All this investigation stuff really has no bearing on this game. Michigan is a very good team and with it being at Michigan, right now my prediction is Michigan comes away with a close win. I’m not going to put blinders on and be a homer, just my opinion. I truly hope I’m wrong.
I saw the line came out today and OSU is currently 3.5 point underdogs so it’s going to be a close game.

My Buckeyes keys to success
1. McCord goes from JAG (just another guy) to stud. 2. Defensive line takes over. 3. Henderson has a highlight reel day.
I think Coach Day and company have and will continue to ignore the story line of this one in regard to Cheatgate 2023. This meeting for me is easy top 3 of the 2000’s era. While it is a home game for Michigan I see a final around
We are in for a treat Saturday ladies and gentlemen.

Ive been to The Big Hole many times for The Game and it is not a friendly place to visit even when its just a "normal" game between these two. scUMs fan base will be in a frenzy and Ive seen and witnessed ugly incidents many times both in the stands and on the field. I hope security is abundent and tight for this game. As for the game itself, the key IMO is OSU's line play, CJ ran for his life last year and I fear this year will be no different for McCord. Unless we pressure JJ, the guy might have another stellar game against our secondary. Fearfully, I dont really expect this game to be close. Hope Im wrong but this whole sordid cheating affair just adds more impetus to TTUN.

I will say I am very pleased with how Ohio State has played the last several weeks. The offense seems to be coming around, even considering how bad the other teams were. The offensive line is playing better and the plays just seem to be much better executed. Also helps that Henderson is fully healthy too. I do feel better now than I did maybe halfway through the season.

Ryan "Becoming more of a man everyday" Day will beat Michigan on Saturday.
31 - Ohio State 21 - Cheatigan
Henderson will bust a semi or long TD run MH jr will score a TD StoveTop will score a TD Day saw Maryland use the Bush Push 3 times vs Cheatigan. Day will use it too for a 4th TD
We saw Ryan Day be a pass happy Lincoln Riley clone in 2019, 2020, 2021 & 2022 We saw Ryan Day in 2023 finally realize Lincoln Riley is soft and he shouldn't be like Lincoln Riley and he should be more like Woody Hayes. Ryan Day will make Urban Meyer happy on Saturday Ryan Day will make Jim Tressel happy on Saturday Ryan Day will make Buckeye Nation happy on Saturday
Cheatigan is full of disgusting cheaters Cheatigan set MSU up in the tunnel last year because Cheatigan is full of filth Cheatigan is going to play extra dirty Saturday because that's who they are, pure trash Cheatigan has been found out for who they are, and Ryan "Becoming more of a man everyday" Day is going to do the United States of America proud Saturday and discard Cheatigan from the 4 team playoff.

Hope Im wrong but this whole sordid cheating affair just adds more impetus to TTUN. two big story lines coming into the game 1.) Have the Buckeyes losses came because of the cheating? 2.) is TTUN that good without the cheating? We will find out. I almost got tickets to this game months and months ago and decided not to. Kind of glad because I was going to take my son and while I can hold my own, my son doesn’t need to see TTUN fans being complete dirt balls.

27-13 Buckeyes. Although TTUN is a good team, Ryan Day is coaching for his job because if he loses to Moore, he’s done for.

I disagree on that about Day. Even if he does lose, I don’t see Ohio State firing him. Just not happening. With his overall record here, top recruits coming in, well run program, they won’t let him go. He’s also been to the playoffs 3 times already and with them expanding next year, he’s practically guaranteed a spot every year so he’ll have a chance to compete for a national championship every year.

Also, I don't think Gene Smith would even think about firing him as he is on his way out and about to retire.

evidently some of you haven’t been watching Trey Henderson the last 2-3 games. He’s healthy , he’s got fresh legs and he’s red hot. Btw— how is mich going to cover Marv , cover Stover, cover EE and slow down Trey ?
And on offense how are they gonna block JT and Sawyer when their OT’s can’t block “average DE’s” let alone good ones like we’ve got . Their wr’s haven’t faced db’s like ours either.
Mich has peaked imo. While OSU continues to get better.

I agree TTUN has some what peaked, but in these types of games anything can happen. For me it all comes down to the D and Henderson. That guy is white hot right now and running with a passion.

I agree. We haven't faced an O-line of this quality since Notre Dame. We can't give up 4.5 yards a carry to the MI RBs and expect to win. I think our D-Line has improved tremendously since the ND game and now is the time to show it.

As I thought earlier in the thread, Michigan just a better overall team this year and made the needed plays. A couple things that stand out to me… the interception obviously by mccord was huge, and then Day not being aggressive at the end of the first half. Mccord seemed to be in a rhythm and decided to slow it down. Can’t keep puckering up in big games.
So on to next year, it’ll be interesting to see what kind of team this is. I was reading recently that Ohio State could potentially only have like 4 starters back on both sides of the ball, depending on what players do. If so, could be a rough year.

Obviously the interception for td was huge. But no defensive stops in 2nd half when needed was even bigger as was the complete dullness of our offensive play calling. We never really used our weapons effectively IMO. IF McCord is our best qb, how bad must Devon brown be?

Once again, OSU is who Michigan thought they were, and knew exactly how to game plan to beat them. OSU out recruited or outcoached, or both.

Coach Day's body language at game's end and walking hallway looked of a Coach who's in deep...
1-3 with 3 straight losses with latest to an interim. An interim who at the end just about begged to give the game away

Soon I’m still waiting on Ohio State to beat Michigan. Any sight of that? ”soon”. So just another lie. No integrity. And I watched Ohio State beat Michigan 8 straight times from 2012-2019, so you have to do it 5 more times to get to that point so I’m just fine. I also watched us win two national titles since your last one. We’re good.

Day really was born on 3rd base to be honest Before Ohio St Day was a fired NFL position coach looking for a job. The notion that Ohio St couldn’t hire anyone remotely comparable or better is crazy to me. You have a big advantage gifted with you the day you are handed the keys with Ohio St.

No way can you take a sack at that point with no timeouts left. It was just an unfortunate play where he got hit while throwing it. sack or potential INT? Gives you third and long, but you still have the ball. This comes back to my very earlier comments, buckeyes need a QB with the ability to run. Just sucks. Three in a row is a horrible feeling. We may have TTUN number since 2000, but talent for talent we are losing. I am not ok with that.
