Too soon old, too late smart
Somebody tell Day that he doesn't have to win by running the ball! Heck, couldn't do it with Treyvion and Quinshon, and this year's RBs are not of that caliber. Take what the D gives you, and spread them out by flooding the field with WRs. Hopefully the communication between Smith and Tate and Sayin is still 'fresh' and working after the WR layoffs. Rely on the D, and send the house to rattle Underwood. Keep Reese keyed on Underwood, so he cannot squeeze through without getting his helmet rattled (PS, in no way am condoning targeting). Stop the run game, and force Underwood to beat us through the air. Will let our superior DBs overwhelm their WRs, and maybe get 2-3 pick sixes to punctuate the game. 35-9.

Five things to know about The Team Up North
A trio of freshman lead the Wolverines into this matchupHere are five things to know about The Team Up North.
1. Michigan is without Justice Haynes
The Wolverines are always elite at running the football, and they are great at it again this season. Even though starter Justice Haynes is out for the season, redshirt freshman Jordan Marshall has stepped up in a big way, running for 871 yards on 143 carries and 10 touchdowns in Haynes’ absence.Marshall did not play against Maryland, but could have played if needed, and is expected to play against Ohio State.
As a group, Michigan has run for 2,458 yards on 440 carries with 32 touchdowns.
2. The Wolverines are young and talented
Not only does Michigan start a true freshman at quarterback in Bryce Underwood, but its starting running back and top rusher Jordan Marshall is a redshirt freshman and top wide receiver Andrew Marsh is a true freshman.Even though they are young, they are incredibly talented and can make plays. They are also prone to the freshman mistake, and the Buckeyes defense has to force them to do that.
3. They stop the run well… again
The big story last season was Ohio State’s insistence on running the ball against a team that excelled at stopping the run, and they are very good at it again this year.The Wolverines come into this game as the second best rushing defense in the conference, giving up only 81.7 points per game. Ohio State is the best rushing defense in the conference, only allowing 80 yards per game. With Haynes out, the Wolverines will turn to Marshall, an Ohio native, to carry the backfield.
4. Ernest Hausmann mysteriously missed the last game
The Wolverines leading tackler and captain on defense Ernest Hausmann did not travel with the team last week to Maryland, and it remains a question as to why. There was no indication of an injury, and the pregame broadcast said that disciplinary reasons were not the reason that he was not there.Earlier in the week, he posted on X about a podcast he was starting, but on Saturday night he posted that he didn’t leave the team.
After the game, Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore said “Yeah, they’re just working through some things, so not long-term things. We’ll see as we go through the week.”
