Ohio State 31-14. Michigan has been able to force teams to pass because of their "great" rush D. However they haven't ran into a 1-2 punch. Pittman the work horse will have a good game, not outstanding, but good. Chris "Beanie" Wells is going to solidify himself in this game. It will be a break out for him. He will be able to come in with fresh legs against a tired UM D and will take advantage. Once the Bucks get them to commit and try to put more in the box Smith will go over the top. Last years hero Gonzo will have a solid performance. Teddy Ginn won't do much. He may get loose on a PR, but don't expect him to catch anymore than a few passes for minimal yardage. Robiskie will be the standout receiver. The Bucks are too deep at the wideout spot to be stopped. Ginn and Gonzo are going to draw the coverage and Robo will sneek loose. The key to this game is obviously both the defenses. Michigan doesn't allow yards. Ohio State doesn't allow points. I'll take no points over no yards any day. Not to metion the Bucks points off of turnovers, 93 and haven't given up a single point yet off of turnover. Ohio State hasn't had to pull the trigger yet this year. The starters have been out early to mid 3rd quarter in nearly every game. I look for this to go into half time 17-14 OSU. Then the pull away will begin and UM will be forced to go to the air to catch up which will lead to a couple Henne INT's. Also don't forget JT owns UM and Llloyd Carr.

All right, I live with en walking distance of the shoe and i have been hearing about this game for months now. Honestly I consider my self a fan of OSU but the hype this season is over whelming. 1,000-2,000 to see a football game is just insane. I don't get why anyone wouldn't sell their ticket, just pocket a few grand and watch the game on TV or go tailgate and watch it. The game is defiantly being over hyped. I think it will be a great game though. Personally I think the biggest edge in this game will be the 105,000 Scarlet and Grey fans. I think OSU's offense is very good, but Mario Manningham is very good too(How did he get out Ohio?) Manningham and Breston are Michigan's only receiving threats. Melcom Jenkins will shut down Manningham, and Brandon Mitchel will do the game to Breston. Mike Hart will run well but Quinn Pitcock and Jay Richardson will stuff the middle and the outside will be shut down by the soon to be Jim Thorpe winner Antonio Smith (the best blitzing CB in the NCAA). James Lauranitis will just me harassing Henne in the pocket all day, and will most likely have a pick, assuring himself to win the Dick Butkus Award. Then on the offensive side of the ball Troy Smith is the Michigan killer, and he just is, and that's not going to change. Then Ted Ginn's speed, with Anthony Gonzalez's amazing routes he runs will be unrecoverable, letting OSU's do what ever they want. Pittman will run all right, but the break-out playing will be Chris "Beanie" Wells. I look for him to run for two touchdowns on Saturday. All these are reasons for OSU to win the game, but i still think it will be close. Michigan should be prepared for Ginn and Gonzo. Focusing on them will leave Roy Hall, and Ryan Hartline wide open, and look for them to have big difference making games.
Jim Tressel OWNS Loyd Carr
Pittman=Hart
Smith>Henne
Ginn, Gonzo, Hartline, and Hall>Manningham and Breston
OSU's Punting and Kicking is much better than Michigan's
OSU's Defence>Michigan's Defence
The Crowed will be huge
OSU>Michigan
I like the game to be close, be decided in overtime.
The final will be 28-26 3OT
I look for a rematch in Tempe in Janurary as well.
Go Bucks, Screw Blue
We don't give about the whole State of Michigan, because were from Ohio!

Ohio State will win for the following reasons:
1. Too many weapons on OSU Offense to cover
2. When Michigan blitzes, Troy Smith scrambles for first downs.
3. OSU Defense will create more turnovers than UM
4. Tressell is a better game day coach
5. OSU has edge on special teams.
6. Home field Advantage, The shoe will be soo loud!

This queston has been asked so many times....sigh...
Michigan well win this football game because they are lead by a genius-Llyod Carr and English. They have good players on both sides of the ball: Chad Heene, Leon Hall, Mario Mannigham, Mike Hart, Kevin Grady, LaMaar Woodley, Jake Long, etc.
Michigan well dominate on specail teams as well as D. Troy Smith has thrown interceptions over several games and it all comes down to who can commit the least amount of penalties.
Michigan wins 21-14
