When will Ohio State lose to Michigan?
Colton Denning via our friends at Land-Grant Holy Land
Visit their fantastic blog and read the full article (and so much more) here
We drink the Wolverines’ tears on our newest podcast.
What a time to be alive. Ohio State’s crazy, 30-27 comeback victory over Michigan not only gives them a sterling 12-1 regular season record, but also five straight wins against the Wolverines, and puts them in prime position to make their second College Football Playoff appearance in three years. It was the perfect game to mirror Ohio State’s season of ups and downs, and an incredible way to end a year that started with so many question marks.
(It’s also a win you can document by reminding your Michigan friends that actually, the spot was good)
For Michigan, the game represents a missed opportunity. The Wolverines will be kicking themselves for not only bungling a game that they had an inordinate amount of chances to win, but also for it probably costing them a shot at the playoff. It may have also been their best chance to win The Game for the foreseeable future.
Michigan is expected to lose a ton of talent to the NFL, and it stands to reason that they won’t be as dominant next season, especially given the losses on defense. They also play a tough schedule, with a neutral site game against Florida, and road trips to Penn State and Wisconsin. Will they be able to reload enough for those teams, and beat an experienced Ohio State to close out the season?
On this episode of The Hangout in the Holyland, Matt Brown and Colton Denning are back to discuss when they think the Wolverines will actually beat the Buckeyes, and why it may not be for a while. Of course, they also talk about all the crazy stuff that happened in Saturday’s game, including:
They also discuss why the 2016 season was a huge success, their level of confidence in the Buckeyes earning a playoff invite, and debate whether they can win a game if they get in.
You can find the podcast on our iTunes page, and we strongly encourage reviews, comments, criticisms, etc. to help us deliver the best possible audio product.

- When they thought Ohio State might actually win
- Giving props to the defense and J.T. Barrett
- Being at peace with the season
- Michigan’s best season in a decade being a third place finish in the Big Ten East (people forget that)

Ohio State’s J.T. Barrett scampered to an Ohio State victory over Michigan
Christopher Jason via our friends at Land-Grant Holy Land
Visit their fantastic blog and read the full article (and so much more) here
Despite an up-and-down performance from the offense, the quarterback’s legs won them the football game.
It wasn’t pretty. J.T. Barrett had a roller coaster of a football game with the highest of highs and lowest of lows, but it was enough to defeat the No. 2 scoring defense in the country.
The offense looked to be in complete disarray throughout the afternoon, with an handful of three-and-outs and an anemic passing game. Although Barrett’s numbers were not up to par, his supporting cast did not help him out. The offensive line got worked by one of the best defensive lines in the country and the receivers continued to be non-existent against a legitimate secondary.
Let’s get to the tape:
J.T. Barrett passing chart vs Michigan
Since the Penn State offensive line debacle, there was great improvement across the board. Unfortunately, it looks like the improvement was based on their superior talent over Northwestern, Nebraska, Maryland and Michigan State. In those four games, the offensive line allowed only 22 total pressures and five sacks. In the two games versus Penn State and Michigan — two of the better defenses in the conference — the offensive line has been terrible. They allowed a combined 44 pressures and 14 sacks against those two squads. A potential matchup with Alabama’s ferocious defensive line should give Barrett nightmares.
Not only was the offensive line play subpar, but the receivers just cannot gain separation against real secondaries. The few times Barrett was able to get time, he sat in the pocket waiting for a member of #Zone6 to get open, and he was either forced to throw the ball away or tuck and scramble. The wideouts have been consistently inconsistent throughout the season and it will only be more apparent against the better secondaries in potential College Football Playoff matchups. It’s a giant mystery as to why this unit has regressed since last season — and it’s tough to see why without All-22 access. It’s definitely not a talent issue and receiver coach Zach Smith has quite the Ohio State to NFL resume since he’s been in Columbus. It’s tough to imagine an improvement in this department before the season concludes, so it’s best to hope that this group does not cost them a chance at winning a national title.
Although it looked like the Wolverine defense was gassed in the fourth quarter — which allowed Barrett to find open receivers -- the game was won on his legs. They designed 15 runs for him, which is about the average this season and he was forced to scramble on seven dropbacks. If the sack yardage was subtracted from Barrett’s total rushing yardage, he would have rushed for 157 yards on 22 carries — which is excellent. Besides the 4th-and-1 conversion, Barrett’s best play came on his 41-yard scamper that set up a potential game tying field goal.
If they were able to convert on this drive, this play would have gone down in Ohio State- Michigan history:
Before the snap, Jabrill Peppers and the free safety had massive confusion. It looks as though Michigan wanted Peppers’ athleticism at free safety when Ohio State went to an empty set — which usually results in a designed quarterback draw. Michigan left the middle of the field wide open, which is an automatic run check for Barrett.
/cdn0.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/7551997/Screenshot_112916_110239_AM.jpg)
Barrett hesitates, while the receivers do a good job of selling their pass routes. Barrett then tucks the football and follows Pat Elflein -- who only has Peppers to block.
/cdn0.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/7552011/Screenshot_112916_110735_AM.jpg)
Elflein gets a hand on Peppers and Barrett cuts to the right of the Michigan defender. He throws a stiff arm on Peppers and continues to out run Michigan’s most elite athlete for 30-plus yards.
/cdn0.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/7552015/Screenshot_112916_110847_AM.jpg)
Barrett finally gets shoved out of bounds at Michigan’s 20 — which should have led to a game tying field goal and an eventual regulation victory. The tempo and Barrett’s awareness set up this fantastic play that took advantage of a tired and confused Michigan defense.
/cdn0.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/7552017/Screenshot_112916_110954_AM.jpg)
Even with the offensive line and wide receiver struggles, the combination of Mike Weber’s ability to move the chains in short yardage, Curtis Samuel’s big play ability and Barrett’s smarts will always give Ohio State a chance to win any game they’re in. Hopefully they get a chance to prove themselves in the playoff.

Raekwon McMillan named Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week

The junior linebacker notched 16 (!) tackles vs. Michigan.
Hard to believe there was a ridiculous narrative at one point that somehow Raekwon McMillan had regressed or was underachieving, isn’t it?
The junior Ohio State Buckeye (and team captain) cemented himself in Buckeye lore leading OSU with a career-high 16 tackles against arch-rival Michigan. He added a quarterback hurry and a pass deflection for his troubles.
McMillan is a semifinalist for the Butkus Award as well as the Lott IMPACT Trophy. The former goes to the nation's top linebacker each year while the latter is a mix of defensive excellence and off the field accomplishments.
The Big Ten will announce its Defensive Player of the Year as well as individual honors this evening. McMillan will almost assuredly have a shot at some additional accolades before everything’s said and done.

Important Ohio State DT target walks away impressed
Dan Hessler via our friends at Land-Grant Holy Land
Visit their fantastic blog and read the full article (and so much more) here
Four-star DT Jay Tufele seems to have enjoyed his visit to Ohio State this past weekend.
This past weekend was huge for the Ohio State football program in many ways. With more than 50 recruits in attendance for The Game, the Buckeyes couldn’t have asked for a better environment – or outcome.
One of the more important recruits to be in town to watch the game was four-star defensive tackle Jay Tufele (South Jordan, UT / Bingham). Tufele is one of the country’s top 60 recruits in this year’s class and is the top recruit from the state of Utah, according to 247Sports.
While the Buckeyes have already earned commitments from two promising DTs in this year’s class, the staff seems to be steamrolling their efforts to land a third, and it appears Tufele is their guy. Alongside Haskell Garrett (Las Vegas, NV / Bishop Gorman) and Jerron Cage (Cincinnati, OH / Winton Woods), Tufele would make this group one of the strongest position hauls in the 2017 class.
Tufele listed the Buckeyes in his top seven schools, along with BYU, Michigan, UCLA, USC, Utah and Washington. Of that group, the only other school Tufele used an official visit on was Michigan.
The 6-foot-3, 297-pound DT finished up his official visit Monday morning, and took to Twitter later in the afternoon to express his gratitude for Meyer and the rest of the coaching staff for the invite. It appears Tufele liked what he saw.
Words can't describe how amazing my visit was to Ohio state thanks to coach @OSUCoachMeyer and his staff for everything! pic.twitter.com/dsyJJYrkhk
— Jay Tufele (@tufele123) November 28, 2016
Expect Ohio State to continue to go after Tufele. It is not a stretch to say the Buckeyes are now the favorite to earn his commitment.
2 Ohio State recruits make cut for the U.S. Army POY finalists
The U.S. Army Player of the Year finalists were released Monday afternoon, and making the cut was current Buckeye four-star quarterback commit Tate Martell (Las Vegas, NV / Bishop Gorman) and five-star running back target Cam Akers (Clinton, MS / Clinton).
Martell, who committed to the Buckeyes in the early summer, is the No. 2 dual-threat QB in the 2017 class and has been one of Ohio State’s biggest recruiters since announcing his decision. He played a large role in the Buckeyes earning commitments from elite wide receiver prospects Tyjon Lindsey (Las Vegas, NV / Bishop Gorman) and Trevon Grimes (Fort Lauderdale, FL / St. Thomas Aquinas).
Akers is one of the few remaining offensive players Ohio State is still targeting in the class. The former Alabama commit’s recruitment is very much still up in the air, but there are a few teams separating themselves from the pack – and the Buckeyes are one of them. Akers was in town for the Michigan game and seems to have walked away impressed.

Four-star DT Jay Tufele seems to have enjoyed his visit to Ohio State this past weekend.
This past weekend was huge for the Ohio State football program in many ways. With more than 50 recruits in attendance for The Game, the Buckeyes couldn’t have asked for a better environment – or outcome.
One of the more important recruits to be in town to watch the game was four-star defensive tackle Jay Tufele (South Jordan, UT / Bingham). Tufele is one of the country’s top 60 recruits in this year’s class and is the top recruit from the state of Utah, according to 247Sports.
While the Buckeyes have already earned commitments from two promising DTs in this year’s class, the staff seems to be steamrolling their efforts to land a third, and it appears Tufele is their guy. Alongside Haskell Garrett (Las Vegas, NV / Bishop Gorman) and Jerron Cage (Cincinnati, OH / Winton Woods), Tufele would make this group one of the strongest position hauls in the 2017 class.
Tufele listed the Buckeyes in his top seven schools, along with BYU, Michigan, UCLA, USC, Utah and Washington. Of that group, the only other school Tufele used an official visit on was Michigan.
The 6-foot-3, 297-pound DT finished up his official visit Monday morning, and took to Twitter later in the afternoon to express his gratitude for Meyer and the rest of the coaching staff for the invite. It appears Tufele liked what he saw.
Words can't describe how amazing my visit was to Ohio state thanks to coach @OSUCoachMeyer and his staff for everything! pic.twitter.com/dsyJJYrkhk

Expect Ohio State to continue to go after Tufele. It is not a stretch to say the Buckeyes are now the favorite to earn his commitment.
