When this rivalry game played out last year it was the Ohio St Buckeyes routing the Michigan Wolverines 42-7 as a 20-point home favorite. Ohio St ran all over the Michigan defense for 232 yards on the ground and had 184 yards passed through the air. Michigan could only generate 198 offensive yards in defeat. Michigan is 5-6 on the season and is in desperate need of a win to become bowl eligible. Michigan has lost 5 straight games to division 1 opponents. The Wolverines were routed last week at Wisconsin 45-24 as Wisconsin pounded them for 469 yards in the game. Freshman quarterback Tate Forcier had his most accurate day passing the football against division 1 opponents hitting on 20 of 26 for 188 yards two touchdowns and only 1 interception. The freshman signal caller has passed for 12 touchdowns on the season with 6 interceptions and he hasn’t had a multi interception game all season. Defensively the Wolverines have been horrific allowing their opponents to scored 35 or more points over their past 4 games. They have sunk near the bottom in the league in total defense sitting at 10th in conference allowing 400 yards per game to their opponents. Ohio St is locked and secured for a Rose Bowl berth after defeating Iowa last week 27-24 in overtime. The 24 points were allowed against an Iowa team sporting a freshman quarterback making his first ever start on the road. Ohio St allowed 233 yards through the air to Iowa and benefited from 3 Hawkeye turnovers. Buckeye quarterback the erratic Terrelle Pryor completed 14 of 17 passes but they only went for 93 yards. Junior running back Brandon Saine checked in with a nice game last week with 103 yards on 11 carries in victory. The Buckeye’s have a solid defense this season that surrenders just 12 points a game. They are the top defense in the league allowing just 258 yards per game and 4.1 yards per play against average this season. Forcier will have to be very accurate with his throws as the Buckeyes lead the Big Ten conference with 19 interceptions in 11 games.
