INSIDE THE BOX: LOOKING AT THE RECEIVER ROLES, HOW DEFENSIVE ADJUSTMENTS HALTED MICHIGAN'S CHANCES, 2019 SECONDARY COULD BE THE BEST EVER
HALFTIME ADJUSTMENTS STEAL THE SHOW
Against its rival, the Silver Bullets stumbled out of the gate.
The Buckeyes were missing Shaun Wade, of course, but Patterson and co. carved up the visitors for the first 30 minutes. The Wolverines were able to neutralize Chase Young and the rest of the Rushmen while carving up a secondary without its star slot cornerback.
If it had not been for the most Shea Patterson fumble of all time, Ohio State may have faced a deficit going into the break. Instead, Robert Landers pounced on Patterson's miscue and the Bucks drove down the field for a touchdown, effectively pulling away from the Wolverines.
After the break, Ohio State rebounded, returning to the stifling form the nation has witnessed all season long.
Michigan had a success rate of 53%, per ESPN's Bill Connelly, in the first half. After returning from the locker room, it was reduced to just 40%, below the national average.
One of the major adjustments out of halftime was how Ohio State got in the backfield. While Chase Young was statistically limited against the home team, his monstrous ability and halftime adjustments opened up holes for several different players. Defensive tackles Davon Hamilton and Robert Landers took advantage of their one-on-one matchups, combining for four tackles for loss and one sack.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
‘You have to win The Game. You don’t have a choice when you’re a Buckeye.’
You don’t have to talk to Ohio State players or coaches very long to figure out how seriously they take the rivalry with Michigan.
There is not just one, but two separate full-wall displays about The Game, each featuring a clock counting down the days, hours, minutes, and even seconds to kickoff of the next year’s meeting.
Saturday after the Buckeyes’ 56-27 thumping of the Wolverines, sophomore quarterback Justin Fields said Ohio State’s intensity has been the key to their dominance.
“I just think that we take it more seriously than they do,” Fields said.
It may seem hard to believe that a player who grew up in Georgia and who had only been part of the OSU program for 11 months could possibly take The Game more seriously than someone like Jim Harbaugh.
Harbaugh’s father was an assistant under Bo Schembechler during the 10-Year War. He was a starting quarterback for Bo during the 1980s. It’s hard to imagine anyone could possibly understand or take the rivalry more seriously than that.
But the Buckeyes seemingly have.
They don’t just talk about working The Game every day, they do it.
The Buckeyes do “Team Up North” periods during practice throughout the year. If there are 231 days until that year’s Michigan game, the team will do 231 reps of an exercise.
That one game is not just at the forefront of everything the Buckeyes do, it’s why they do what they do.
“There’s no ifs, ands, or buts. People say ‘What if you don’t win The Game?’ There’s no choice. You have to win The Game,” said OSU head coach Ryan Day. “You don’t have a choice when you’re a Buckeye. You have to win that game.”
Day has now coached in three Michigan games, although this was his first as the head coach.
For OSU defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley, Saturday in Ann Arbor was his first exposure to The Game, period.
“It was certainly very emotional after the game. That whole day, and that whole experience. A game like that is what you dream about. A game like that is why you want to coach college football. Probably the biggest that I’ve been around at any level, in any stadium,” Hafley said.

FATALITY. It looks like the Buckeyes ain't quite done beating Michigan this week as Cam Brown put Michigan receiver Donavan Peoples-Jones in a bodybag online.
Brown posted a photo on Instagram featuring himself lining up against DPJ on Saturday, and Peoples-Jones took the opportunity to toss a jab at the Buckeye corner in the comments.
The conversation did not end well for him.
"It's probably one of yo 5 drops" doesn't have quite the same ring as "shit happens, bum juice," but I'll take it.
