I think it will be similar to the last 2 years where Michigan will have a lead for a large chunk of the game but Ohio State will remain uncomfortably close until the end. OSU puts some pressure on the defense early on but UM adjusts. McCord throws a huge INT late to Mikey with OSU driving to seal it for UM.
Michigan 31
Ohio 20
Go Blue!
November 23rd, 2023 at 8:16 PM ^
Also going with 31 - 20, Good Guys. Win the game. Go Blue !
November 23rd, 2023 at 8:28 PM ^
I'll join the 31-20 club. that's what I said earlier today when I talked to my dad
November 23rd, 2023 at 9:22 PM ^
Sure you did. Suuuuure
November 23rd, 2023 at 10:06 PM ^
If we establish a two score lead in the second half this home crowd is going to be screaming for blood. It's only going to get louder and more difficult for McCord to think. I see a repeat of 2021 but without the third and fourth down heroics by Stroud and the OSU receivers to sustain drives. Michigan runs away with it in the fourth quarter to win 42-17. Ryan Day walks home.
November 23rd, 2023 at 8:03 PM ^
35-24 Michigan. I think Rolder is going to be a surprise dude on D and on Offense I think Corum is gonna be an absolute beast. Look for Barner and Loveland to be very involved as well.
November 23rd, 2023 at 8:04 PM ^
OSU - 69
Michigan - 420

November 23rd, 2023 at 8:13 PM ^
I’m going to guess a different score than I did in the other thread, that way I can point to the one that is more accurate. 28-24 and Michigan scores 21 unanswered to win it.
November 23rd, 2023 at 8:13 PM ^
Michigan 26 - 24 Ohio State
November 23rd, 2023 at 8:13 PM ^
Michigan 31, Ohio State 20
November 23rd, 2023 at 8:15 PM ^
I told my wife earlier today before reading any of these scores Michigan 31 OSU 19
November 23rd, 2023 at 9:21 PM ^
Prove it
November 23rd, 2023 at 8:23 PM ^
48 - 19 Meechigan!
The trend of blue +3 and gray -4 continues for the second straight year.
Team 144 waits for Harbaugh to arrive in the locker room before singing The Victors after which Jim inks a $144mm contract: 12 years (one for each '23 win), $12mm a year ($1mm per regular season game).
November 23rd, 2023 at 9:42 PM ^
Exactly my thoughts when I predicted 48-19 yesterday.
November 23rd, 2023 at 10:52 PM ^
I’ll just add that when the clock hits 0:00 Stal Bombs appears on the video board and drops a huge piece of info about OSU with receipts. Charmin Soft starts crying on the field.
November 23rd, 2023 at 8:30 PM ^
I don't feel great without Harbaugh, but I have to go with Michigan 27 Ohio State 24.
November 23rd, 2023 at 8:33 PM ^
M 20 OSU 17. We'll have trouble moving consistently against a very good defense that probably won't play kamikaze like they did last year. But I think our DL will mostly get the better of their OL, which will limit the damage Harrison can do.

24-13 Michigan. Low scoring, defensive battle. Game looks ugly unless you are a fan of defense.
November 23rd, 2023 at 8:44 PM ^
34-7
UM runs a ton of misdirection in the run game. Jet sweeps, screens, DE slants plays to break tendency.
This opens up the offense to ground and pound with Blake and Mullings and UM to run a bunch of deep outs to TEs and receivers for JJ.
OSU struggles at to run the ball and McCord is not ready for the moment on the road against UM’s D-line.
November 23rd, 2023 at 9:39 PM ^
But what about play action passes?
November 23rd, 2023 at 10:21 PM ^
Absolutely a welcome break in tendency.

If Harbaugh was coaching, I think this is a Michigan blowout
Alas, given current circumstances, I think this game is uncomfortably close and tense throughout. In fact I think it goes into overtime. Michigan wins by a whisker, 27-24.
November 23rd, 2023 at 9:16 PM ^
It sucks. Id feel pretty good about this with Harbaugh out there. Hopefully Sherrone can pull it off
November 23rd, 2023 at 9:14 PM ^

While I'm happy with the end result, I'm also not because there's zero chance I will be alive to see the end.

I think if Michigan is going to win, it’ll be a much lower scoring game. UM 24, OSU 17
November 23rd, 2023 at 9:29 PM ^
I can’t predict who actually wins, because yes, I am scared I will jinx it.
35-31. I don’t know who wins, but 35-31. We more or less get the JJ we saw the majority of the season, but Henderson is a problem, MHJ will make his hay whether we like it or not, and I am concerned about whoever is lined up opposite Wallace, whether it is Egbuka or Stover.
That said, Blake is healthy. The Don is healthy. The Big House is going to be a deafening snake pit. If Harbaugh was on the sideline I’d feel comfortable picking Michigan. There is still a path for Michigan to win this going away, but he won’t be there, and I’m afraid that makes a tangible difference we all don’t want to acknowledge.
This is shaping up to be the biggest matchup in the rivalry’s history. These kinds of legacy defining matchups have tended to find their way to being in Columbus in the last two decades, but thank whatever god is out there that this is in Ann Arbor.

I feel like this is likely correct. Not having Harbaugh on the sideline probably hurts our offense more than anything.
