Sometimes a team with the best talent can't handle the pressure. That's what happened in 1969 when OSU came into Michigan with a winning streak going back to the entire previous year, including a 50-14 domination of Michigan in '68. It was Schembechler's first year at Michigan after coaching at Miami of Ohio. The Buckeyes had almost everybody back from their National Championship team and were a 17 point favorite to beat Michigan to claim back-to-back national championships. Michigan dominated the first half, leading 24-12. The second half saw both teams scoreless, with OSU giving up 6 interceptions by two quarterbacks.

[@rosshalford7932]

Minimum of 17 players off this roster will be drafted into the NFL next year. There's at least 25 future NFL draft picks from the defensive side of the ball. And what's crazy is the best player on the team is a true freshman WR named Jeremiah Smith

[@Frank313Archie]

Bet money they won’t have 17 drafted next year?

[@rosshalford7932]

@@Frank313Archie Sure. Who do you disagree with on my list that you think won't get drafted?

[@rosshalford7932]

@@Frank313Archie Check any draft database for next year: Defense-Sawyer, Tuimoloau, Hamilton, Williams, Simon, Burke, Hancock, Igbinonsun, Ransom. Not including Styles although he if he declares he'll be drafted high. Offense-Howard, Judkins, Henderson, Egbuka, Jackson, Simmons, McLaughlin, Fryar. No TE for now.

[@Frank313Archie]

@@rosshalford7932 lol chambers was better than Simon and he didn’t even get drafted but ok. You probably thought Ronnie Hickman was going to get drafted too. At least one or two of those players won’t get drafted and a couple more may come back. Michigan was projected to have around that number last year but some players didn’t get drafted and several more that would’ve got drafted came back. I would definitely bet the under.

[@rosshalford7932]

@@Frank313Archie Cody and Steele don't even play the same position and I disagree on Steele being better, he was a converted RB playing LB. Cody was part time starter with Eichenberg who did get drafted. There's also players that can leave early with a big year like Sonny Styles or CJ Hicks-they would get drafted on athleticism and potential alone. There's literally nobody I listed that isn't a lock to be drafted barring injury

[@jasonwinn3551]

OSU wins the off-season every year, always favored, gets stomped at the end of November. Day should get a job somewhere he can coach against Don Brown again.

[@Mr8031995]

Ohio State has “40 running backs”? We literally have 4 on scholarship including 2 true freshman

[@MarcSmolinski-wg6ko]

Regarding Les Miles (aka Mad Hatter) When calculating a coaches number of victories for the purposes of official calculation such as winning percentage, are vacated games included in the calculation?

[@bless5107]

Bama 2020?? … the Covid year??? … too many discrepancies to list. But why not 2014 Bama? 😂

[@Frank313Archie]

No Ross dellenger Michigan probably rolls right through Bama “if” they play a clean game but, hey if if’s and buts were candy and nuts we all would have a merry Christmas. Michigan defense was generational so they would be ready and prepared whoever was at quarterback. Respect!

[@NattyTime517]

Lets revisit michigan 2014-2020 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@freeclimb5487]

Lmao, it's going to be glorious when ohio falls flat on its face. They are not better than the CJ Stroud teams. They are downgraded at QB, downgraded at WR, and they haven't addressed their offensive line issues. They have zero culture, and cryin ryan is an overrated soft coach that can handle pressure. As for Caleb Downs, good pass defender but sucks against the run. Check his pff run defense grade.... day, per usual, is bringing a Ferrari to a dirt track.... smh.

[@NattyTime517]

You sure about that🙄
