****Official Michigan-Ohio State Thread****

Hornacek · #1 11-14-2005, 04:07 PM

Come and get it, JohnnyBeef and other Bucks fans. The Big House is going to be ROCKIN'.

GO BLUE!

Predictions:

-Mike Hart comes back to play brilliantly, chewing up plenty of clock.
-Breaston-Ginn matchup is overhyped, and underperformed.
-Troy Smith once again shows that Michigan has no idea how to handle running QBs, while dashing for 60 yards and 1 TD.
-Henne to Avant good for 10 receptions and a score.
-AJ Hawk and the Bucks come up with big time interception when Michigan is in the red zone.
-Mario Manningham provides late game dramatics with a long TD reception late in the fourth quarter.

-Lloyd Carr finally realizes how to beat Jim Tressel. Michigan has sweet redemption for an otherwise subpar year.
Michigan 31, Ohio State 28.

(side note: I watched the Wisc-Mich game at a bar with a couple of fellow Badgers and after we won (for the first time since 94!) we bought the UM guys a round of shots. The toast, which was the first thing about the whole evening that everyone seemed to agree on, "Fvck Columbus.")

um, if you think Michigan is scoring 31 on OSU's defense, you might want to go take another bong hit.

Hey man, its my prediction, you're free to post your own! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

But OSU does have a vaunted defense, I've found that most of these trends can be thrown right out the window when it comes down to UM-OSU.

However, Minnesota and MSU did manage to nick that D for points as well.

I'm 100% all for stating that OSU's defense >>>>> UM's defense though.

I think the predictions are good. Michigan is playing with a lot of confidence right now, and we are almost fully healthy at this point for the first time since NIU. Hart will be back so we should be in good shape. It is amazing to me what a better RB he is compared to Grady/Jackson/Martin. Breaston looked great last weekend (except for that one bad cut on the punt) and should be primed for this week. As long as we dont punt to Ginn, we should be OK since Tressel cant figure out how to use him properly anyway.

Smith will get his yards, but our D has played pretty well against spread offenses and running QB's so far this year.

What both Michigan and OSU also should be rooting for is for MSU to get their heads out of their asses and show up this weekend against PSU (not saying that OSU will win the Big 10 since Michigan is going to win and go to the BCS, but maybe if we pool all of non UM-OSU energy and direct it at East Lansing maybe something good will happen up there).
