Who will win the OSU/Michigan game?

Answer 1

Well, that's a tough call. Henne vs. Smith, Manningham vs. Ginn Jr. It all comes down to which defense shuts down the QB. I'm going with Blue.

Answer 2

Well unlike everyone else who answered this question i am not a michigan fan nor an ohio state fan i actually hate them both but as far as the game goes it will be close anyone who says it won't is kiddin themselves. OSU has better skill players sept RB (HART) but there QB is WAY better and Michigans WR can't even hold OSU's wideouts jockstraps. manningham blows they throw it two him every play of course his stats are good but his hands suk and if the osu secondary doubles him then the rest of UM's wide outs absolutly suck. Now after saying that michigan does have a better defense and running game. It is going to come down to who makes the big mistake or who makes the big play. I believe the twelth man will give OSU the slight edge in a close one 24 -21, Henne throws a pick late in the game that cost michigan the chance at the national championship game

Answer 3

This is an easy one. Ohio State will win. There are several reasons why OSU will win this one easily. First let's compare the positions. QB is easy -OSU. At RB it would be easy to say Michigan but most people do not realize Pittman has nearly 1000 yards. OSU also has a backup who has 400 yards but has had a few costly fumbles. A few weeks ago this would have a clear cut advantage for Michigan but Hart had a costly fumble last week. RB is a toss up. WR is clear. OSU has the advantage. Manningham had knee surgery and won't be 100%. The O line is hard to tell. Probably advantage to Michigan but it is close. I do not understand why everyone says Michigan has a better defense than Ohio State. Sure they only give up 30 yards running but they have not played many teams with a quality back. They held P. J. Hill to 54 yards but Wisconsin was throwing a lot in that game. OSU and MU are giving up roughly the same number of yards a game but OSU has given up 6 fewer TD's. Yea Michigan has got some pretty good players especially up front but I still remember this as basically the same defense that got rolled on all last year. Also calling the OSU defense unexperienced and a weakness is totally wrong. OSU and bad defense do not belong in the same sentence. The OSU defense is opportunistic and fast and has only been getting better. I feel the Michigan defense has been slightly overhyped. 17 offensive points given up to Ball State? I feel that OSU probably has the slight edge on defense.
Now look at the quality wins. OSU has beat Texas, Iowa and Penn St.. I would include Indiana in this as well. Michigan has beaten Notre Dame, Iowa, Penn State, and Wisconsin. They play Indiana this week. I feel Texas is probably the best one loss team in the nation. Notre Dame just so-so. I feel they are not a top ten team (of course they can prove me wrong against USC). The win over Texas is huge. Now compare their common opponents. Iowa - Osu won 38-17 Michigan won 20-6. Penn State - Michigan won 17-10. OSU won 28-6. Mich St- OSU won 38-7 MU won 31-13. Minnesota - OSU won 44-0(anyone who watched that game would know it could have been 70-0. I personally thought it was OSU's worst played game of the year.) MU won 28-14. OSU plays a scary Northwestern team this Saturday and Michigan plays a good Indiana team. This will give two more comparisons. OSU 44- IU 3. MU 17 - NW 3.
So based on all this and what I have seen I predict that OSU will win 35-13. The game will be won by OSU's wideouts. There is too much depth and talent at that position for MU to stop. For Michigan to have a chance they will need to put a lot of pressure on Smith which I do not see happening. This game for him is for the Heisman. He is far too mobile. There is also too much depth and talent in the OSU defensive backfield for MU. A less than 100% Manningham will not save this struggling offense. The coaching is also going to be a deciding factor. Tressel has the advantage. Many people do not truly realize how great a team OSU has. Certainly Michigan has a good team probably the second best team in the country. This does not mean they are on the same level as Ohio State. The true national championship game in Columbus.
In conclusion the score will be OSU 35- MU 13. There is too much talent and depth at WR for OSU. Look for the OSU pass offense to finally open up against an exposed MU secondary. The pass offense has been mostly conservative and held back all season. Your going to see a lot of strikes over the top.

Answer 4

Michigan. OSU overrated like the last guy said.

Answer 5

Ohio State, of course. Michigan fans are deluding themselves. As for OSU being overrated...give me a break, we're not the team that has barely won all their games, including last weekend to BALL STATE. Please...Screw Blue.

Go Buckeyes!!

Answer 6

MICHIGAN
>>>>>>>>>>> MICHIGAN
OSU

Answer 7

How about Troy Smith, Ted Ginn, Anthony Gonzalez, Antonio Pittman playing at the same time? What about Quinn Pitcock, James Laurinaitis and that beautiful secondary playing defense at the same time? Who has Michigan got? NOBODY. CAN'T BEAT THE BUCKEYES BABY!!!!!!!!!

Answer 8

OSU will win easily

Answer 9

Michigan had better win. I got 20 bucks on them lol

Answer 10

In a contest interest, something can take place. Like they say, while it contains this, throw all your stats out of the window. gamers often play previous their "commonplace" potential and power and are pumped as much as beat their archrivals. Neither Chad Henne nor Mike Hart has ever overwhelmed Ohio State, and that i'm confident that they have all the inducement to do it of their final attempt. Michigan isn't enjoying for the national call anymore. in the event that they win out until then, they in line with possibility enjoying for the vast 10 call. even with the undeniable fact that, OSU might win out and play for the two the vast 10 call and in all possibility stepping into the national championship interest; subsequently, they have greater to lose. The stress could be greater on them than on Michigan. Michigan can play a spoiler place. i think of Michigan will beat OSU this twelve months and Lloyd Carr will then call it occupation, and a regime replace will take place. circulate BLUE !!!
