The last time Ohio State was an underdog at home was to mishitgan in 2004. Buckeyes won easily 37-21.
Urban Meyers has been an underdog 6 times since he's been at Ohio State. The Urb is 6-0 in those games.

Probably will come down to who gets out coached!

In my opinion, OSU has been overrated all season and have been totally exposed the last few games. This should finally be Michigan's year (law of averages?). OSU has been floundering much of the second half of the season because they can't run the ball. Their "O" line is terrible. Their secondary gets burnt so much they should be called "toast." Michigan is 0-6 against Meyer's Buckeye's but if they can't beat a young inexperienced Buckeye team this year it's gonna be quite awhile before they will find the win column. Note: When the QB is a running threat he has to be accounted for by the defense, when he's basically a non runner it's nothing but an asset for the defense and Michigan's defense is already very stout! I think you can forget about the performances both teams had last Saturday (against Maryland and Indiana) as an indicator for the results of this match-up, because regardless of what was said, there's no way the players weren't thinking a little ahead about their match-up this Saturday. I can't stand Harbaugh, but if I was a betting on the game I'd have to go with the Wolverines who will easily beat the spread. JMO!

The Ohio State University has a couple intangibles going for it in this rivalry game. First there is always a dozen or so Ohio players on the roster of the team up north. They are all butt hurt because The Ohio State University didn't recruit them because they aren't as good as The Ohio State University's recruits. So they play with emotion for a quarter or two and then that peters out.
Second, most of the roster was in Middle School the last time The Ohio State University lost this game. It is kinda one of the Three Great Truths. Lake Erie has great smallmouth, St. Clair is better, The Ohio State University will beat the team up north.
Finally, this game is being played in the 'shoe. I has been 2550 days and counting since Michigan beat The Ohio State University. And Michigan still sucks.

If Haskins can/will make quick throws to his receivers that will help OSU in two ways, it will slow down the pass rush and open up the running game. I don't think Michigan can stop a quick passing game. When OSU gets in the Red Zone, and if Haskins is reluctant to run the ball then they need to bring in Tate and open things up.
I still don't think OSU's defense can prevent big plays the whole game. Should be a decent game but my heart says one thing and my mind says another. Even if OSU wins I don't think they deserve a spot in the National Championship Quartet. Schiano and the defensive backs coach need to be sent packing after this season.

Smart man right here and I completely agree 100%. I’ve been wondering why they don’t play uptempo way more often than they do with quick throws and the like. That opens up the rushing game and could expose Michigan’s D some. I think Tate Martell gets more snaps in this game as well to make the read option a viable alternative for Michigan to have to defend as well.
Go Bucks! My Cougs need their help ;)
If Harbaugh and Michigan can't win this game with the team he's got this time around then he's not gonna beat Ohio State period...it's just not gonna happen...
