I think both defenses cancel each other out, but the Buckeye offense appears to be clearly more productive than it's opponent's.

Can never dismiss UM at home, especially when they have nothing to lose now with their 3rd defeat.

You can never count out the joke from the north at home, though with that being said, they are garbage.
There offense is horrible, and their defense I think is overrated.
Buckeyes- 35 TTUN- 10

This is when the underdog is the most dangerous in this rivalry. U of M has nothing to play for except pride. If they win they know they finish the regular season with the same record as Ohio State and end any possibility of Ohio State making the Final Four Playoff. If they lose it's another at least 4 loss season and are a combined 1-15 VS Tressel and Meyer.

I just hate that it's on Fox... it just seems wrong somehow...
Game scares me some... its here in Michigan and U of m really has nothing to lose and they might just be jacked up enough to be dangerous, especially if they aren't properly prepped. That said, I have a hard time thinking Urban would let that happen a second time this season.

ES(SEC)PN has made it 'seem wrong' for a long time now and with their full move to the political left, they really sicken me. I'm expecting a 28-17 win for the Buckeyes.

While this should not be a "trap game" for OSU like Iowa, scUM is always most dangerous, as others have pointed out, when they are underdogs to OSU, play at home, and have absolutely nothing to lose. OSUs continued inconsistency on offense against good, solid defensive football teams will reel its ugly head again. Special teams play continues to be less than adequate as well vs quality opponents. I look for scUM, as much as I hate to say it, to pull it out. Remember, OSU is already set to go to the B1G championship game, so that's another complacency factor against the Bucks and this team has shown an inability to remain focused all season. Just my thoughts, that's all.

Thus far U of M has paid Harbaugh an average of $8.3 Million/year to finish 3rd in the Big Ten East twice. If Ohio State wins this Saturday they finish 4th in the Big Ten East. That alone should be a huge incentive for Ohio State and Urban, who makes more than $2 Million less per year.

Just my thoughts, that's all. Can't remember the last time ichigan has been favored in this one. The special teams problem has been addressed and corrected. Urban Meyer wasn’t happy with his backup offense in the second half of Saturday’s 52-14 rout of Illinois. After Illinois returned a fumble by backup quarterback Dwayne Haskins for a touchdown, Meyer ordered his number one unit to go back on the field to straighten things out. “I was ******,” Meyer said about the situation. “I just didn’t want it to turn into a clown show,

Comes down to execution. QB performance is huge. Have to be dialed in from the get go. Kinda feel like the Iowa game was a wake up call. The changes in terms of LB play and who is on the field, most noticeably Borland in the middle and Worley back on the outside and Baker needing to show up again seemed to really improve the entire defense. I think the emphasis of getting our running game going again has rekindled the OL performance and all of a sudden we look more unstoppable than ever these last two games. I'm sure we'll get UM's best shot, but I think we are on a roll and are simply better at numerous positions.

I'm sure we'll get UM's best shot, but I think we are on a roll and are simply better at numerous positions. It all begins with the OL. If the OL executes, the backfield can do their job effectively. We were getting less than par performance from our Linebackers early season, Borland and Worley have been a pleasant surprise. Again, the running game resurgence points to the OL and man, have they responded. Dobbins and Weber are a scary 1-2 punch. I agree, we are a better football team in most every category, let's play like it Saturday.

We'll have chance to beat TTUN, IF we run the dang ball, And not feature Barrettiv's great passing ability. Thankfully, The commitment between Barrettiv & Meyer is almost over.

If TTUN puts 9 players in the box you still think "we" should "run the dang ball"?
What did Harbaugh's anti QB commitment plan do for him this year? Three different starters and on the verge of a 4th place finish in the East Division. U of M's worst finish since he's been there.
I just hope Ohio State doesn't have a "clown show" next year at QB.

Last years game exemplifies the importance of playing a clean, error free game as possible. It was a tight game, with Ohio State amassing 330 total yds vs. 310 total yds.for M..... The Buckeyes had a significant edge on 1st downs 24 to 17. But the deciding factor was Ohio State playing a very clean game, with only 2 penalties for 6 yds....yes, 6 yds.....lol Can anyone explain how that happened? I'm guessing one illegal procedure and a half the distance penalty.
While M.... had 7 penalties for 59 yds. The Buckeyes won the turnover battle as well, 3 for M.... and 1 turnover for the Buckeyes. When defenses rule the day, keeping it clean dramatically enhances your chances.

Michigan took a heartbreak last year, I'm sure they want revenge.Bucks in low scoring game!
Top playoff teams are Alabama, miami, clemson, Wisconsin, or Oklahoma ( flip flop).Auburn in mix and OsU needs help. Wisconsin showing signs of a passing attack.

Given the fact the Buckeyes have owned the Wolverines 12 of the last 13 years, you could use the term 'revenge' in any given year as a motivating factor, take your pick.

Counting 1985, sixteen years that saw Michigan winning 12 of 16 contests and one tie game. From 2001 to present, it's been Ohio State dominance, with Buckeyes prevailing 14 times and Michigan with a meager two wins. Domination of an opponent invites complacency, Urban hasn't allowed that to happen. Think about it, quite a remarkable run....only two losses in 16 years. Let's keep it going......GO BUCKS!

I expect a close game. Hairbaugh will throw every and anything he can at OSU. They will without a doubt try to establish a solid run game vs OSU. If OSU's D is solid today and JT doesn't have seizures OSU should win but I don't think it comes easily.

OSU letting a 3rd stringer score so easily on them. If O Korn had any accuracy UM would be up 14-0. JT looking very JT so far.

Just turned on Fox, Looks like the Oakland Raiders on I almost turned back off cause it looked like an NFL game. I was expecting to see Ohio State. Why can't we wear our regular uniforms anymore ? And Barrettiv looking as stupid as those uniforms.
