Michigan Beats Ohio State - Josh Pate Rapid Reaction (Late Kick Cut)

Michigan vs Ohio State was one of the headline games in College Football's week 13, and on Late Kick Live Ep 333 Josh Pate spoke about the dominant fashion with which Jim Harbaugh and the Wolverines once again handled Ryan Day and the Buckeyes. On a day where it seemed the entire table was set for Ohio State, and a game where they even grabbed the early lead, it was Michigan who dominated the second half en route to a resounding 45-23 win punching their ticket to the Big Ten Championship Game in the process. Has Michigan surpassed Ohio State? What answers will Ryan Day need?

[@robertanderson7923]

You totally lost me and I'm sure a large percent of OSU fans. Why? Because for your entire show all you did was praise Michigan while beating up on the Buckeyes. Except for one small platitude toward the end when you did say that Ryan Day was still a good coach and the Buckeyes s good team. But by then you had lost me. At least Joel Klatt had some good things to say about OSU and explained why Michigan was able to win. I didn't heat any of that from you. So take your show and shove it!

Same here, a Michigan fan for over fifty years. I got my love of Michigan from my mother who attended back in the 50’s I attended in the 70’s. I grew up watching the Bo Schembechler era. I thought mid 90’s was Michigan’s golden era and I didn’t think I would see another. I was happy with Jim Harbaugh winning 9-11 games a year. I never expected to see another two year run like last year and this.

I have been a Wolverine fan since 1969, and a MSU fan since 1965 when my sister went to MSU during their back to back National Championships.

[@isiahsanders7288]

The defensive adjustment was made. They started respecting the pass game and took some guys out of the box in the 2nd half. That's when Michigan started going to their run game again. OSU was loading the box all first half, they knew they couldn't stop Michigan's run game without doing it.

[@AlphaDwg]

The funny thing is after they adjusted Michigan started killing them on the ground then they started loading the box again and Michigan just broke through anyway and gashed them.

Despite MI's offensive performance, I think that knock out of the Oh St. ball in the end zone on what was going to be a touchdown catch ended up being perhaps the pivotal play in the second half.

[@Reinification]

Josh made a great point about not able to point to one specific thing that will improve Ohio State. Recruiting, coaching and playmaking are just tangible part of the game. The intangibles like mental toughness, resiliency and desire to win etc is tied to team culture and leadership which takes time and can't be easily fixed. When the competition is at the highest level it really comes down to having an edge in intangibles.

Been a Michigan fan since birth. This is the first video of yours I’ve watched. Nice call last week on the passing game ramping up when we needed it. If someone would’ve told me they’d score 17 points in the first half on 0 yards rushing, I would have simply said “HOW?!” This game marked a turning point for JJ McCarthy in his Michigan career, and it was great to see him looking like the kid we all thought he was coming in. I believe this kid is different and wouldn’t swap him out for any QB in the nation after the BIG GAME ice cold nerves he showed on Saturday. Last year would’ve been forgotten if Michigan lost this game, and the results haven’t fully shown themselves of what beating Osu in their own house by 3 TDs plus, and ending their season two years in a row. All of a sudden Michigan isn’t intimidated, all of a sudden Michigan is the 4th quarter bully, all of a sudden Ohio state has to win on what they have in the present, because the past is no longer an advantage for them. By the way, JJ McCarthy’s performance yesterday was on full display to every 5 star receiver in America and who wouldn’t want that kid passing to them? Beautiful game. Go Blue!

Michigan ran them over the second half. It wasn't just two big runs. Go back and watch the game. They were getting consistent yards on the ground in the second half. In fact they were converting most of their 3rd downs RUNNING the ball. Even if it 6 or 7 yards. Those two long runs were just the knock punches after Michigan was softening them up with body blow after body blow. Second year in a row this has happened. OSU fans can't be cocky anymore when it comes to Michigan. They are punking y'all on the field now.

[@koo-hip9406]

I was going to reference this as well when he brought up the lack of adjustments in this segment. OSU did, in fact, change their defensive scheme after getting burned a couple more times and that's when UM started having success in the run. The last two major runs was just the pipes bursting even when OSU went back to zero defense and were too worn out to maintain gap integrity

I lived through the Cooper years and I would see it on the Buckeyes back then until Tressel showed up.

The Buckeyes kicked Michigans butt in the first half but we’re not efficient. Michigan took advantage of missed tackles, broken coverages to score 10 points with only 10 yards rushing and 4 first downs in the first half. Ohio State had 315 yards of offense and 16 first downs.

And now that it's discovered he's cheating the plot thickens.

[@troybryantIII]

Wth...where have I been. How have I not seen and already subscribed to this channel. Not that I am just trying to consume as much Michigan talk as possible but this was very well crafted.

[@utjoseywales]

Love your insight, it's truly thought out and expressed very well. I don't say this because I'm a HUGE Michigan fan, I'd say it even if we'd have lost this past weekend. BUT WE DIDN'T! Keep up the insightful work Josh.

[@bradbassett1240]

That Michigan 4th down conversion on the opening drive of the second half was the game changer. It happened so quick I had to rewind to make sure I had seen it correctly!

[@ianlally1354]

Subscribed! Outstanding presentation!

[@mgmua]

I like the way you analyze a team . You totally dissect it, and point out its various strengths and weaknesses. I myself have learned a lot more about the analytics of the game listening to U than any other sportscaster in the country. Your football acumen is second to none.💯👍

[@Nebuchadnezzar18]

Great show, great analysis.

[@danielhorstman7097]

Hey, Josh! As usual, your take on The Game is spot on. I am a Buckeye fan that remembers the Woody Hayes years, so I've been around a bit. The reason for the fan base reaction and so many calling for the dismissal of Ryan Day is that the collapse in The Game is startlingly reminiscent to what happened with Coach John Cooper. Cooper recruited at a great level and built some of the most talented Buckeye teams to ever grace the shoe.......and he went 2-10-1 against Michigan......in much the same manner - getting beaten soundly when we were highly ranked and seemingly on our way to a National Championship. I think that Ohio State made a poor decision in hiring day for one reason......he wasn't a successful major college head coach prior to coming to OSU and he is learning on the job. Both Tressel and Meyer - Ohio guys through and through - had head coach experience and understood the rivalry in a way that no outsider ever will. This fact - and I'm sure it seems petty to you - cannot be overstated. Keep up the good work and I never miss a show!

[@SXP22]

I liked Michigan over Ohio State on my show. Michigan is tougher on line than OSU.

[@johnparker5287]

Prophetic. Totally spot on. As a Michigan Alum, never lost faith in Harbaugh and the true glue that holds the team together - real confidence. Our rival's fans should take a look at Michigan sticking with Harbaugh in the lowest and least productive times. Bailing on Ryan Day is simply -- ridiculously simplistic and massively shortsighted.

[@MrGobluebilly]

Great analysis. Amazing year and result Saturday - 13 drives (6 tds, fg, missed fg, stopped on 4th in OSU territory.) 230 yards rushing in second half. 28-3. -3 yards rushing for OSU qb. Best o and d players out. #2 back with a cast. Played #6 back. Replaced 8 starters on defense. Replaced o and d coordinators. And on and on.

[@raymondschlichting6778]

Well done video. I hadn’t considered the mobile QB before you brought it up but you are exactly right!

[@codyhillis4747]

I don't care what kind of chaos happens, with a schedule as weak as OSU's, a blowout loss at home is disqualifying from the CFP. There are 10 teams I'd put in over them after seeing that game.

[@DougieG7130]

Ohio is still a top 5 team, Michigan was just better.

[@RSGillie]

BEST LINE EVER!!! “YOU GOT DRUG!!! Great Commentary… Best I’ve heard since Swami! I’ll be tuning in from now on! Go Blue!!!

[@gabriel-1957]

What a great show! You are great my friend👍🏽

[@nicholastaiariol2631]

The weather was perfect and BJ Stroud didn’t have Monkey Pox this time and Michigan beat you even worse😂😂 what’s the excuse now? Sun got in their eyes?

[@TheMacC117]

BJ Stroud. LOL!

[@millerb32]

Dude that monkey pox joke is hilarious.

[@richardjoseph8683]

It's always some excuse no matter what! 😥

[@scottelliott549]

Oh we saw them on the sidelines Michigan is head strong and I think watching Georgia after the game they saw what it takes .Ohio thinks because they recruit so called more talent the deserved it

[@g-man2228]

New subscriber Josh, really like the show…👊🏻🏈

[@mitchmonteith6468]

My Dawgs and Michigan are similarly built. Wouldn't surprise me if both play in the Natty. I liked them all year long and even thought they looked better than last year.

[@AlphaDwg]

Michigan is just a lesser version of Georgia lol

[@bri0013]

I wouldn't say lesser. They can play Dame as the Dawgs. Just not as deep across the roster.

[@AlphaDwg]

@@bri0013 which makes them a lesser version lol. But if we compare the two. QB- Georgia (JJ has talent but no where near as consistent as Stetson) RB - Michigan WR - Michigan OL - Georgia (but it's close) TE - Georgia DL - Georgia LB - Georgia DB - Georgia The difference between the two is Gorgia's defense is better and Georgia is more efficient on offense.

[@mr.nobody8181]

​@@AlphaDwg but michigan has more heart then georgia and are hungrier 🔥

[@AlphaDwg]

@@mr.nobody8181 not sure how you can tell that but Georgia's A game is the best in the country. When they are dialed in they are dominant. They dominated all of their big games this year. Facing them in the playoffs is going to be a struggle for whoever it is.

[@christopherbrooks1554]

First time seeing this podcast. Josh is absolutely spot-on with his analysis, and is giving voice to the issues I was observing during the game, e.g. no meaningful defensive adjustment at halftime and no mobility by Stroud. How Ryan Day could have said he was satisfied going into the locker room at halftime was beyond me then, as Michigan had already demonstrated two explosive plays that left the Buckeyes flat-footed and out-played. Kudos to Michigan...best thing they ever did was hang on to Harbaugh during the rough years. I wish them well in the CFP. Let's see if Day has the humility to recognize where he failed in his prep and actually learn lessons that can help the Buckeyes going forward.

[@Tron7Thousand]

Excellent presentation... You where Spot on👌✅

[@ichiganade2071]

a game changer shows up when it truly matters! Just like Tom Brady ! Winners win when it matters. JJ as a lot more big games ahead of him to prove it but this win was the first HUGE one of hopefully many!🙌🏽〽️CJ had all the ability, talent and tools surrounded around him to be the best OSU qb all time but just like the whole Program they DONT HAVE HEART! You can't teach it or train it! Those 5 stars you get come woth huge egos that AMPLIFY at OSU. We get those gritty midwest boys out working in the fields and multiple jobs to support their family. Kids woth a backbone and chip on their shoulder. Kids raised waking up at 5 am to shovel the driveways for their parents and elderly neighbors. Kids who are a product of those factory long hour working blue collar folks punching the clock every day. This is Michigan old school midwest ball and it's not leaving for a LONG LOOOONG TIME〽️〽️〽️〽️🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@33bmitchem]

Josh you nailed it when you mentioned the need for QB's to be able to run the ball. Personally, I feel like the difference in the past two years in the UM/OSU game has been the fact that CJ Stroud doesn't pose a big threat to run the ball. In years past the dual threat ability of the OSU QB like Justin Fields, JT Barrett, Terrell Pryor made life for Michigan defensive game planning very difficult. Specifically, against Michigan (as a Michigan fan) I don't fear too many teams that have a pro style pocket passing QB as lately our secondary has been able to hold their own against great WR's. Again, Michigan specifically has historically had issues against mobile QB's..........just look at Stetson Bennett last year.

[@kale6772]

Congrats Michigan! Way to hand "the" Ohio st "THE" big L again, and in the shoe this year no less! See you boys in the playoffs. - Uga fan

[@RWildekrav66]

Could be a Classic !

[@matthatesford]

Good luck! Hope to see yall there and give ya a little more competition this time haha

[@twanwillz7102]

Go blue!!!!

[@boticusb3657]

Thank you for the inside scoop on these events, we just love our players more because we have a special group.

[@bbjj2867]

You can over analyze this game forever. The bottom line is Michigan for the second year in a row was far more physical than Ohio state. That was the difference in the game

[@shineKNEE]

first off... GO BLUE. but what I love about this game was that after the game both teams hugged and gave respect to each other. Need the team down south to continue to be good so we show the US what an actual rivalry looks like.

[@DB-sz6tb]

The insight is great. Just make sure to get the halftime score right when you’re broadcasting lol

[@lauramcvey9686]

So long. Toughen up. Proud Michigan Alum and Michigan Mom

[@carlknepfler8976]

Like you said they 'should' beat everyoen else on their schedule. I agree. So how can you say the coach's job could not be in question. It really means that with his talent he only gets to show his acumen for coaching a couple times a year. And now its two years in a row where the game wasnt close. Now I am a Michigan fan and when harbaugh was having his seat get warm i didnt think it was fair, but it was more because those games were contested, and I did think JH was doing enough with his talent even though we hadnt won against OSU. The punt game against MSU and the spot game in 2016 at the Shoe, the COVID year. But while I think there is a rush to oust a coach it is true that Day has better talent and is getting totally outcoached. When Michigan got blown out in 2018 & 2019 by OSU he got rid of Don Brown. Day needs to show he is willing to change in whatever way necessary and possible.

[@daniellemcintosh3824]

Great Breakdown!

[@NorthPaddle]

Man. You nailed it. Before and after "The Game."

[@frankkluz9787]

Good take Josh ! -- I agree with the idea that a dual threat QB is essential even if not usually utilized. -- Saw that with Devin Brown's tape vs. Quinn Ewers and it jumped out at me. - McCord lacks 'it' compared to Brown also so that might prove interesting ? -- We shall see what Day does now ? - Most people were surprised that it wasn't different but it does prove that "sometimes it does happen" as you said. -- Harbaugh has the advantage next year already. - Maybe a 3 peat is in the works ? I wouldn't be surprised.

[@timbillnitzer8533]

Great breakdown!

[@chriswilliamson7221]

Good stuff Josh. You touched on what it means to be confident. I think you nailed it with Michigan and I think a lot of it has to do with the culture at Michigan. And that’s was one pieces that Jim Harbaugh and his coaching staff gave back to this football program. THE TEAM.

[@williamowen6399]

He's got ya

[@johnstacyii4827]

Michigan has a QB that can run and Osu doesn't times have changed. Troy Smith he killed us along with others too.

[@CutFromADifferentCloth]

Well said, There are teams capable of doing things they just haven't done. I've been thinking this the Whole year about Michigan's Offense and they finally did it when they needed it to happen the most!
