it's cliche to say, but THE Game will likely come down to QB play, which one takes care of the ball, doesn't make the killer turnover mistakes, and just keeps the offense executing and ahead of the chains. 

Kyle McCord on the road in 5 games this year so far...

74 completions, 124 attempts (59.6% completion),  8 TDs vs 4 INTs. 

Not terrible, but then again not exactly amazing and what OSU has been used to with Stroud, Fields, Haskins.

McCord almost threw the game losing INT vs ND but got away with one, and then came back from that near disaster and led them on the go ahead last play TD drive. 

Marvin Harrison will get his 100+ yards and a TD or two. He's too fcking good and unbelievably talented not to. He's gonna get his, there just isn't a CB in CFB that can stop him one on one for 60 minutes. The key for Michigan will be to stifle the running game and to try and confuse McCord and disrupt his timing. Have to contain Henderson and the backs and make McCord basically go win the game with his arm. He's capable of it for sure, but the crowd noise and atmosphere and weather should all be hinderance that he'll have to over come.

Depends on if Michigan is planning on letting JJ throw the ball or not.  

When they did it to PSU I lolz'd and thought "Well played."  When they did it again I started wondering if this is just what Michigan is at the moment.  

I can hear Day praying from here that Mich just runs Corum at them 30 times.

Several Michigan injuries sustained in the game at Maryland.  Michigan doesn't really talk about injuries so these are my best guesses. 

Starting WR Roman Wilson was targeted (not called) most likely sat out the remainder of the game as a concussion precaution.  I would guess he'll play Saturday.

Starting LT Henderson did not play because he "was working through something."  I would guess he'll play on Saturday.

Replacement LT Hinton left the game with an injury to his right knee and had to be helped off the field.  I would guess he'll not play on Saturday.

Starting LB Barrett suffered and AC shoulders sprain per his own words.  He returned to the Maryland game late so he should be fine for Saturday.

That is an excellent take. I agree completely.

The winner almost certainly will get a 1 or 2 seed in the CFP (barring a MAJOR upset of course).  This is a playoff game.  (I think the SEC CG is as well.)

Often, the winner in such contests catches a few breaks, key penalties, random turnovers, tipped passes that are either INTs or completions and just drop to the ground, special teams breaks or fiascos.  Any guess as to the outcome is just a guess, I'm sure UM is favored slightly (I looked it up, I guessed 3 points, and see 3.5).  That's often a decent indicator, but that kind of line means the favorite wins about 60% of the time, a near tossup.

My ridiculous guess?  Ohio State 27  UM 24
