FoxSports' Cohen: "Michigan erases all doubt who rules the Big Ten: 'We proved ourselves right'"
S/o to Michael Cohen, who has been my favorite non-mgoblog writer since the beginning of The Wild Stalyns Affair. His latest:
An excerpt, but it's a quick read and glorious. 👏 to you Mr. Cohen
"Definitely not," Wilson said when asked if the Buckeyes played with more physicality on Saturday than they did in 2022. "I told the receivers this whole week, like, you’ve got guys back there [on Ohio State’s defense] who want to put on the Louis V, the $1,000 outfit and you want to act hard. But when we’re out there, you’re not hard. I see the film. You’re not tough."
Wilson's comment was a final twist of the knife from the sport's most polarizing team. Something else for Ohio State to ponder long after the Wolverines had waved goodbye.

More good comments. Jake is going to be a fine addition to the team...

At the end of the day - the great equalizer in football is who wins the line of scrimmage. You win the LOS and don't turn the ball over, you will win the game way more times than not; despite all the hubris,
Michigan seems to understand that, and OSU can't be convinced. All the star wide receivers and quarterbacks are for naught if you can't run the ball or stop the run better than your opponent.
Michigan proved it again today.

I started out today thinking I would cheer for Florida to pull the upset, but (1) I think FSU might be a potential easy match up and (2) I don't want OSU sneaking in again.
November 25th, 2023 at 11:04 PM ^
I'd be good with either Washington or FSU tbh
November 26th, 2023 at 2:39 AM ^
Yeah, rooting hard for Washington over Oregon.
November 26th, 2023 at 8:45 PM ^
Yeah. Their defense seems to be a week point.
November 25th, 2023 at 10:16 PM ^
I think what perplexes me the most about Ohio State fans is their inability to understand their hypocrisy:
Your entire program is built on cheating. You cheated endlessly with your recruitment of players. It got caught once, it doesn't erase 20 years of cheating to get to the point where you are at today. So how on earth can you claim that Michigan dominating you the past three years is somehow illegitimate based on one guy maybe breaking a rule that you didn't even know was breaking a rule?
November 26th, 2023 at 12:26 AM ^
Because it's all they have.

That last interception play shows all we need to know about this team. McCord was seeing pressure in his face and had to get rid of it quickly. Not a lot of QBs can stand there and take the pounding while delivering an accurate throw. Games are won in the trenches and Michigan showed who is the BOSS.
November 25th, 2023 at 10:44 PM ^
It did not seem like they had a lot of success pressuring the QB today, at least with sacks and scrambles. Yet they kept coming, so it was cool that the game winning play was caused by that relentless pressure.
November 25th, 2023 at 11:06 PM ^
I think that was more a function of OSU trying to get the ball out of McCord's hands as quickly as possible with a lot of quick, short passes.

Eat your " L " buckeye.
November 25th, 2023 at 10:24 PM ^
Indeed. Most satisfactory.
November 25th, 2023 at 10:30 PM ^
I have a $100,000 dollar idea. Brian does a podcast; all feelings ball after the game.
November 25th, 2023 at 11:18 PM ^
He has far too many buckeye X accounts to correspond with, post victory, according to the preview. I just wish we could've gotten at him first. I'd pay to listen to that.
November 25th, 2023 at 10:43 PM ^
I love this team

You can see McCord pee himself before this throwaway https://twitter.com/JDue51/status/1728768149254791265
