Game Thread Game Eleven: Ohio state 25, Michigan 21 (final)

[BuckeyeKid789]

Fuck Michigan! Eat shit on Saturday!

Grady looks good at times, but that's against inferior defenses who don't hit hard and wrap up like the silver bullets do. Grady won't break away like he did against the Hoosiers.

I'm not sure why you're focusing on Grady; Hart is going to play and be the far and away #1 RB. Grady had a great game against IU, but like you said, your linebackers can handle him a lot better than the Hoosiers. Grady will be used, but more as a power changeup as opposed to the shifty Hart.

Then there's the wild card: the Buckeye offense. Which one will show up?

Totally agree. Your offense can bust out a big play at any time.

Then there's the Michigan defense. Although they seem to have stars in Reed, Watson, Burgess, and Crable, they are hovering in the 50's when it comes to national ranking in total defense. That's bad for Michigan standards. Again, bottom line is Buckeye offense out-classes Michigan D.

Ok. First, we don't have anyone named Reed. Second, Burgess and Crable (who doesn't start) have not had good years on the whole. Crable is good on pass rush and Burgess has improved as the year went on, but David Harris is far and away our best linebacker. You also forgot our best player, in my opinion, Lamar Woodley. Our 50 odd ranking doesn't look great, but look at the offenses on our schedule: Notre Dame, MSU, NW, Minnesota. All are top 10 in the nation.

Special teams isn't even close.

I don't understand this either. Did you forget Breaston on KR/PR? He didn't start the year well, but he was supposedly injured (yet again). Without his return against Penn State we lose that game. Ross Ryan has done a fine job on punts, and sends most of his kickoffs deep into the endzone. In the Indiana, I kept track in the first half: We squibbed twice, but the other 5 kickoffs were all touchbacks. He had a similar performance against NW.

Now, Rivas. He has shitty range, played terribly against Minnesota and Indiana, choked the first game winning FG attempt against MSU, and, like you guys love to point out, is a fat ass. Hidden by these high profile critiques is the fact that he's actually decent from within 40 yards. His statistics got him nominated as a semifinalist for the Groza (not that I'd vote for him). No, he's not great, far from it, but he's not nearly as bad as his higher profile deficiencies would make it appear.

Also, to preempt some responses, yes, I know OSU's special teams are better: Ginn is faster than Breaston and Huston is better than Rivas. But to dismiss our special teams isn't fair.

No one really stands out to me on their linebacking core

David Harris should have; he's had a breakout year.

I cant think of anything that they do that great

Agreed, but neither do we do anything bad like we did last year. The major problem last year was mobile QBs, we've beat all the ones we faced this year: Basanez, Robinson, and Stanton.

Steve Breaston might be too hurt to have an impact.
Q:Why would I say that???
A:Because thats the same lame-ass excuse we've all been hearing for his whole college career.

I wish I could disagree with that. :( At this point, his fragility has to be considered a major problem. Supposedly he's healthy now.

Henne is in trouble for this game, some want Gutz to start ahead of him, hes looked indecisive, and like a freshman quarterback.

Eh? Any Wolverine who doesn't want Henne to start is clinically insane. Henne has had a poor year, without a doubt, but he's improved as the year went on and played very well against MSU in that rivalry game.

Buckeyekid, now there's an insightful post! I do love the signiture though.

TheMile,

1. Who is the linebacker I'm thinking of? No Reed? Dang, the name is escaping me. Either way, this Michigan defense is still not up to typical Michigan standards. You have to agree. They've played well lately, but it's light years from the 1997 team, or the 2002 Buckeye defense for that matter. As far as the 2005 Buckeye defense goes, they had a poor showing against MSU and Minnesota, but other than that, I'd say they are as good (maybe better?) than the 2002 team.

2. I actually didn't realize Hart was expected to be 100% for this game. However, it still doesn't worry me. I can't believe there isn't a serious layer of rust on that guy (similar to Troy in the Texas game). Then consider what a slightly worse Buckeye D did against an unrusty Hart last year.

3. As far as special teams go, Huston vs. Rivas? Bucks, and I won't stoop to a fat-ass joke...yet Ginn vs. Breaston? Bucks. Ginn/Holmes/Gonzo vs. Michigan kick returners (?)? Bucks. Trapasso vs. Ryan? I honestly don't know. However, I wasn't saying Michigan was a bunch of slackers...just saying the Buckeyes were a bunch of studs.

1. Who is the linebacker I'm thinking of? No Reed? Dang, the name is escaping me.

Ohhh, Reid. I should've realized that. Reid's the LB whose career was ended by an injury. No offense to Reid, but the current LB corp is a huge improvement. McClintock also started last year and has been benched all year due to poor play.

Either way, this Michigan defense is still not up to typical Michigan standards.

It's no '97 Michigan D or '02/'05 OSU D, but I'd say this is the best defense we've had in a few years. Dismissing them based on the #50 ranking forgets the quality offenses we've faced.

just saying the Buckeyes were a bunch of studs.

Fair enough.

I try. :)

Our 50 odd ranking doesn't look great, but look at the offenses on our schedule: Notre Dame, MSU, NW, Minnesota. All are top 10 in the nation.

gee, i wish there was a defense around here that has played a schedule like that and have a better than "50 odd."

Oh wait.......Texas, MSU, NW, Minnesota is better than ND, MSU, NW, Minnesota. And what do we have for a defensive ranking?

Yo Findley BUCK...that PHOTO in your sig...

...

Has to be from "my place"...nowhere else in the country do you get three "hapa" chicks like that in one place at a time. I can almost guarantee that is at the Blaisdell Arena in Honolulu...probably at a SUPERBRAWL FIGHT!

I can't wait to get back home for Christmas! Mili find these three babes on the right for me!

Ross Ryan has done a fine job on punts, and sends most of his kickoffs deep into the endzone. In the Indiana, I kept track in the first half: We squibbed twice, but the other 5 kickoffs were all touchbacks. He had a similar performance against NW.

the only part of your post that really stuck out, for me, was what i've quoted. out of every 10 kickoffs, how many would you say ryan kicks into the endzone? actually, how many out of every 10 does he kick deep into the endzone? ohio state has racked up a lot of points against teams who have kickers that can't kick deep. ryan's foot does worry me somewhat, considering that an excellent return can yield an easy 3 if not 7, as well as serving as a morale booster.

i do know that we won't have to worry about breaston on kick coverage.

edit: have any buckeye fans watched enough of michigan this year to know how good ryan's leg is? i'm not discounting your post, mile, but you are a fan of sCUM. sorry. that was rude.

Freep.com Michigan vs Indiana

U-M's Garrett Rivas leads the Big Ten with 17 field goals. Michigan kickoff specialist Ross Ryan has thrived, booting the ball for touchbacks 50% of the time (29-for-58). His punting has slipped recently, though, and he averaged fewer than 37 yards against Iowa and Northwestern.

thanks, tim. hey, where do you get the touchback stats? i can't find it on espn, si, yahoo, cbs-sportsline, and ncaa.org.

edit: duh. now i see the link (freep).

 

[timBUCK2]

I just googled "ross ryan" touchbacks and got lucky :) It would be nice if the major stats sites recorded touchbacks - you wouldn't think it would be that hard...

BTW I added the link to the last post.

Ok Mili...

You can take the short one next to the blonde, that's perfect b/c I would take either of the two on the right, Hell, I'll take both! The one on the far right looks familiar. I know I've seen her in some restaurant working.
