Kudos to Michigan for their great road win at Penn State. Great coaching, great play calling, great execution when needed. Not perfect, mistakes made, but every unit of The Team stepped up when called upon.  An example of what it means to play as a Team.

 

On the other hand, what we saw in Columbus was not two great teams dueling it out for Big Ten supremacy. What we saw was a good team with good coaching and a good game plan dominate a gaggle of very talented geese that have not yet learned how to fly in formation. That's all about coaching.  Ohio State's performance on Saturday at all levels...on the field, on the sidelines, and apparently in the locker room was a mess and a disgrace to the conference, their University, their fans, and to the great rivalry that will be played out next week in Ann Arbor.

 

The two best teams in the Big Ten right now without question are Iowa and Michigan. Unfortunately, thanks to Ohio State's disgraceful  performance on Saturday, it is unlikely we will see that match up played out in the Big Ten championship game. Never count on a Buckeye...lesson learned. 

 

We will give Ohio State the beat down they so richly deserve and show them that football is a Team sport, not just a bunch of talented athletes that have not been properly coached into a cohesive unit.

 

Oh...and by the way.  I wonder what recruits deciding between Blue and Scarlet are thinking now.  And what will they think after next Saturday?

 

Go Blue! Crush the Nuts!
