Herbstreit strongly favors Michigan over Ohio State in a week and a half.

Of course that's what we all want. I think given the last three years, Michigan will leave nothing to chance, and will crush OSU. And yet, with the BPONE, I'll believe it when I see it.

He's right.

OSU's defense has been suffering from 2-DC disease this entire season - they are unorganized, unprepared, and fundamentally underwhelming.  That won't get fixed in less than a week, and don't let any 'good' performance at MSU or MD (Saturday) fool you.  This defense has given up points and yards to the same teams we've been annihilating all year. They're also limited offensively - that run game is abysmal without the power of Barrett.  And when Haskins is not comfy and cozy in the pocket, he's miserable.  Make him miserable and that offense falls on its face.  Ask Purdue, Minnesota, and PSU...

On top of that, Harbaugh has his team ready for blood.  You think they'll leave anything to chance?  No way.  They are going to soundly and fundamentally beat the living shit out of OSU.  They'll put OSU's collective defensive head on a swivel - they won't know which way any play is going.

This is going to be 2015 - in our favor, this time...

well I like this take!  Look forward to Haskins feeling a lot less comfy and cozy in the pocket against Don Brown's crew.   We should be able to force some pickable throws.

When OSU gets in scoring distance they'll break out the backup QB/run plan.

Agree with many points made here including never forget previous misreporting.  Not taking anything in the game for granted or Indiana game for granted.  If someone speaks the truth once in a while it does not make him a truth teller.   That said, I have a feeling its happening.

If you honestly think this team is going to blow out OSU, you're delusional.  I can't even remember the last time we blew out OSU.  We're going to play a close game and lose in a heartbreaker like we always do.
