Didn't your calculations predict a 2 TD minimum walk last week? I guess you're suggesting that your gut felt like we'd win by MORE than 2 TD's... or I misread your post... which is possible.

I love the analysis, but the human factor nearly screwed us against Bucky. Just win, baby.

I only showed the numbers that I calculated 2 weeks ago, and I predicted 2 TDs minimum because of my gut, not because of the numbers. After the Wiscy-Indy game, the numbers were more in Wiscy's favor; but why post numbers that no one wants to hear?

I ignored the score prediction based on the numbers saying that OSU should have been able to run the ball better than they did. As mentioned previously, I think Hyde's YPC bears that out. Nevertheless, I put a lot of stock in the rushing numbers as opposed to the score prediction because of my gut. If I had gone with what the numbers said about the score, and only the score, I would have gone with 21-14, which was off by 1 td in regulation.

This week I predict a closer game because my gut tells me to pay attention to TSUN's yardage predictions more than the score. The rigidity adjustment suggests that they should be able to move the ball well both on the ground and through the air. It also suggests that their passing efficiency should be held WAY below their average.

Dinardo was saying a hyped up OSU/Michigan game in prime time (September) would be a good idea to promote the Big 10 and prevent back to back OSU/Michigan games at end of season.

I would be ok with it....it would be September........AND MICHIGAN WOULD STILL SUCK!

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- If you could hire one guy to stop Ohio State coach Urban Meyer, one defensive coach to match wits with Meyer's way of moving the ball, who would it be?

How about the first guy Meyer called when he made his biggest move, taking the head coaching job at Florida? Because that's the guy who's going to try to stop Meyer and Ohio State on Saturday at the Horseshoe.

Greg Mattison worked with both Meyer and Michigan head coach Brady Hoke early in his career. He was an assistant with Hoke at Michigan from 1992 to '96, then served as an assistant with Meyer at Notre Dame from 1997 to 2000. When Hoke was hired at Michigan, Mattison left his job as the Baltimore Ravens' defensive coordinator to join him in Ann Arbor.

Heck, if he wasn't already locked in with the Wolverines, he might have received another call when Meyer took over the Buckeyes.

"He was the first phone call I made when I got the job at the University of Florida, to find out if he'd go with me," said Meyer, as Mattison was still coaching at Notre Dame at the time. "We lived next to each other at Notre Dame for a long time. I know he's a great recruiter. We recruited together for many, many years. I've just got a lot of respect for him as a coach."
