My gut tells me that UM needs to do things primarily...

[Reality Man]

1. Contain Elliott. He is going to get 20 touches +. to set up the pass.

2. UM is going to need to score 28 + points to have a chance to win. They need to score otherwise OSU will grind on them with some big plays.

Prediction. Whoever wins the time of possession will win the game.

so much for #1......

I guess OSU decided to play this week . No surprises here.

UM is going to have to score at least a fg before half time and make some adjustments at half time. I don't if UM has the DL/lb horses to stop OSU.

UM is going to need some TO's in this game.

You gotta end this drive with a touchdown.

 

[Reality Man]

UM is going to have somehow limit OSU to fg's in the 2nd half. UM missed some opportunities early and it lucky to be down by 4 in my opinion. They got the job done but OSU gets the ball to start the half.

There is no question in my mind that UM can put 10-14 pts on the board in the 2nd half but there is a question whether they can slow down OSU. I see UM having to play higher risk defense...blitz more and have a safety help out the lb'ers.

Looks like Rudock is going to have to win this game for us. If the defense makes a few stops then we're good.

 

[Reality Man]

UM is going to need a turnover and a ST's play to get back in this game.

That could be the ball game right there.

 

[GoBlueinNC]

Just don't see it......OSU is just better in every phase of the game......the OL is just dominating up front.... they have to stack the box and just have to play one-on-one on the receivers and hope to get an INT....

 

[Reality Man]

I would try and onsides kick. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

 

[GoBlueJagaloon]

Really needed the touchdown there. Ohio State does look like the better team at this point.

 

[alablue]

Urban winning with talent. That should equal out over the next few years.

 

[GoBlueJagaloon]

Where do we go from here?

Im guessing the Capitol One bowl against Georgia or maybe Florida

Not if your talent keeps getting hurt. Losing Ojemudia for the season and Mone before the season even started didn't help.

And Glasgow on the DL..
