if we don't win, wound them enough that they don't beat Wisconsin, and don't make the playoff.
And I know it looks difficult...but man, I want THIS game.

Doubt the seat ever gets hot, but it will warm up a tad bit if OSU blows our doors off and we lose @ND to start 2018.
I can only imagine the Freep headline "Harbaugh 1-6 Against Rivals!"

November 19th, 2017 at 5:59 PM ^
until we lose to OSU at home in 2019, then I would say the seat will get warm but never hot for as long as Harbaugh stays.

Are you going to want Harbaugh fired if Peters can't play?
Fucking trolls.

So bottom line is he's still probably got a concussion, but maybe not something more serious. Just speculation , but is be very surprised if Peters was cleared to play for OSU. The good news is if it's just a concussion, he could probably play for a good percentage of bowl practices and maybe play the bowl game. Far better than a broken collar bone or something that'd knock him out of bowl practice or spring practice.
November 19th, 2017 at 9:30 PM ^
I don't believe that CT scans can definitively tell you a person had a concussion. Definately show brain bleeds and swelling.
I would love to see Harbaugh tell everyone that Peter's is out for the game. Keep the press out of practice. And if Peter's was good to go at the beginning of the week, he has the whole week of practice under his belt. Start that kid. Go Fucking Blue!!

screw these doubles anyway. It isn't baseball season.
November 19th, 2017 at 10:26 PM ^
,,,can be a very effective pattern to beat a lot of coverages, including the blitz.
The QB is usually expected to read this inside-out.

Does anyone think there is a chance Speight will be cleared to play ? Underderstand he probably is not in football shape, and don't pretend to understand the health risks involved. Even if he could give us a quarter or two, might be quite helpful.

Regardless of the RS, I can not imagine Harbaugh throwing a Freshman QB into the lion's den like that. Assuming Peters is unavailable, I would expect this week it's 1. O'Korn; 2 Speight (if he can go); 3 Malzone.
I could also see a scenario where they put Speight or Peters in for the first few series, handing off or max protecting, just to throw Ohio State off, and take some of the pressure off of O'Korn.
Unless Peters or Speight is healthier than they seem, Malzone will get some snaps with the 1's this week.

to see that - Having said that - this team lacks fundamentals - lack of development in certain areas - good coaching is not always evident - poor/conservative play calling
Sad to say - JH is the right coach - just not happening - 2016 was the epic fail - Had UM won against OSU and Iowa and made the CFP - 2017 as a semi reloading year would have been more tolerable - well - that didn't happen - Meyer owned Harbaugh in CBus - JH choked in Iowa and the rest is known
Go Blue - Hoping for the miracle win - just don't see it at this point

OSU will have no particular motivation (besides it being The Game and all). In other words, it's all lined up for us:
- home field advantage
- OSU already locked into championship game
- OSU has beaten us too many times in a row
- UM season just a few plays short of being really good - leads to chip on shoulder?
etc.
We've got all the little things lined up for a flat OSU performance and a great UM performance - so, can it happen?
I realize what a ridiculous fan I am when I am thinking: it might! But that's fandom.

Not going to lie. I really wish Michigan could build some of that Miami (YTM) swagger.
Those guys come out to play and are looking like they got their old school mojo back under Richt.

Watching the Fox Playoff show and they all had OSU in if they win the next 2 games we have to stop this from happening both of their losses have been bad I guess that doesn't matter if you are OSU
November 19th, 2017 at 9:34 PM ^
With all these advantages...sounds like we will break JT's leg again..that would be an advantage. I don't believe in the egregiousness of doing it on purpose, but if it happened..
November 19th, 2017 at 5:36 PM ^
They aren't going to win this game.
November 19th, 2017 at 5:37 PM ^
I dont expect a win. I simply dont want us to get blown out. Is that too much to ask?
November 19th, 2017 at 6:11 PM ^
Is there really a difference? A loss to o$u is a loss to o$u no matter what the margin is.

I'm so sick of waiting every year just to get sodomized by the Buckeyes. God I hope the next decade is better than the last.

One way or the other if Michigan cannot throw on first down successfully they will struggle running the ball and keeping Ohio State honest. Last years game plan specifically protected Speight with three step drops and quick throws and Michigan was in rhythm. Everything you do in a game like this must be off schedule and breaking tendency.
I think Michigan has a snowflakes chance in hell to win this game but it will take bad JT Barrett and a complacent defensive game plan for Michigan to keep the game close.
November 19th, 2017 at 8:14 PM ^
is the best DL Michigan will face all year. They have 5-7 legit NFL players on one line. Michigan OL isn't all that good in pass pro so that's basically weakness vs. strength. Throw in JOK's inability to keep calm under pressure, you have a recipe for a disaster.

Was told last night that Brandon Peters was indeed knocked out on the field, but CT scan was clear. Was alert w/ a headache, flew home w/ the team.
