Reading Peppers comments about "bad intentions" and wanting to test the Buckeyes appetite for physical play.
Sometimes you catch a comment like that and it sheds insight into the mentality of the program/what's truly going on in their heads behind all the PC coach speak nonsense.
If tsun players and coaches really think they play with some special level of physical toughness that OSU can't match or will submit to when faced with it, then they are already beaten.
Those fucking fruits have left the state of *ichigan for a football game twice this year, Rutgers and Iowa, and they lost one of those. Now they are going to head into Columbus thinking about how they are just going to bully the Buckeyes?
Holy shit. Arrogance and stupidity can be a spectacular combination.

Apparently Speight has resumed throwing in practice this week. Apparently it will take a hell of a lot more to keep him out of the game

I'd rather see him back there to be honest. You have more film on him, tendencies will stay the same and when he drops back you know where he's going to be. The other one is more of a wildcard.
Regardless of which one plays (or both) I don't think their offense is going to be able to do much.

This pass rush does not always get home but it racks up a lot of pain along the way. That does not bode well for a QB who has been injured multiple times this year.
I would be more concerned if the alternative were Brandon Peters (but an older version). The book is out on O'Korn (and his pressure meltdowns were the reason Speight won the job). He has a nice arm and good straight line speed but he melts down when pressure comes his way (as opposed to the pretty calm Speight who has a huge frame and good feet to relocate away from sacks). Their fanbase adored O'Korn and were 90% convinced he was the heir to Ruddock. They maintained that hardline stance into fall camp, and only came around late in camp after Speight maintained his pole-to-pole lead in the QB race.

TALE OF THE TAPE: OHIO STATE ENJOYS RECRUITING ADVANTAGE OVER MICHIGAN, BUT THE GAP IS CLOSING
The two best recruiting programs in the Big Ten will clash on Saturday for a share of the Big Ten East and a potential berth to the championship game. However, the balance favors Ohio State over the past three recruiting cycles. This bodes well for Saturday's matchup much like the balance favored Ohio State in its clash with Oklahoma in Norman.
Ohio State has led the conference in recruiting rankings since Meyer arrived for the 2012 recruiting cycle. Michigan has been No. 2 every year since, excepting the transition year from Hoke to Harbaugh in the 2015 cycle. Penn State used that transition to secure No. 2 status in the Big Ten.
Michigan closed the gap between itself and Ohio State with the 2016 recruiting cycle. However, Ohio State enjoys a discernible advantage over Michigan in almost every recruiting indicator.
Consider the first table, similar to the analysis we did for the Oklahoma matchup. This table compares Ohio State and Michigan on aggregate indicators for the class overall, including number of four-stars, five-stars, top 100 prospects, and overall rank. Ohio State beats Michigan, almost handily, in every facet.
Start with 2014, which featured a typical (i.e. stellar) recruiting haul for Urban Meyer against Brady Hoke's last full recruiting class before his dismissal after the 2014 season. Michigan fans will caution that, for all his faults, Brady Hoke did well to bring talent to Ann Arbor. Major pieces from his 2013 and 2014 recruiting classes feature prominently on Michigan's roster.
The 2014 recruiting class may have portended lost faith in where Michigan was going under Brady Hoke. The Wolverines landed the No. 6 recruiting class in 2012 (with 15 four-stars) and the No. 4 recruiting class in 2013 (with 17 four-stars). However, Michigan fell to No. 8 in the 2014 cycle with just eight four-stars and only two top 100 prospects.
The class still produced several mainstays on the current roster, most prominently Jabrill Peppers (a five-star athlete) and Wilton Speight (the season's starting quarterback). Others players from that class like Mason Cole, Noah Furbush, Chase Winovich feature in Michigan's two-deep.
If Michigan struggles with talent against Ohio State in the short-term, Michigan fans will likely point to the 2015 recruiting class as a culprit. Michigan fired Brady Hoke after the season-ending loss at Ohio Stadium in 2014 but had to wait several weeks before the NFL season ended to hire Jim Harbaugh as his replacement. Michigan lost ground with several recruits as a result. Ohio State fans should remember this helped Urban Meyer secure Mike Weber's signature over a competing offer from Harbaugh and Michigan.
This 2015 recruiting class for Michigan just produced 14 players total, only six with four stars. Tyree Kinnel and Tyrone Wheatley have made some small contributions to the current roster among those six four stars. Grant Newsome, another four-star, was a starting tackle before blowing out his knee last month. Grant Perry, a three-star, starts in the slot and is fourth in receiving yards for the offense. Do note that effectively means he has just 134 receiving yards this season. The jury is out for the remainder of the class.

WE'RE TALKING PROGRAMS. Other people look at art from 20th-century Netherlands or Italy. I'm a humbler man.
From the eclectic Ohio State Archives Flickr album of old football programs, here are the top five Michigan program covers from the years.
NO. 5 — NOV. 21, 1936
Trash young Millennials might look at this and say, "Cute children's drawing." But it's a sketch from iconic Columbus cartoonist James Thurber.
No. 18 Ohio State ran away like a bad dog from a bad Michigan team that day, 21-0.

The gold football pants charm every member of the Ohio State team receives when they defeat Michigan. Tradition started in 1934 by H/C Francis Schmidt who said "We'll beat em cause they put their pants on 1 leg at a time just like everyone else"

Ohio State, Michigan fans around world don't let distance get in way
Zongguang "Will" Li is a Shanghai native who attended Ohio State because it ranks among the top 20 public U.S. universities for its academics. He had almost no knowledge of American football while growing up in China, but he became an enormous Buckeyes fan at Ohio State. So much of a fan, in fact, that after moving back to Shanghai after college, Li returned to Ohio in September 2014 for the express purpose of attending some Buckeyes football games.
There was just one problem. Li says a U.S. border agent at O'Hare airport where his flight landed was skeptical about his reason for flying to America.
"I basically told him that I wanted to stay in the U.S. to watch the football games," Li says. "He thought that I was joking with him, so that's why he took me to an inspection room, which we call a little black room. He took me to that room and for two hours, no one asked me any questions."
And some people think they had a long time getting through airport security during Thanksgiving week?
Li says there was suspicion that he was not coming to see Buckeyes football but rather was planning to illegally overstay his visa. It took time, but a more understanding agent eventually accepted that, yes, Li was indeed back for the football games. After all, he's an Ohio State alum! He was allowed in and was able to watch the Buckeyes beat Rutgers, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan in Columbus before he returned to Shanghai, where he works consulting with students and families on education. He has traveled back to the U.S. several times since and has had no trouble at customs, though he always brings those 2014 Ohio State tickets along with documentation of that border interview just in case.
"The first officer, I don't know where he graduated from," Li says. "Maybe he didn't like Ohio State."
Well, perhaps the agent simply was a Michigan fan.
Ohio State alum Zongguang "Will" Li, far left, of Shanghai and Wees Abraham, founder of Michigan's Middle East alumni association in Dubai, are among the fans around the world who will be watching the Buckeyes and Wolverines battle Saturday.
The Ohio State-Michigan rivalry is one of the most intense in college football, but it is not restricted to Columbus and Ann Arbor or their home states. Or the United States, for that matter. There are Ohio State and Michigan alumni around the globe. In addition to their vast alumni clubs in the U.S., Michigan has at least 50 clubs worldwide, ranging from Abu Dhabi to Vietnam. Ohio State's alumni association doesn't list as many global clubs, but they exist everywhere from Argentina to Nigeria to Indonesia.

The first thing I think of when I think of Jabrill Peppers is definitely his physicality.
The second is chlamydia.
