Paper,Rock, Scissors, Lizard, Spock!
by 1 point or by 50...the Buckeyes will be victorious. I will drink to old Ohio until I wobble in my shoes. I will feast on Thanksgiving leftovers and call it 'wolverine' to satiate my blood lust for the destruction of that entire state up north.
Go Bucks. Beat blue

HOW MUCH WILL OHIO STATE RUN J.T. BARRETT AGAINST MICHIGAN?
If the weather takes a turn for the worse in an Ohio State game, you can bet the quarterback is going to run the ball quite a bit.
Urban Meyer won games that way at Bowling Green with Josh Harris. He did it at Utah with Alex Smith, Florida with Tim Tebow and at Ohio State first with Braxton Miller and now with J.T. Barrett. The quarterback run is a weapon in his eyes; it creates an advantage for the offense provided his tailback and receivers can block.
But Meyer shortens the playbook exponentially when the weather is not cooperative or he has little to no confidence in Barrett throwing the ball. He did it this season against Indiana in high winds, last week at Michigan State in snow, wind and cold and also at Wisconsin in an overtime victory.

TWO OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL'S MOST VERSATILE PLAYERS ON DISPLAY SATURDAY IN OHIO STATE'S CURTIS SAMUEL, MICHIGAN'S JABRILL PEPPERS
There may not be a more difficult task in Saturday's game between Ohio State and Michigan than trying to figure out how the Buckeyes will use Curtis Samuel and how the Wolverines will utilize Jabrill Peppers.
They're two of college football's most versatile and dynamic players and each side has one. Samuel, the do-it-all offensive dynamo for Ohio State; Peppers, the two-way star for the Wolverines. If both of these teams are chess sets, Samuel and Peppers are the Queen pieces.
Saturday should allow for each's full arsenal on display.
"He's a great player," Buckeyes head coach Urban Meyer said of Peppers on Monday.
Peppers is primarily a defensive player, a hybrid outside linebacker, but he does spend some time on offense, too. Peppers has played over 10 different positions this season, according to the school.
His most common spot is linebacker, though, and the Bednarik (defensive player) and Maxwell (player of the year) Award finalist flies all around the field for the third-ranked Wolverines. On the season, Peppers has 65 tackles (16 tackles for loss) and four sacks.
But Peppers also gets some time on offense and special teams for Michigan, too. He has 23 carries for 163 yards (7.1 per rush) and three touchdowns on the season while also serving as the Wolverines' primary punt and kick returner.

I just spent the last hour reading this thread...the amount of hate here warms my cold, dead heart.
If I could IV the hate for U
from this thread into my veins I'd live to be 150.

If it means guaranteeing a victory on Sat, then I don't give a goddamn motherfuck what happens during bowl season. I said that 10 years ago, and I still say it today, despite what happened.

Some pre-game thoughts:
- Two totally different teams this year.
- scUM is much improved. Best D we will have faced all year. Which says a lot in light of PSU and UW
- We cannot allow any big returns by Peppers. Special teams have to stay in their lanes and play disciplined assignments. Hoping Corey Smith helps out with his return.
- Field position is going to be key. CAM will do his job. Will the special teams do theirs? Maybe we just kick it out of bounds. It would be great to see Campbell take one to the house.
- We have to limit penalties and win the turnover battle. Hoping for a couple INT's by the good guys.
- Crowd needs to be unbelievably loud. Will probably be the biggest ever in the Shoe.
- Our D has to stop their running game and make O'Korndog beat us through the air.
- Holmes, Hubs, Lewis and Bosa need to wreak havoc on O'Korndog. We haven't blitzed much at all this year. Some but not much. Maybe it's time to send Baker, Kwon and Worley occasionally to bring added pressured.
- We can't give up on our running game too early. We can't be one dimensional. Trust the OL to get it done.
- If JT is accurate in the passing game we should be just fine. But can our receivers get separation on an elite defensive backfield? I'm looking for Desoto and McLaurin to come up big on Saturday. Hopefully Baugh can help move the chains as well and we need to be strategic on matchups with Samuel.
- This is THE GAME. Leave nothing on the field.
GO BUCKS!! Beat scUM!
