42 - 24 Good Guys! I am about as jacked for this game as the 2 best games during my tOSU college days in 2002 and 2006. This game has so much on the line. B1G champions, CFP #2 seed, momentum in rivalry and my unadulterated pleasure for the next 365.

Both teams start tight. This game will likely be even at the half. I wouldn’t be surprised or panicked if down 3-4 points at the half. 2nd half adjustments will be key. I would be shocked if Corum doesn’t suit up but think he’ll be less effective as the game wears on. He will be delivered an absolute pounding. Tommy is going to throw some body blows even with 2 broken hands and then you have Ransom and Steele Chambers. The hate will be felt all the way to the very top of C deck. We will stack the box and force JJ to beat us which he is not capable of. No fn way. Chambers spying JJ will contain him and he will be harassed by JTT and Harrison.

I am expecting they’ll sellout to contain our run game and we will struggle to run the ball. I expect Day to recognize his higher calling in the single greatest rivalry mankind has ever known. I look for Stroud to have a solid game and our skill position talent + Stover mix being too much for Xichigans pedestrian secondary to contain for 4 quarters. Big Marv is an absolute marvel. The guy is so talented and will show up in this game. 12-15 catches, 150+ and 2+ TDs.

Midway through the third we seize control and squeeze these piss stains and reclaim glory with a comfortable W.

I will be pouring my finest bourbon around 6 pm to my crew of degenerates leading to rolling brownouts and a pleasurable return to work on Monday…it helps that our sharky and toothy midtown New York investors are mostly Michigan grads. Sweet sweet redemption and let me remind you that Michigan tears are glorious. Love the buckeye nation and this here buckeye planet

Sounds like a great way to spend The Game, I will be one of the ones with hatred flowing up in C-Deck. Your game assessment is spot on for what I am thinking happens as well. I think we'll be tied or maybe even down at the half (would love to be wrong though). Good news is we've weathered that storm many times this year, so we won't get panicked at all. Also this is the most excited I have been for an OSU game since '06 where throwing out the modern day playoffs and B1G championship game, everything was on the line. I am glad to be in C-Deck this time around because I was in B-Deck for that game and it was an awful view. Still, the energy from that game was incredible and I expect a repeat or better for this one.

This is not the week to fuck around. It's an early game Saturday, so Friday dinner is Taco Bell and this is your dessert. It's time to take one for the team.

We're staying right by a Rooster's on Friday night, so I should have a massive *ichigan worked up for Saturday morning before I head to Lane and High for some early libations. Not quite the T Bell type, but you get the picture.

Agree with getting up 14 it’s why I want the game in CJs hands, we can run late. Throw early and often.

I honestly want to see nothing but attacking in the pass game over the middle on the first few drives...nobody stops us when we do that and it is our clear strength. Harrison, EE and Fleming thrive on those routes, as does Stover. The occasional go route or outside throw works, but the setup is the throws in the middle of the field, not only for the pass but for the run game. *ichigan's pass defense in that area is not stellar either, so it makes since to attack them there. I hope we don't insist on trying to run the ball to start, it will not work. Air it out baby.

Illinois was without 2 starters in the secondary and scUM still struggled to throw the ball.

Their defense "succeeded" in stopping them because the offense runs through Corum. Everyone was lost the moment Corum got hurt, game isnt as close if he plays the whole game. He had 108 yards on 18 carries before he went out.

Average Ohio State/Michigan rivalry ticket is over $1,500 on secondary market, report says

If you're still looking for tickets to The Game on the secondary market, be prepared to break open your piggy bank.

TicketIQ said this year's average price for tickets to watch Ohio State play Michigan is 70% higher than the last time the game was played in Columbus in 2018.

The average for tickets on the secondary market is $1,583, up from $932 in 2018.

Lower-level seats start at $593 and go as high as $8,415 for seats at midfield, TicketIQ said.

Tickets will set you back for even the cheapest seats.

The cheapest this year is $380, up from $337 last year and $269 in 2018.

TicketIQ said ticket prices are generally higher when the rivalry is played in Columbus.

All this crap about "toughness" if they were so tough the run game wouldn't had immediately fallen completely apart the moment Corum became unavailable on Saturday.
For all their desire to be big mean scary tough man ball grrrrrrrrrrrrrr......all of their plays seem designed to take advantage of motion and leverage and slight trickery. You know.....the opposite of man ball toughness. Stacking the line on the right, then having the RG pull all the way out to the left to block on a counter run to the left doesn't scream toughness to me.

Things are going to look a lot different with Paris Johnson and Dawand Jones at tackle. There’s no Aiden Hutchinson to just bullrush his way into Stroud and Johnson sure as fuck isn’t going to allow that from anyone on their front.

Only concern at this point is Matthew Jones’ health and the interior against Ozzy Smith.

Yep. And add in Corum's ability to cut on a dime, that's how he gets most of his chunk plays. Not like he's out there running people over at will.

When the 3rd and 4th RBs who don't have that ability came in they couldn't get 3 yards a pop.

Dude has a great glove but he's old and a serious Punch and Judy hitter.

Oh yeah, and Fuck em!

Yep Corum made his hay on vision and cut backs. Even if he is back he's going to be way less effective if he can't suddenly cut when he sees something open up and he is reduced to trying to run like Derrick Henry
