected. I just hope for a great game and good showing by Michigan. I want to see an all timer epic battle that goes down to the wire like ‘06. 
 
I think with a close loss they could back door their way in the playoff if USC trips up. If they get blown off the field like they did in ‘18 and ‘19- no shot.

I like Dallan Hayden alot -  he needs little daylight to get thru the seems/holes.That is something Zeke and JK Dobbins excelled at.Hayden follows blocks and daylight extremely well.Not sure about his speed but he certainly seems fast enough. No east-west stutter stepping - as much as there is to like about Henderson he does it enough to be irritating.I hope Williams/Henderson are ready to go,haven't seen a forecast yet but either way I like the Scarlett & Gray's chances

Hayden is going to be good.  He is patient and charges through gaps and has tremendous speed. But, he’s truly a freshman and he has not gotten big enough yet to be a tackle breaker.  That will come when he’s been in the program another year or two.

Both Henderson in Williams or actually great running backs when they’re healthy, but both of them are doing a little bit too much dancing in the hole because of their injuries and seem to be shying away from contact which is not how they normally are.  Especially Miyan. 

I will be really surprised if we see all that much of them on Saturday. They’ve been banged up badly for weeks now.

Michigan is 0-6 vs Ohio State when in Columbus and both teams are ranked in the top 5.

Off the top of my head Clarett,Ginn,Gamble all started as true freshmen.As much as there is to like about Henderson I agree with most of the posters on 11 Warriors.He needs to stop with the east-west running,juking back & forth.The pursuit is just too fast before moving forward.Hayden flies to the hole and finds the crease and follows blocks.Hopefully Williams/Henderson are both able to play

Ryan Day's offense lost this game and they did it in the first half.

The final stats say Michigan outgained the Buckeyes 530-492 but that is AFTER Michigan ran away at the end.

After Ohio State's FG cut it to eight the Wolverines had two possessions, 168 yards, two TD's. Ohio State had two possessions, 71 yards, two picks. 

Jim Knowles' defense shut down Michigan for what should have been long enough but the failure to convert yards into points in the first half and the failure to do much of anything in the second half just put way too much pressure on the Ohio State defense. 

Second thing, credit to JJ McCarthy. Early in the game Ohio State effectively stopped Michigan's rushing game and JJ did just enough to keep them in the game.

Michigan really has been a 2nd half team all year. Today was no different.

2nd half:

Michigan- 28, Ohio State- 3

Michigan rushing yards in 2nd half: 242. Ohio State rushing yards in 2nd half: 19.

Day didn't throw deep at all in the 3rd - that was the head scratcher.Momentum can shift to quickly and they didn't seem to get it back

Completely agree. Early in Harbaugh’s Michigan career, his 2nd halfs were not good and I thought he was outcoached often. This year, he has had very good 2nd half’s.

Knowles dared JJ to beat them with cover zero.
