Guess the Score - osu Edition

I think it will be similar to the last 2 years where Michigan will have a lead for a large chunk of the game but Ohio State will remain uncomfortably close until the end.  OSU puts some pressure on the defense early on but UM adjusts.  McCord throws a huge INT late to Mikey with OSU driving to seal it for UM.

Michigan 31

Ohio 20

Go Blue!

35-24 Michigan. I think Rolder is going to be a surprise dude on D and on Offense I think Corum is gonna be an absolute beast. Look for Barner and Loveland to be very involved as well. 

OSU - 69

Michigan - 420

My shadow says Forty Six & 2 Meeechigan

Michigan 38 - Ohio State 21

Michigan 37

OSU 10

I’m going to guess a different score than I did in the other thread, that way I can point to the one that is more accurate. 28-24 and Michigan scores 21 unanswered to win it.

Michigan 26 - 24 Ohio State 

Michigan 31, Ohio State 20

I told my wife earlier today before reading any of these scores Michigan 31 OSU 19

48 - 19 Meechigan!

The trend of blue +3 and gray -4 continues for the second straight year.

Team 144 waits for Harbaugh to arrive in the locker room before singing The Victors after which Jim inks a $144mm contract: 12 years (one for each '23 win), $12mm a year ($1mm per regular season game).

I don't feel great without Harbaugh, but I have to go with Michigan 27 Ohio State 24.

M 20 OSU 17. We'll have trouble moving consistently against a very good defense that probably won't play kamikaze like they did last year. But I think our DL will mostly get the better of their OL, which will limit the damage Harrison can do.

MICH 35

OSU 24

Head says...

MICH 40

OSU 20

24-13 Michigan. Low scoring, defensive battle. Game looks ugly unless you are a fan of defense. 

34-7

UM runs a ton of misdirection in the run game. Jet sweeps, screens, DE slants plays to break tendency.

This opens up the offense to ground and pound with Blake and Mullings and UM to run a bunch of deep outs to TEs and receivers for JJ.

OSU struggles at to run the ball and McCord is not ready for the moment on the road against UM’s D-line.  

30-24 OSU

26-23

Pain, road grading pain.  
M more rushing yards. 
M more points.
M covers spread

If Harbaugh was coaching, I think this is a Michigan blowout

Alas, given current circumstances, I think this game is uncomfortably close and tense throughout. In fact I think it goes into overtime. Michigan wins by a whisker, 27-24.

America’s Team 36

Whiners 17

Michigan 32-30 4OT. We all die from stress before the game ends. Ryan Day is forced to commit seppuku

34-17

37-20 M

48-19 Michigan 

I think if Michigan is going to win, it’ll be a much lower scoring game. UM 24, OSU 17

I can’t predict who actually wins, because yes, I am scared I will jinx it.

35-31. I don’t know who wins, but 35-31. We more or less get the JJ we saw the majority of the season, but Henderson is a problem, MHJ will make his hay whether we like it or not, and I am concerned about whoever is lined up opposite Wallace, whether it is Egbuka or Stover. 

That said, Blake is healthy. The Don is healthy. The Big House is going to be a deafening snake pit. If Harbaugh was on the sideline I’d feel comfortable picking Michigan. There is still a path for Michigan to win this going away, but he won’t be there, and I’m afraid that makes a tangible difference we all don’t want to acknowledge.

This is shaping up to be the biggest matchup in the rivalry’s history. These kinds of legacy defining matchups have tended to find their way to being in Columbus in the last two decades, but thank whatever god is out there that this is in Ann Arbor.
