Ohio State v Michigan

[adselder09]

What gives you the idea that they miss Harbaugh more than they miss Connor Stalions ?

The 3 games without both men look pretty much like the Wolver-weasel games 3 years ago, before Stalions was hired and Harbaugh didn't have his calls

Because I don't think the sign stealing thing gave them as big an advantage as everyone on here believes it did.

Ohio State outgaining them 193-119. Come out get a stop to start the second half and take the game over. No more turnovers.

I will personally rent a U-Haul for him to clean out his office at the Woody.

For comparison sake:
2022 in Cbus at half: we were up 20-17, lost
2021 in AA: scUM was up 14-13, won

So, in summary, who knows, and God help us all in the 2nd half

Halftime stats:

Losing the physicality battle again. Have to keep UM from those 3rd and 4th and shorts where they can impose their will.

OSU looks like a team that spends a lot of their time at practice on Xs and Os and not enough time on the little things. OSU has more talent than UM and it does not show.

Henderson has all of the tools that Zeke Elliott had but is missing the heart. Tough to watch knowing how good he could be.

Someone will have to step up and make a play in the 2nd half.

BS OSU has 37 yds. rushing TTUN has 34. If OSU holds TTUN to 34 yds. rushing in the 2nd half I like the Buckeyes chances. Did Henderson not come back in the game, I think he will break a long run before the game is over (maybe wishful thinking on my part).

 

[OldSoulon]

That was more of a catch than the Michigan TD

Buckeyes getting screwed on most judgment calls

Win or lose, 2nd half will be on McCord, Marv and Stover. If you score regularly, scUM not going to keep up with that.

Also, time for a Hayden sighting?

He came back and got barbecued by Sanistril.

 

[nwwarrior09]

Physicality wise I think they are fine. To be determined if they get crunched in the second half like the last two years.

Michigan is struggling to run the ball effectively with Corum and Edwards. I'm not sure JJ can win it with his arm. Their OL can't pass block Ohio State's DL straight up.

Held onto the ball.

Held onto the ball.

He's got that going for him. lol

 

[KingKong24]

I don’t think I’ve put it on Yappi but I’ve been telling a couple buddies 31-17 Ohio State all week. Now that means outscoring them 21-3 in the second half. Not out of the realm of possibility but need to step it up the second half.

 

[irish_buffalo]

I will say this, everything went right for UM in the first half. The TD and amazing pitch and catch down the sideline and what? Three 4th and 1 gets?

OSU needs to start the half with a TO or 3 and out. Can't allow UM to eat up clock and play field position all game.

 

[Wildcat97]

3Q really decided this one last 2 years....think same will be true today

 

[Wildcat97]

Not a great start.....pushing off 3q ptsd from last 2 years

 

[Yappi]

That was definitely not a catch.

 

[Wildcat97]

Not a catch. Refs have not been good

 

[Thavoice]

Let's.
Go.
Blue.

 

[Spille]

How do you even call that a catch? Unreal.

MLB misses the TE first play for 21. Q counter second play. OSU is simply not nasty and physical on D. Talented yes, coached up physical, no.

 

[Omega]

17-10 Micigan. 50+ yd fg

Probably shouldn't have held out a healthy enough to play MLB the last few weeks. Timing and rhythm get rusty when you don't play.

And the ref is right there nobody blocking him. Bad calls before reviews in this one

 

[Spartacus1987]

And still were in position to win if they could execute a kick against the national champs who obliterated their title game opponent.

Still lost last I checked.

 

[Wildcat97]

17-10 Micigan. 50+ yd fg

Just 50, no + needed

 

[Spartacus1987]

Michigan doesn’t have the top end talent that OSU has but they don’t have the same severe weaknesses that OSU has either. IE linebackers and the kicking/punting game. Much more complete team with better coaching

That would earn them a 1/1/24 rolling before the probation comes

Big difference in kicking and punting.
