Perhaps the softest Xichigan team I've seen in nearly 60 years of watching the Game. But boy were they determined not to let anyone mess with their logo midfield. They totally embarrassed themselves today on their home field. HA HA HA
BTW, total yardage this year for scUM:
163 Yds
For Grambling St
166 yds

Mix it with the relish!
Now all feels right in the world.
12-0. Headed to the Big Ten Championship. Defending National Champs.
Yes, we will follow you into the fiery depths of hell now. Lead the way, Coach Day.

Actually a pretty fair analysis. Have to give the kid credit.

Head Coach
Had to double check, but Davis Warren had more total yards last year (73). BUT, Underwood also had fewer completions, so there’s that.

What did Day say to Moore on the field after the game? His face showed disgust seeing Moore and he said something about “I’m not doing that?”

Ohio State Offensive Line Dominates Michigan in Pass Protection, Run Game
Forty minutes time of possession. A 12-minute drive. Not just zero sacks, but zero pressures allowed. Ohio State's offensive line took Michigan's soul Saturday.
Ohio State Offensive Line Dominates Michigan in Pass Protection, Run Game
Great offensive line play can take an opposing team’s soul. Especially in the blistering cold of late November.

But more than anything else, OSU’s offensive line took Michigan’s soul with a 20-play, 81-yard field goal drive that took 11:56 off the clock to salt the game away in the second half.
“Those guys played really physical,” Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin said after the game. “I think, all season long, they’ve just had an edge to them and played nasty. Being able to run inside zone when we have RPOs out there, and we hand it off and we get 7 yards, and you see guys getting thrown to the ground, it looks like carnage out there. It’s just, it’s awesome to see.”
“Carnage” is an excellent word for Sayin to choose. That’s what it felt like. Sure, Ohio State only averaged four yards per carry, but it found consistent chunks and imposed its will on the nation’s No. 10 rush defense as the second half progressed.
Just look at the beauty of the blocks on this 6-yard CJ Donaldson run during that nearly 12-minute drive. Watch the GIF back five times and follow a different Buckeye slob on each one. Right tackle Phillip Daniels washes down 310-pound defensive tackle Trey Pierce. Left guard Luke Montgomery pulls and obliterates safety Brandyn Hillman. Left tackle Austin Siereveld picks up linebacker Jimmy Rolder, then races upfield to help pull Donaldson forward.
Carnage. The front five brutalized Michigan all drive that drive, all second half and truly, all game.

Actually, forget zero sacks. They allowed zero pressures, per Pro Football Focus. It’s hard to pick a stat that stamps this offensive line performance the most, but it might be that one. Look at how long Sayin had to find Carnell Tate on his 50-yard touchdown pass,
This is a Michigan defensive front that ranked 27th in the nation for sacks entering Saturday. Defensive end Derrick Moore was second among all Big Ten pass rushers with 9.5 sacks. But Siereveld, Montgomery, right guard Tegra Tshabola, center Carson Hinzman and Daniels pitched a perfect game in pass protection. They didn’t just take the Wolverines’ soul in the pass game. They devoured it.
Ohio State’s offensive line produced easily its best performance of the year on its biggest stage yet. More big stages are to come in the Big Ten Championship game and the College Football Playoffs.
But with Michigan’s souls harvested, for now, they can kick back and enjoy a well-earned can of Dr. Pepper.
Just sayin':
a. Makes you wonder if Tyler Bowen was a definitely upgrade over Justin Frye.....
b. It is a relatively young OL too. Look at their depth chart:
2025 Ohio State Buckeyes Football Depth Chart | Ourlads.com
The most respected source for NFL Draft info among NFL Fans, Media, and Scouts, plus accurate, up to date NFL Depth Charts, Practice Squads and Rosters.
| LT | 67 | Siereveld, Austin RS SO | 69 | Moore, Ian RS FR | 74 | Lowe, Carter FR | ||
| LG | 51 | Montgomery, Luke JR | 58 | VanSickle, Gabe RS FR | 76 | Cook, Jake FR | ||
| C | 75 | Hinzman, Carson RS JR | 56 | Kema, Isaiah FR | 64 | Lorentz, Simon RS FR | ||
| RG | 77 | Tshabola, Tegra RS JR | 78 | Onianwa, Ethan RS SR/TR | 62 | Padilla, Joshua RS SO | 71 | McFadden, Jayvon FR |
| RT | 70 | Daniels, Phillip RS SO/TR | 65 | Terry, Justin RS FR/TR | 72 | Armstrong, Deontae RS FR |
Everybody except the RG2 (Ethan Onianwa) can return next year. Also, (click on the link); the entire offense is relatively young too. The WR-X1 (Carnell Tate) may opt for the NFL and others could transfer; however, the RG2, TE2 (Will Kacmarek), and RB4 (CJ Donaldson) are the only 3 in the entire offensive depth chart that are out of eligibility after this season.
3. Ya think the OL (or at least Hinzman) could get a Dr. Pepper NIL deal after their performance yesterday?.....

Matt Patricia's Defense Suffocated Michigan in Decisive Second Half
Matt Patricia's defense was great all day but its performance in the second half was next level as it held Michigan to zero points and 39 total yards.
Matt Patricia's Defense Suffocated Michigan in Decisive Second Half
Ohio State's defense, led by defensive coordinator Matt Patricia, has been nothing short of spectacular in Year One, and Saturday was no exception as the Buckeyes smothered Michigan, 27-9, in the Big House.
And while Silver Bullets were really good in the first half, holding Michigan to 124 total yards, one third-down conversion and nine points - three of which came after a Julian Sayin interception gave the Wolverines possession at the OSU 39 - the dominance displayed in the second half was the kind of performance that will live forever in rivalry lore.

The numbers behind Michigan's scoreless second half are eye-popping:
- 6:20 time of possession
- 39 total yards
- 3 first downs
- 2.2 yards per play
- 5 carries for -8 yards
- 5-of-13 passing for 47 yards and a pick
- 0-for-4 on third down conversions
- 0-for-1 on fourth down conversions
- 13 total yards on the final 17 plays

....Thank you Ped State for hiring Jim Knowles as defensive coordinator this season. I'm sure that you are happy with that move, after starting the season either #1 or #2 in the polls, the Pedsters went an amazing 6-6 this season.....:2.
....Thank you Boston College for hiring "Boob O'Bunion" as head coach this season. I'm sure that you are happy with that move, the Eagles went an amazing 2-10 this season.....
