How many returning starters for Michigans o line?

[@kevinchandler179]

Sam, you forgot to mention the Winningest coach ever Joe Pa!!!! Bear, Joe Pa and Saban are the best damn ever, Bo and Woody Hayes couldn't hold their whistles!!!! WE ARE

Is Ohio State the Big Ten's best team?

[@armandhammer3782]

Not necessarily.

[@collegefootballwithsam]

@@armandhammer3782 Who is in your opinion?

[@jw8797]

I would say Ohio State is tied with Oregon & Michigan cause I think we should see all three in games to tell who really is the Big Ten’s best team

@@kevinchandler179please stop talking you said the same thing last year. We cannot ever claim to be better until allar and the WR’s step it up and you have no proof they will yet

Hahahaha Michigan is not top 3 in big ten THIS year

[@bschmid100]

Malik Hartford. Jermaine Matthew’s, Calvin Simpson hunt, Jayden bonsu. And true freshman Aaron Scott. Sonny, CJ both 5 stars at lb. Cody Simon. D line is Ohio states DEEPEST ROOM. they can run 9 deep consistently

[@bschmid100]

This is my last comment. That td pass to Wilson and in THE Game was NOT CONTROLED TO THE POINT OF COntact to the ground. That ball was picked and YOU KNOW IT

[@NickBarbier.]

Lol what ever makes you sleep at night

[@MaizeBlueMichigan]

I disagree. The ball does move initially from contact with the defender, but Roman then regains control, takes a full step and falls to the ground with it tucked to his chest before the defender grabs it from him. It was in fact a catch. I would act surprised about an OSU fan making excuses but it's far too common. Michigan was better, period.

[@THSLast]

Yea you don’t know the rules I’ll leave it at that

[@ahunt2117]

Wilson possessed the ball OVER THE GOAL LINE then got it taken away. Interception anywhere else on the field. Wilson touchdown. Wouldn’t expect an OSU fan to understand this. You don’t know/understand football rules. Go Blue!

[@omgitsfriday]

It’s like the JT Barret spot. It was too close to complain about. Our team was just ass last year and I fucking despise Michigan.

[@lpslover8627]

I just have big concerns about the O-line.

[@collegefootballwithsam]

Understandable. My biggest concerns on the OL are center Seth McLaughlin's snapping on the road, and the level of play at tackle.

[@casuallynerdy1664]

Ohio States O-Line issue is extremely overrated. The only issue they will have is at right guard and there are plenty of players who can step up to take that spot. Believe it or not every o-line requires young talent to step up eventually.

[@lpslover8627]

I admit I have been one of Day's doubters. I called for his head last year. I could just see Cooper 2.0. Didn't want to be facing 2-10 against michigan before a move is made. He HAS impressed me with all the offseason moves, but I'm going to need to see more before I am convinced. Show me, baby! Beat Oregon, Penn State, and michigan and I'll eat my hat! I could very well be proven wrong this year, and I hope I am.

[@casuallynerdy1664]

Get that hat ready. I am so sick of all of these wishful thinking Michigan fans. Oregon will be tough but I am not so sure Michigan will be. Still a absolute must win game.

[@elijahmahone9358]

Even if he did 12 team playoff unfortunately devalues that

[@jakeodd971]

Great video Sam but I’m gonna have to strongly disagree with you on the take where you said every other urban team loses to 22 and 23 Michigan. 2015 Ohio state was better then 2014 even tho 14 won the natty that 15 team was more experienced and had more nfl talent throughout the roster. And depending on who you give credit for 2019 Ohio state team I’d also strongly make the case that they beat all 3 Michigan teams as well. Like I said Ryan day has been going against much better Michigan teams then urban did but let’s not act like urban didn’t have some ridiculous teams himself

[@armandhammer3782]

Urban couldn't handle the pressure.

[@JayJay-ku8gp]

I agree on 2015 and 2019 challenging Michigan 2021-2022. I think 2023 would be a close game

[@gunpuppy3533]

2014/2019 OSU vs 2023 Mich would be a toss up. But 2023 Mich never would’ve lost to that 2015 Michigan State team.

[@nickma71]

Those Urban Meyer teams easily beat the Kyle McCord led team that went to the wire with Michigan. Not the JT Barrett led years, even though the talent was high. They had a 1 dimensional offense (running only) and it showed with the 0-31 game.

[@kevinchandler179]

The big ten will be decided in Happy Valley when the Buckeyes come to town, fact!!! My Nittany Lions 🦁 are going 11-1 at worst!!!

[@wad9799]

Till Lanning or Franklin beat any top team I can’t put them over Michigan or OSU. Moores a new head coach so I’d have them 2nd. Right now I’d have Ohio State 1st.

[@kevinchandler179]

As a die hard Nittany Lions 🦁 fan, I see 👀 what you are saying, believe me!!! But, just because something hasn't happened, don't mean it won't!!! Remember, everyone in Ann Arbor wanted Harbough gone, and he was by the way 3-3 against Franklin at the time, my Nittany Lions 🦁 have tons of talent and depth, if Franklin would trust his coordinators and stay out of their way, my Nittany Lions 🦁 could possibly get over the hump!!! Just saying, WE ARE

[@bschmid100]

Bro. Did u just indicate that Michigans d line is better than Ohio states?…

[@DeshCanter]

The two problems Ohio State has had, particularly against Michigan, have not been addressed. QB and O-line are still both huge question marks.

[@ScarletGray-o3j]

Your quarterback is Orji. You’re not beating Ohio State this season.

[@DeshCanter]

@@ScarletGray-o3j With all due respect to your psychic abilities, you’ve said the same thing for going on 3 years now. 😳 No one knows who will win. What we do know is that Ryan Day manages to accomplish less with more talent than any other top 10 coach, while Sherrone Moore, already 1-0 against Day, has proven he can get more out of less talent. Add to that the fact that ALL the pressure in this game is on Ryan Day: More talent, bought players, playing at home, etc. The interesting question is what happens if Day loses 4 in a row? Does Chip Kelly become your next head coach? Interesting side bar. Does Sherrone Moore win the Woody Hayes Trophy (as Jim Harbaugh did and Ryan Day hasn’t) if he leads Michigan to another win over Ohio State? Michigan is perfectly set up this year. No one thinks they’ll win anything. They’ll be underdogs in every big game……when you think about it, in that sense, it’s just like last year. lol.

[@kevinchavis8462]

@@DeshCanterOhio State’s oline was good enough to beat Michigan last year, OSU’s qb didn’t make enough plays. Whoever is OSU’s qb will better than whoever Michigan puts out this upcoming season. The last few seasons is not the same as the upcoming season cause of Michigan having a new coaching staff, lost all of those players to the draft and graduation. OSU has more players coming back from a team that almost beat Michigan at their place. Plus OSU’s top 5 recruiting class and quality incoming transfers which adds to an already elite roster. OSU will have a better offense and defense than Michigan. OSU is at home and the oline will be better while Michigan had to replace their oline and hasn’t recruited at a top 10 level, top 10 recruiting is needed to sustain a certain level of success. OSU is in a better position than Michigan and wins the game at home by at least 2 td’s if not more. The pressure will be there but OSU has too much talented experience to fail this upcoming season. Michigan’s defense will still be one of the best but the struggles with their offense will put pressure on the defense to keep them afloat and that will lower the quality of the defense. That’s part of the reason OSU will have a better defense due to more talented experience returning, adding Caleb Downs, Knowles 3rd year with the program, while Michigan lost safety Moore to injury, pressure from at times a struggling offense, and new coaching staff. All of that adds to an OSU win by at least 2 td’s .

[@DeshCanter]

@@kevinchavis8462 A few points of clarification: 1). Your O-line was talented enough last year, but not skilled enough. McCord threw 2 picks because he had happy feet. He had happy feet because your boys couldn’t pass block well enough for him, so his “plan” was to chuck and duck and hope Maserati Marv came up with the play. Didn’t work. 2). “Almost beat” = “Lost.” 3). When you had CJ Stroud, Olave, Wilson, and Smith-Njigba, not to mention Treveon, and we had Cade McNamara, two 4-star WR’s, a 3-star WR, and a 3-star starting RB, how did that work out for you? You lost 42-27…..😮 4). In which of the past 3 seasons has Michigan had more “talent” and better recruiting classes? Regardless, what have been the outcomes? 5). I’ll give you this, regardless of how badly you guys are coached and how much you underachieve, you certainly win the Buckeye pre-season National Championship without fail. 6). If the word “elite” were a drinking game, the entire state of Ohio would die of liver failure.

[@DeshCanter]

@@kevinchavis8462 A few points of clarification: 1). OSU’s O-line was talented enough, but not developed enough and accordingly not skilled enough to beat Michigan last year. Your QB didn’t make plays because he had happy feet all day. He had happy feet because your boys up front couldn’t pass block our superior defense. McCord did what he was trained to do all year, i.e., chuck and duck and hope Maserati Marv could pull out a miraculously catch. You got behind and never led. Michigan scored on every possession of the 2nd half. 2). You’ve had higher ranked recruiting classes and had more 4 and 5-star talent than we have for years; it hasn’t mattered because we develop better and coach better. You’ve been ranked higher and favored in every game of the past 3 years, home and away. In 2021 you had an NFL talent in literally every position group and got beat by a low 4-star QB and a 3-star RB. We have more starting linemen on NFL rosters than any other team and haven’t had a 5-star OL for over a decade. See the pattern? Oh, and you predicted we’d lose every year for the past 3 years too. Doh!!!

[@bschmid100]

So Oregon is a more secure team on offense because of QB, RB, and WR? Dude. Ohio state beats them in 2/3 if not all 3

[@zoam7881]

I would say Oregon is better at QB and OL. WR is probably a push. RB to OSU.

Half of Urbans teams lose to the 2021 team? I think you are forgetting who was on their defenses. Mind you, 2021 OSU was one of the worst defenses in school history. And those OSU OLs that Urban had are NFL starters. We can’t even say the same Jim’s teams.

Look yes I'm a osu fan but I've been thinking about this for months. This team wether you believe in them or hate them or not is too damn talented to not be considered the favorite. If this was Michigan's roster with Harbaugh or Alabama roster or hell even penn states roster I guarantee you people wouldn't bat a eye. But because osu has taken so much heat for literally losing back to back to the national champs. There's this odd perception this team is gonna find a way to screw it up. And maybe they do anything is possible. I don't think osu running through everybody is crazy. I also don't think it's crazy it somehow fumbles and turns into a masterclass of memes. But I think osu running through everybody is far more likely then people want to admit if that offensive line isn't costing us games and Howard isn't throwing game losing interceptions osu is more loaded at every position besides linebacker. That line was bad last year but never once did I sit there at the end of loss and be like yea that was offensive lines fault. it was always qb.
