Situational coaching is the #1 lesson coaches learn in the NFL. Urban knows his to run his system and win with superior talent. JH knows how to adjust his system and win with superior scheming. Should be good. Go Blue!

2-3 plays and a bad call are all that's keeping Michigan from taking the lead.

Rudock keeping Michigan in the game again. Need a big second half.

They probably should've not tried to block it.

We could have used a lot of turnovers this year. I can't believe the lack of TOs over the last couple of years.

And I don't hate the blocked punt call. Harbaugh is trying to win and that would have been huge. Let's stop questioning the coaching staff as they are up to snuff.

Being up a touchdown would be huge. That was a 14 point swing Michigan could have easily avoided.

Agreed, we also would have either had Amazing field position or scored a ST play if we had spent more on setting up the return

You can win in a lot of ways like controlling field position which we did. You don't need desperation plays in the first quarter when you have them pinned in their end zone. Statistically that's a poor decision period. Gotta play hard AND smart.

Ohio isn't beating us by long drives. Limit the chunk plays, force em to string long drives together and we can win it.

This must be said: please please please stop the defeatist whining that seems to occurs here in spades when anything happens that's good for Ohio State or when we have a play that doesn't result in a first down.

It's such a turn off. And only becoming of fair weather bandwagon fans.

is not defeatist. OSU is running the ball extremely well right now. That is a significant concern. Michigan has to at last slow it to win the game.

It's a good thing OSU only had a minute or so for their last possesion. That zone read crap was giving them a guaranteed 5yd/play between the hashes.

With all the deficiencies we have in this team, we are still only down 4 at the half. We are 9-2. We have a great future. Just the improvement on QB, WR and DL is worth waiting. We are going to be really good next year.

But, win this game and make our day. We need some goddamn lucky breaks. We haven't had much this year.

If we bring the safeties up and force OSU to beat us throwing the ball. If Michigan keeps the same defense out there they ran in the 1st half they will lose. Let's go, stack the box and make them do something they are not capable of.

I never thought I'd say this a month ago, but I have more confidence in the offense putting up points in the second half than I do the defense coming up with big stops.

With the exception of Elliot's (predictable) long run, we have for the most part. JT had one kind of big run, too.

I haven't felt so strongly that this team is talented enough to win this Game since 2006. I really do want all the "the refs suck", "game over" people to go get their own thread though. It's like you people have never watched 60 minutes of football in your life.

Go Blue!
