There will be more than 30 points scored in this game.

He is just talking about OSU alone. Not to say that they wont score 30. I don't know . But it seemed as if you thought he was talking about the combined score for the game. The actual spread is sitting at Michigan +12.5 and the point is 47. Would probably still take the over and the 12.5. As for OSU, i am not sure they will score 30. It is Pryors first time in the Big House so I hope he gets rattled a bit.

TP-led offense scored 24 at PSU two weeks ago, in his first trip back to his home state. M needs to get pressure and contain him to rattle him. Given the weather forecast, I'd be leaning toward the over.

I am thinking there will be more than 30 scored in the first half. I see a replay of PSU game last year. Michigan up 21-17 at half. Final score: OSU 34, Mich 24

Play it safe. I'd take the Over/Under.
November 20th, 2009 at 5:10 PM ^
probably over, sorry. this defense won't heal over night. it's going to have to be a shootout for us to have a shot.

Over. But that's not terrible for UofM granted they show up on offense. Ohio State doesn't drop bombs on anyone, atleast not very fast. If they can get Vincent Smith going we should control the clock more than usuall. If Mike Shaw came back to the line up, that'd be pretty helpful too.

I was only talking about osu (yeah, that is not the traditional O/U bet).
This year what the D has allowed in Big10.
Indiana 33
MSU 26
Iowa 30
PSU 35
Illini 38
Purdue 38
Wiscy 45
Yikes!!

If OSU goes up 21-0 or so, they go into a shell and we have one pass being thrown in the second half. Final score: OSU 31, UM 7.
Now, if UM gets something going offensively, then you have a shot--but again, we score second half points at a slightly lower rate than GM sells cars.
The trouble with this rivalry these days is that Jim Tressel treats Michigan the way Milton Berle used to treat dick meauring contests: Pulling out just enough to beat you.
