These two offenses should be very different. Look for the North to run the ball considerably more with their stable of RBs. The South will run more of a spread passing attack with Mauk and O'Connor and is loaded at WR while only having two RBs on the roster, including Warren Ball. What makes it interesting is the North DL will get a chance to pins their ear back with McMullen, Lewis, Strobel and Willie Henry.

I know a lot of people are picking the South but I think if the North can score early, their talented DL can really get after the South QBs. I think the difference is a couple of big turnovers by the North defense, more specifically by Devan Bogard. North wins a close one to snap the streak.

South QB JalilCroley is intercepted by #OhioState signee #DevanBogard on a fantastic diving catch Teammate #WillieHenry forced the bad throw

North on the move but they fumble and #OhioState signee #NajeeMurray pounces on the loose ball. First down South at own 30.

#WarrenBall catches a swing pass from #MichiganState signee #TylerOConnor and races 31 yards down in the left sideline inside the North 30.

North trying to test Najee Murray deep down the sideline there but he was step-for-step with WR Justin Hardee.

Couple stops by Najee Murray on D. Big hit on the last one. He loves to hit for a CB.

Was I right or was I right?
