Wolves 20 -- Bucks 16

 

We need this win in many ways, but how about winning one for the 1973 team.  One of Bo's best, but the game finished up 10-10 when Mike Lantry missed a 44 yarder that would have proably given us the game.  We were there finishing off our bottles of wine and smoking a victory cigarette, even with a tie, we were sure that the Rose Bowl was going our way. 10-0-1 was not good enough for the Rose Bowl.  They said since Franklin broke his collarbone, we would not be good enough to represent the BIg 10.  MSU & other enemies voted for OSU to go.    Wayne Duke, and the rest favored the Buckeyes that day.

We might again have the QB with a broken collarbone, but this time we will prevail.  K Allen will make a couple field goals, and maybe our QB with broklen bones will rise off the bench and propel us to victory.  

 

Go Blue!

Obviously want Michigan to win. Just not confident the last couple games are a good indicator of this team progressing vs. regressing. Even with Speight (who admitted to being rattled in Iowa), not feeling too confident. Hope the seniors play lights out and show the right type of leadership, but I'm skeptical. Good thing I'm a nobody and have no relevance on the outcome of the game.

OSU has had letdown games, MSU and PSU for sure.  But those were road games and we also lost on the road....@ IA....(aside...suddenly Iowa can play football again...same with MSU...weird)

...so...its going to be a road game for us.  

That said I had a mind flash tonight OSU was going to give up 3 turnovers and aint no way they comin' back from that differential.

But our OL will cost us the game. I have two predictions, OSU 27- Michigan 24 with Wilton. Wiltonless OSU 42 - Micigan 13. And the worse thing about it, if we lose the two teams we beat WI and PSU may get bigger bowl games than us. I just hope some how a big play goes our way and we can win.

Might have been, imagine for a second that the seven years before Harbaugh got here never happened and we went from Lloyd's last year to last year. Would still think we don't have a chance??? I think the pre-Harbaugh years have colored many people's beliefs in this team and program. OSU struggles with non-spread teams and they have not seen a defense like ours. Not only can we win this, we Will win this one.

Michigan - 24
OSU - 21

I don't have any proof or reasoning for this. I just hope this is because Michigan ought to want this more than them. They've beaten us 11 of the last 12 times, and as coy as Harbaugh plays this rivalry, you can't tell me this isn't what he lives and breathes for. Beating OSU. Sometimes the intangibles are all you need in a game of this magnitude.

OSU looks at us and sees a tune up for the playoffs. We look at OSU and see an exorcising of demons. A hurdle towards greatness. The intangibles matter just as much as the tangibles. If Michigan plays the intangibles just right, it could be all we need to pull off the upset.

Beating good teams on the road is tough enough to begin with; trying to do it with an injured starting QB with no effective backups doubles the difficulty.

Ridiculously hard game to call, considering we have no idea what to expect from our QB. If Speight were healthy, we could run the ball some, even if our OL has been inconsistent. With an injured Speight or a healthy O'Korn, OSU packs the box and blitizes like crazy, like IU did last week; result is we don't score enough to win. Our shot is for the D or special teams to win it, with turnovers or a big return. If I knew what we were getting out of our QB I'd love to pick this otherwise.
