This has exactly what to do with what?

LJ's argument and Tierdick's last post. Did you read any of the thread or just jump to the last page and post?

Denard is FAST. Like, REALLY fast. The entire offense just looks really quick off the line, and the OL makes excellent blocks for the QB and RBs.

With that said, this offense WILL NOT survive the Big Ten season without a good running game. Shaw, Smith or someone needs to really step up and pick up the slack.

Stonum looked damn good today.

Our defense is fucking horrible. HORRIBLE. I'd give my left nut to see Morgan Trent back at the UofM.. and that's sad.
I'm not saying UM and Robinson isn't fast, but they have played 3 rather slow teams (UConn, Notre Dame and UMass).

We don't need to gloat because we have a top defense. Doesn't matter if other teams have top defenses or not, IMO we have the TOP defense in the Big 10 and one of the best in the country. Our offense will put enough points up to win games and defense will stop teams, can you say the same about Michigan? So while you may consider it gloating, I consider it confidence. And it is hard to say whether Miami is overrated yet or not, maybe Ohio State is just that good this year. Just a thought....

See, you read into it too much. Anyone with a brain between their ears knows OSU > Michigan. And the topic wasn't about the OSU defense. The comment made was that Michigan had played teams with bad defenses because they were ranked x, x and x. My only point was that OSU hasn't played stellar defenses either. Marshall is damn near dead last in the nation. Miami was a good win, but not like they are a top 10, or even top 20 defense. Eastern Michigan doesn't even need discussed. Could be the worst Div 1A school playing football.

I just get tired of such weak arguments.

This thread isn't about OSU. It is about Michigan. Michigan has not played a defense worth a shit, therefore you cannot get a true read on how good their offense really is. We will find out in a few weeks who is right and who is wrong.

I'm not the first one to bring up OSU, Wisc, MSU, ND, Iowa, Arizona, etc. into this thread. Give me a break.

I didn't say you were. I just asked why YOU brought OSU up.
