Denzel Burke Guarantees Ohio State Victory
And to take it a step further, he dropped this gem:
However, Burke wasn't done there.
Instead, he would go on to tell the media that 'nothing' about the Wolverines stood out to him on film.
Thanks for adding to the bulletin board material for Saturday, Denzel!

He'll be hiding in the parking lot.
November 22nd, 2023 at 5:38 PM ^
he's in the Urban dictionary under "fugazi"

Bench clearing brawl. Ryan Day will regret he got Harbaugh suspended, cause now he's got to square off against Moore.
November 22nd, 2023 at 3:56 PM ^
Circumstantially it feels like that entire program really believes that sign stealing is the only thing stopping them. That seems too good to be true but I think they truly believe that.
November 22nd, 2023 at 3:57 PM ^
some people just don't know when to keep it shut
November 22nd, 2023 at 3:58 PM ^
Keep adding pressure on yourself, bucks.
November 22nd, 2023 at 3:58 PM ^
This is a pretty soft "guarantee". The headline says it, but he did not. Still, I welcome Ohio State showing up and just being themselves, because that will get them nowhere on Saturday.
November 22nd, 2023 at 3:58 PM ^
That’s perfect. Keep talking.
November 22nd, 2023 at 3:58 PM ^
Honestly it's not a terrible quote. OP is overselling it. What's the kid supposed to say, "we're dead in the water?"
November 22nd, 2023 at 4:00 PM ^
Ahh so he's going to play center and/or guard and block our 5 NFL DTs (3 first rounders!?) Then?

"I'm très émotif about this battle, man. We're all about beating That Kingdom Up North and winning the Hundred Year War. We're going to go out there and get it done for King Charles VI and France. The previous engagement, they only won because of mud slowing our cavalry charges and them stealing our messenger pigeons. I've been reading scrolls about the British longbowmen and nothing about them really stands out on parchment. They haven't outflanked anybody so far."
D'Enzel Burque, French cavalry officer, prior to the Battle of Agincourt.

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.
November 22nd, 2023 at 4:07 PM ^
He's got a WIIIIIIDE OPEN RECEIVER!!
November 22nd, 2023 at 4:08 PM ^
Ok cool. Hook’em
November 22nd, 2023 at 5:12 PM ^
Ok cool. Go Blue
November 22nd, 2023 at 4:13 PM ^
From our practice film from Catapult Sports?
November 22nd, 2023 at 4:15 PM ^
He said from all of our practice tapes, their prep has been really good this year
November 22nd, 2023 at 4:16 PM ^
I love it.
November 22nd, 2023 at 4:19 PM ^
Maybe Thamel let them know that they will have their fans officiating the game again and it will be "leaked" after the game when it doesn't matter.
Bold statement Burke. Bring it.
November 22nd, 2023 at 4:19 PM ^
Curb.
Stomp.
The
Buckeyes
November 22nd, 2023 at 4:26 PM ^
Hate to see it… 😎
November 22nd, 2023 at 4:30 PM ^
Is this like when Ohio State hung 100 on us?
November 22nd, 2023 at 5:28 PM ^
*100
* rules and conditions apply. No more than 27 points may be hung during any one game. May not be valid in the states of Ohio and Michigan. See official rules for details.
November 22nd, 2023 at 4:36 PM ^
I only know Burke from watching his “concerned look” as Michigan running backs go by him.
November 22nd, 2023 at 4:38 PM ^
Nothing will stand out for him on Saturday either. But there will probably be some tight ends and pulling linemen standing over him.
November 22nd, 2023 at 4:39 PM ^
I've yet to find a Denzel I don't hate.
November 22nd, 2023 at 4:45 PM ^
As they say in the south: oh, bless your heart, you poor thing. Don't worry Burke, you'll soon learn all about it..
November 22nd, 2023 at 4:46 PM ^
"Instead, he would go on to tell the media that 'nothing' about the Wolverines stood out to him on film."
I felt the same way when I saw "Howard The Duck" all those years ago. Nothing stood out when I saw that film.
Hopefully, they are unpleasantly surprised by things that they didn't see at all when they arrive in Ann Arbor.
November 22nd, 2023 at 4:47 PM ^
Was he watching film with Terry Glenn?
November 22nd, 2023 at 4:53 PM ^
This is how little I care about and pay attention to AN ohio state...I don't know who this guy is.
November 22nd, 2023 at 4:57 PM ^
Maybe this might stand out for Burke, #10
November 22nd, 2023 at 4:59 PM ^
going to need that JJ Saturday !
November 22nd, 2023 at 5:13 PM ^
FIRST DOWN!!
November 22nd, 2023 at 5:00 PM ^
So Denzel Burke doesn't watch film? Good to know.
November 22nd, 2023 at 5:08 PM ^
Nothing stands out to him because he's seen it so many times on our practice film.
November 22nd, 2023 at 5:08 PM ^
I guarantee pain.
November 22nd, 2023 at 5:14 PM ^
That was the least confident "I guarantee we will win" I have ever heard.
November 22nd, 2023 at 5:30 PM ^
Yeah, good luck with that.
November 22nd, 2023 at 5:45 PM ^
Sounds like Catapult sent them the wrong film
November 22nd, 2023 at 5:48 PM ^
I don't think teams need more motivation for this game but it's always weird to me when some guy just talks shit for no good reason. Like, I get guaranteeing a victory but if nothing about one of best teams in the country stood out to you it more sounds like you are just sort of lazy and dumb. You can dismiss a team and say "I don't think they'll be able to pass/run on us like they have against other teams" but saying you don't see anything at all isn't really an insult.
November 23rd, 2023 at 8:57 AM ^
Agreed. "Nothing stood out to me about the works of Bach" is more of a self-own than a dis.
November 22nd, 2023 at 5:59 PM ^
That's great! I'm glad he believes in himself, because his coach clearly doesn't. If Ryan Day believed in Denzel Burke, there'd be no need for this pathetic smear campaign.
November 22nd, 2023 at 6:00 PM ^
Michigan's response: Who is Denzel Burke?
November 22nd, 2023 at 6:05 PM ^
Awesome, if we didn’t have a chip on our shoulder, we should now
November 22nd, 2023 at 6:07 PM ^
Terry Glenn, David Boston, and (ugh) Walter Smith have entered the chat.
I'm fairly certain Denzel Burke has more fans in Ann Arbor than in C-bus.
November 22nd, 2023 at 6:17 PM ^
Quick, someone go to Walmart and buy a hundred vhs tapes, get this recorded and make sure they're distributed to the dorms.
Now all we have to do is wait for Biakabutuka walks into coach's office and demand the ball. Easy win.
