Buck I in Mich
Behind Enemy Lines
Maybe it's just me but I don't typically go out of my way to associate with an entity I hate as much as you claim to hate OSU. Did you lose some kind of bet, or are you dense enough to think we'll actually be bothered by your stupidity?
By all means, keep spewing the venom. Your tears are delicious. Enjoy another 366 days of humiliation.

Post-Game News and Notes
1. First, the bad news. Revenge Tour 3.0 has already begun, and Michigan will DEFINITELY be back next year. Just wait, you'll see....
2. I didn't post anything pre-game, because I hate making predictions, but I honestly thought that this was going to be a close low-scoring contest, something on the order of 19-13 Ohio State midway through the fourth quarter. You know, a one-possession game with Ohio State struggling to close it out, Michigan desperately trying to score the go-ahead touchdown, something like the 2002 Game that literally went right down to the last play (with Michigan getting a magical extra second on the clock for an extra undeserved play). Well, I could not have been more wrong. Michigan started fast, but Ohio State was faster all game long and by the fourth quarter it was blow out time. For the second year in a row, Ohio State dropped a 50-burger on Michigan, and it could've been 60 or 70 if Ryan Day really wanted to embarrass his erstwhile rivals....
3. And let's talk about that so-called rivalry for a minute. The Game is not the greatest rivalry in sports, it's not even the greatest rivalry in college football, and in fact it's barely a rivalry at all anymore. Jim Tressel, Urban Meyer, and now Ryan Day have killed it, along with hundreds of Buckeye players who are/were quite simply better, faster, stronger, tougher, and smarter than their Wolverine counterparts. It's not quite the Notre Dame-Navy rivalry (43 straight for the Domers), but The Game is definitely going in that direction. And the best part for Ohio State fans is this: The Buckeyes are actually just now peaking, with eight in a row including two historic ass-kickings in the past two years. Michigan is at the point where they will be happy to win a Game or two every decade, and keep it competitive (moral victories) maybe half the time. As someone tweeted:
4. Justin Fields started poorly. Maybe it was the weather, maybe it was his gimpy leg, maybe it was the pressure of his first Game, but it looked like Ohio State might have trouble scoring due to Fields's inaccuracy. Fields's first four pass plays were: incompletion; incompletion; sack; incompletion; and then he hit J.K Dobbins on a short pass over the middle that went for 28 yards. Fields next five passes were: 4-yard completion; incompletion; incompletion; 11-yard completion; incompletion; and then he hit Chris Olave for a 57-yard touchdown. In sum: 11 pass plays, 6 incompletions, 1 sack, 2 short completions (15 yards), and 2 huge plays (85 yards, TD), which is about as erratic as a QB can be. After the rocky start, Fields settled down and completed 10 of 15 passes for 202 yards and 3 TDs.
5. Speaking of Fields, he aggravated his MCL strain (suffered last week vs Penn State) with just under 8 minutes left in the 3rd quarter. Chris Chugunov was forced to enter the game for a few plays, and he performed admirably, keeping the chains moving and even converting a 3rd-and-5 with an 11-yard pass to K.J. Hill. After sitting out for 7 plays, and getting fitted for a knee brace, Fields returned with just under 4 minutes left in the 3rd quarter and Ohio State facing a 2nd-and-10 from the Michigan 30-yard line. On his first play back, Fields dropped back, scrambled left, thought about running, then dropped an absolute dime to Garrett Wilson for a 30-yard touchdown. A great play by a great player in a great moment, the stuff of legends.
6. Whatever anyone else accomplished, and lots of players accomplished a lot, J.K. Dobbins was clearly the player of the game. Dobbins accounted for all 79 yards (51 rushing, 28 receiving) on the Buckeyes' opening touchdown drive, and he was just getting started. For the day, Dobbins had 31 carries for 211 yards (6.8 average) and 4 TDs; and added 2 receptions for 49 yards, giving him 260 all-purpose yards for the game. His 33-yard run with 6:30 left in the 4th quarter iced the game for the Buckeyes.
7. For the season, Dobbins has 250 rushes for 1,657 yards, which is already the 6th-best season in Ohio State history and the Buckeyes have at least two more games to go. Dobbins in on pace for 1,933 yards (assuming 14 games), which would just barely break Eddie George's single-season record of 1,927 yards (13 games in 1995).
8. Austin Mack, often inconsistent throughout his career, had 3 receptions for 39 yards, including a 16-yard TD in the 4th quarter that more-or-less clinched the win for Ohio State. Mack has been plagued by the dropsies from time to time, but he always seems to bring his "A" game for Michigan.
9. Even though the Buckeyes scored 56 points, the offense was far from perfect. The inconsistent start of Justin Fields has already been noted. Chris Olave had 2 receptions for 68 yards (including a 57-yard TD), but with about 13 minutes left in the game, he dropped a perfectly thrown pass that would've been a 56-yard TD. Garrett Wilson had 3 receptions for 118 yards (including a 30-yard TD, and a long of 47 yards), but he muffed a punt late in the 3rd quarter that handed Michigan 3 points and kept the Wolverines in the game for a few more minutes.
10. The Buckeye defense surrendered 27 points and 396 yards, which is not what we all expected from the #1 defense in the nation. Part of the problem was the absence of slot CB Shaun Wade, who is arguably the Buckeyes' second-best defender after Chase Young. And Young didn't play like a future top-5 draft pick, with no tackles, no sacks, and just two QB hurries. The rest of the D-line was little better, as the team recorded just a pair of sacks (Davon Hamilton; Jonathan Cooper) and generally let Michigan QB Shea Patterson have too much time and too many throwing lanes (at least in the first half).
11. Baron Browning showed why he needs to play more, and also why he's still behind Tuf Borland on the depth chart. Browning has the size and athleticism to make impact plays (team-leading 7 tackles, 1.5 TFLs), but he's not exactly a student of the game (witness his gaffe on the 35-yard run by Hassan Haskins that almost allowed Michigan back into the game).
12. Malik Harrison (2 tackles, 1.5 TFLs) and Jashon Cornell (no stats) were, surprisingly, virtual no-shows. All season long, both seniors have been very active and contributed a number of big plays for the much-improved Buckeye defense.
13. Cornerback Amir Riep, playing in place of injured Shaun Wade, looked lost for much of the game, but recovered nicely in the 4th quarter with a PBU on 4th down to kill one Michigan drive, and an interception to kill another.
14. Michigan QB Shea Patterson played out of his mind in the first half, completing 14 of 19 passes (.737) for 250 yards, a TD, no INTs, and no sacks against the nation's best pass defense. But the Buckeyes made some serious adjustments in the 2nd half (more pressure, tighter coverage), and held Patterson to just 4 of 24 (.167) for 55 yards, no TD, an INT, and 2 sacks. In fact, if you subtract out the 16-yard INT return and the yards lost on the two sacks (16 yards), Patterson accounted for only 23 yards of offense in the entire second half.
15. For the third year in a row, Michigan quit in the 4th quarter. That's what we like to see.
