OT: A Conversation my Brother and I had the Other Day.

Submitted by husker4life on

I was talking to my brother Aaron a couple days ago on the phone and we were discussing college football (Huksers of course) but we were also poking around other conferences too. He brought up the Big Ten and how big this Iowa Ohio State game is going to be. I asked him who he thought would win and he said "I believe if Iowa's defense can shut down Pryor like the Badgers did then the Hawkeyes might be able to walk away with this game." I then asked him what he thought of OSU Michigan this year and his reaction was quite surprising. He said that Michigan's offense is one of the most explosive and dangerous offenses in the nation. They're able to put up points both early and often and even though down in games they seem to beable to comeback late and even win with less than a minute to go on the clock." I asked "Aaron if it's OSU's defense vs Michigan's offense who has the upper hand?" He said sadly "Ohio State's weapons on offense like Sanzenbacher, Posey, Herron and of course Pryor are very difficult tasks for Michigan's defense to contain all 4 quarters, but there is one thing that Ohio State will have to look out for and that's Michigan putting up a lot of points. I think Michigan can beat OSU but in order to do so they will need keep stops on 3rd downs, not turn the ball over and put up a lot of points on every drive. I honestly think that Michigan wins if this game become's a shoot out. This game might very well be notable one on the Big Ten schedule come November 27th,

as I am sure Sweatervest will try to manage the game by getting ahead and then trying to keep Denard and company off the field.

Problem is - it only takes us a little opening to score quickly.  tOSU will respect that as I am sure that Denard has caught the attention of tOSU's DC.

Wasn't one of your first posts/threads about some guy who tried hitting on you at a bar or something like that?  or was that another poster?

And no offense whatsoever to you, but what exactly is the goal of this thread?  I mean I welcome any positive energy, just curious as to your motivations...Do you like Michigan at all?

I can't help but assume this is some trick.  Maybe even a hex.

Glad you're around, H4L, but let me remind you that a post concerning M football, though prefaced by a conversation you had with your brother about Husker football, is not OT.

Wow, very enlightening.  Who's your brother?  Kirk Herbstreit, Gary Danielson, Pam Ward?

"Score points, no turnovers, stop them on third down, gonna be tough to contain all four quarters..."

I hear this about twenty times every Saturday pretty much no matter who is announcing and playing.

I'm not going to knock the OP's point, which is that UM's offense has to scare the bejesus out of Tressell and co. because it has the potential to push tOSU out of there preferred game style, which is getting ahead and then holding on through field position.  That secondary for OSU is young, and I have not been as impressed by the team's overall performance this year compared to others.  If UM can get up early and force Tressell to open it up and put faith in Pryor being the 3-time Heisman trophy winner he will be at the end of the year, you never know.  I think the focus should be on Purdue, though, since there is no assurance that this team will be able to them on the road.
