#7 Ohio State (10-1) @ # 21 Michigan (8-3)
It's time for the greatest rivalry in all sports across America. Win and you're in for the Rose Bowl. Lose and you're going to a nothing bowl game.
It's Ohio State:
against that team up north
Bo and Woody will be looking down smiling at this game.
Why Michigan will win this game.
It's all in the numbers.
0-3, 1495, 2
Chad Henne, Jake Long, and Mike Hart are currently 0-3 against the Buckeyes. There sole point of returning this year was to beat Ohio State. Come Saturday, it will be 1,495 days since the Wolverines last beat the Buckeyes. It is expected that 2 days after the game, Lloyd Carr will announce his resignation as the Head Coach for the Michigan Wolverines. There really isn't much more motivation than those three items needed to try to spark the entire team to win this game.
Why Ohio State will win this game.
Never satisfied, 4-0, Hart
Never satisfied has been the motto for Ohio State all throughout the season. No class in Ohio State history has ever gone 4-0 against that school up north since 1963. Mike Hart said last year, "I guarantee if we play them again, it would be a whole different game." That's really all the motivation they need.
STATS DO NOT MATTER IN THIS GAME. ONE COULD BE 0-11 GOING TO THIS GAME AND STILL WIN. IT'S ALL ABOUT HOW MUCH HEART YOU HAVE
