Preview: Ohio State and Michigan put their undefeated records on the line as the Buckeyes seek revenge in college football’s biggest game of the regular season.
Only two teams in college football rank in the top 10 nationally in both scoring offense and scoring defense. Those two teams will meet on the field in Ohio Stadium on Saturday.
While Ohio State’s defense was its clear weakness in last year’s matchup, the Buckeyes have been much better defensively this year, entering The Game ranked seventh in yards allowed per play and ninth in yards allowed per game . Ohio Stadium is sure to draw a massive crowd on Saturday, given the stakes of this year’s game, and Ryan Day says the home crowd can play a role in helping propel the Buckeyes to victory.
Corum could make a run at the Heisman Trophy if he’s able to play on Saturday, as he ranks in the top four nationally this season in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns and has been the biggest star of the Wolverines’ 11-0 start to the season.
this week. “I think when you put on the film, and the film speaks for itself, you’ve gotta make that decision of who's the best guy in this moment to go put on the field.” A five-star recruit, McCarthy has shown playmaking ability as both a passer and a runner, completing 66.8 percent of his passes this year for 1,952 yards and 14 touchdowns with only two interceptions while rushing for 213 yards and three touchdowns. He was better as a passer against weaker competition early in the season than he’s been down the stretch, however, as he’s thrown for 208 yards or fewer in six of Michigan’s last seven games.
Led by a pair of multi-year starters in left tackle Ryan Hayes and right guard Zak Zinter and one of the nation’s best centers in Virginia transfer Olusegun Oluwatimi, the Wolverines’ offensive line has shown capable of dominating opponents in the run game – as it did against Ohio State last year – while only allowing 12 sacks in the pass game.
