Well, here we are again. Two programs 11-0 meeting in cold and maybe snowy Ann Arbor in the middle of a holiday weekend. One team was ranked #1 by the CFP a few weeks ago and another has had more off field drama than a day time soap opera. Time to take a quick glance at the Buckeyes:
#2 OSU
Record: 11-0
Best win: #12 Penn State at home
Worst Loss: None
Pass: 283.7 Per game (24th)
Run: 145.5 (86th)
Score: 33.6 (24th)
Give Up: 9.3 (2nd)
We know that OSU always has elite WR's and this year is no exception with maybe the best WR in the country in Marvin Harrison, Jr., son on the NFL Hall of Famer. OSU, like Michigan's run game, doesn't jump off the statistics page but whoever runs the ball more effectively will have a leg up in this match-up. Marvin can take control of this game and it will be Michigan's priority to make sure that doesn't happen.
Line: Michigan -4
What a strange weekend for Safeties and the Wolverines. Michigan's defense/special teams scored 2 against Maryland in a blocked punt and a grounding penalty. Then Hutch strips Bears QB Justin Fields to secure the Lions win on Saturday.
- Blake Corum continued his tradition of handing out turkey's in Ypsi on Sunday. A true Michigan Man!
- Injuries are always a concern before the OSU game. Michigan will need to heal up quickly this week, while preparing for battle and enjoying some Turkey.
- Schoonmaker got a TD for the Cowboys on Sunday.
- All of us were expecting some uneven efforts on the court from Michigan Basketball this season. We got one on Friday night.
- Loved that some of the Michigan Fans stormed the field at Maryland to celebrate 1000 victories.
- Here is a fun fact - Did you know back in 1890 one of Michigan's wins was over Ann Arbor High, now known as Ann Arbor Pioneer? Many college programs during that time had to schedule high schools to fill out a schedule. Hat tip to John U. Bacon for that nugget!
- There are starting to be rumors that Kirk Ferentz might be retiring after the season.
