I remember the 1993 game. Michigan had an up and down year and Ohio came in highly ranked and set to annihilate Michigan according to pundits. Michigan won 28-0! Our defense is playing much better and so is the OL. Davis Warren is throwing the ball with authority and Kalel and Donovan are Seniors with much experience in this game. Go Blue Beat Ohio!!

[@robschaller9061]

Uhmmm if you all wanna call a 5-4 record "up and down" we got different opionions of what up and down is. 1993 was a home game for you clowns. This team is light years better than the 1993 team and really.... bro trying to hang your hat on a home win that was 31 years ago?????? Ohio State is going to run all over this TCUN woman. They are going to send the house at your QB much like they did with IU and they will take everything away from the dump passes and screens.... You will finish this game with under 100 yards total offense OSU 56 Cheaters 7

Michigan has nothing to lose. Just play aggressive, play smart.

[@Joeyjojoshabbadoo]

They really have nothing to gain either. tOSU has plenty to lose. If you guys had lost to NW and were fighting for bowl eligibility, then you'd also have something to play for. But of course, this is 'the game', and I don't think motivation is a big concern for either team. If anything, maybe tOSU might be a little tight. But they also want to avenge last season's loss.

You are my go to source for Meechigan football. It started last year with how accurate you were with the Conor Stallions stuff. And now with the recruiting updates. Keep doing what you are doing, great work. Go Blue!!

[@llongone2]

It`s going to take an alignment of the stars to get the win....low scoring (both teams under 25 points), Will Howard getting sacked and pressured constantly, Michigan's run game being more productive that OSUx, winning the turnover margin by (at least) 2, Ryan Day panicking (again) and making questionable calls late in the game, AND hot-headed OSUx players taking dumb penalties over and over.

I think there is a chance Moore has to be aggressive in order to pull off a upset, if Moore comes out playing game manager style ball we will get blown out, there is nothing to lose mix it up with trickery and time of possession , other than that MICHIGAN WON the NATIONAL championship 🏆 look forward to next season with Bryce Underwood future looks great GO Blue

The funny thing about the Indiana vs Ohio game was Indiana was trying to stay clean because they're perfect record. This is not a Indiana versus Ohio State when it comes to a 6 and 5 Michigan team that is out there to prove their self. The worst thing OSU could do in this game is come out thinking they're going to hang "100" on Michigan. The wolverines have absolutely nothing left to prove or play for besides for beating Ohio State and I have a feeling there's going to be a lot of ground and pound in this game.

[@victorspurioii2212]

Sorry to hear about Sarah

[@lostinthesauce8855]

I think the deciding factor is going to be Will Howard’s legs. If the defense allows him to step up in the pocket and or escape the pocket and run it’s gonna be a long day..

[@SR-hf3hx]

He isn't Gabriel, Stewart and Kenny G will run him down

[@JoshuaMollette]

​@SR-hf3hx Dillon Gabriel was the most frustrating qb to play since Adrian Martinez. We almost sacked him probably 10 different times and jjust couldn't get a hold of him

As a Buckeye fan i can agree with a good amount of what your saying. Ofcourse Xichigan has a chance to win , it's the rivalry game. I think the biggest difference between this game and the Bama Oklahoma game is that Bama lives and dies by how milroe plays. If he can't run the ball and is forced to stay in the pocket and throw it gets dicey. I think Ohio State just has to way to many options offensively to be locked down like Bama was vs Oklahoma.

Davis Warren has to make good decisions and not miss wide open recievers, the Oline has to open holes for the run game and the Dline has make Howard run for his life(this one is likely to happen) and they need a few turnovers. They do this and they can not get blown out and maybe steal one if Ryan Day shits his pants again.

[@shanejohnson41]

Zero path with a walk on QB. Let’s not even try to kid ourselves.

[@MichaelWilson-gi3gp]

3 TD underdogs that’s pretty sad for are program

[@Hassler247]

I think the realistic path will be UM DLINE being able to disrupt the OSU OLINE to make them feel uncomfortable all game long. It’s the only match up that I think UM is better than OSU at and needs to be exploited. Gotta cause a couple turnovers at least I would say. And then after that obviously UM needs to find a way to score and move the ball down the field with few mistakes and control the clock. They put together a complete game which I’ve barely seen happen all year so need a lot to happen right. If it’s still close halfway through the third quarter going into the 4th than we have an excellent chance cause that pressure I gonna get the best of OSU

[@clarencewalder2985]

[@toddeckel2653]

Recruiting looks great, but any concern that some of these players could leave the program if a post season band eventually gets imposed by a VERY SLOW moving NCAA?... NCAA just granted a 30 day extention to their "Notice Of Allegation" they sent Michigan 3 months ago, so couldn't a ruling be drawn out with nothing totally resolved for several MONTHS?... Then eventually, kids may choose to leave the program if they are unable to play in the post season for example?... Thoughts on that being a possibility because my guess is, won't be able to keep EVERY kid if it is determined there will be zero post season for a couple years?... 🤔 ...then how much $$$ was spent on NIL?... How much $$$ do kids have to give back?... Concerned this could get messy?...
