we played as bad as we possible could against MSU and still only lost by 3 points. Looking like the streak will continue.

I'm pissed that we lost, but I don't expect the "tail spin" like we've had the last 2 years. Our defense is a lot better this year, and I really think they can carry us a little bit.

Luckily we have a bye week next week, so we can get/stay healthy. Our remaining schedule is favorable, and it isn't crazy to think we can still make it to Indy.

Indy? Lol you're kidding right? You're a game behind MSU and if they can beat Nebraska they'll win a fairly easy last 4 games to take the division. No way does Michigan win this division, it'll be sparty or Nebraska

They still have Wisconsin Nebraska and Iowa. All I am saying is we still have a shot. I.e. it's not the end of the world

we are just as good as michigan, wouldn't surprise me if we win that game at all, especially knowing that our defense can slow down michigan's offense

You're not horrible. But idk what would lead you to believe this current OSU team is just as good. You could win though, i was joking abotu it not being possible

Obviously offensively we aren't as good right now, but we are better in every other area of the game and we can control the lines of scrimmages as well which is what Michigan State did today.

I think Ohio State can absolutely beat Michigan. I hope to see it.

Special Teams-OSU
Offense- Michigan
Scoring defense-Michigan, probably will change after today though
total yards defense-OSU

Id say the only spot your definitively better is special teams. But you could def beat us in the game

no way is michigan better on defense than us, we are better on special teams, defense and especially in the trenches, which is where we can win the game

The numbers dont lie, they have better scoring defnese and allow damn near the same amount of passing and rushing yards. Ohio St's offensive line is horrendous, you may be better in the defensive trenches, but OSU's O line is horrible

Pass blocking maybe, but we do have a freshman qb back there, we will be able to run all over you guys just fine imo

You're middle of the pack big 10 in rushing, its not like its Beanie and Pryor are back there. But I guess we'll see

I'd say on defense OSU is definitely better as well. Offense obviously goes to Michigan as well as coaching.
