Michigan Football vs Ohio State: 5 Predictions for the Wolverines

Michigan will lose, but it will have a chance

As much as it pains me to say it, when it’s all said and done, I think the Buckeyes will emerge victorious Saturday.

I truly think O’Korn is better than he looked last week, but I don’t think he will be good enough to win the game.

Barrett is an elite player and he has been a nightmare for Michigan football. He will be the difference in the game. He will make just enough plays and convert just enough third downs to turn the tide.

Guys like Peppers, Jourdan Lewis, Jake Butt and Chris Wormley will play well, this team and these seniors want it bad and they will play like it.

The Michigan defense will redeem itself in part from last season and will keep the Wolverines in it until the bitter end.

On the same note, I think the offense, thanks to a trick or two from Harbaugh, will put some points on the board, while at the same time, trying, at least a little bit, to take the air out of the ball.

Urban Meyer will want to turn this into a track meet, while Harbaugh wants to make it a back-alley fist fight.

If it’s an old-school slobberknocker, Michigan football has a chance. UM is good enough to turn it into that, but on the road, I’m not sure the Wolverines will be able to get over the hump.

I have never wanted to be wrong more in my life, but my biggest prediction is that we will all be proud of team 137 when the clock hits triple zero.
