Ohio State’s offense clicking as Peppers, Michigan arrive

So Michigan finds itself in a bind. But much like the Wolverines, Meyer admitted that he’s been scheming for Saturday’s game for a while now.

MI students now occupying Markley Hall chose to get together and give the middle finger to Ohio State, as the Wolverines prepare for a tough game against the Buckeyes.

So no matter what, Michigan’s going to have to run.

It’s going to be a busy Saturday in Columbus for all involved for ESPN/ABC.

The Cowboys have two losses but one was against Central Michigan and it came on a last-play touchdown that was set up be an officiating error.

The Ohio State-Michigan game is big enough by itself to be considered one of the greatest rivalries in college football. The Wolverines offense is brilliant on the whole, but when it becomes one-dimensional, things get dark.

That’s what this game is about, both this year and beyond. The Wolverines would move on the Big Ten championship game by beating the Buckeyes. Another issue is penalties, with the Spartans pulling in the most penalties of any Big 10 team this year, with over 700 yards in penalties and an average of 63.7 yards per game.

Consider his passing numbers: 63.4 percent completion percentage on 314 passes in 2016, good for 24 touchdowns and a mere four interceptions. “Their five years, they ought to get together and write a book, because they’ve seen a lot in a short period of time and have overcome adversity and stuck together”. Everyone who plays on the back end is a top-flight athlete. The line protects well.

Would you expect anything else from a University of MI alum? Meyer doesn’t expect any personnel changes this week on the offensive line, which gave up two sacks at the end of the game that stopped Ohio State’s final drive. Harbaugh is the biggest personality to hit this rivalry since Ohio State legend Woody Hayes.

Fellow senior, wide receiver Corey Smith also did not travel to East Lansing after being limited for much of the season with a wrist injury.

But Ohio State boarded its bus with a 10th win and its playoff hopes intact.

“It’s pretty cool to see two guys from the same town make it to be captains on their teams – especially in a rivalry like this”. They stuff carries at the line about 30 percent of the time, the best mark in the country.

“There’s a mutual respect (between Ohio State and Michigan) and I learned it from those two – two of the greatest coaches of all time”, he said.

Business to take care of: Before we get too carried away with the postseason possibilities, however, the Lions still have some regular-season business to take care of. Those aren’t frightful figures, but they’re not Alabaman, either.

Ohio State’s starting center was a back-up at right guard to Marcus Hall when OSU played at MI in 2013.

Regardless of the outcome, the Big Ten has shown to be the most improved and impressive major conference in college football, with Ohio State and MI being in the top five.

“As a freshman, I never thought that I’d be sitting here talking to you guys about what lies ahead”, Schwan said. I know it was a snow-covered field in less-than desirable conditions in Michigan’s victory over in, but 7/16 for 59 yards just isn’t going to cut it. Smith is a senior, Evans a freshman, and MI has the best sense of its own personnel.
