Michigan Football: 5 bold predictions for Shea Patterson in 2019
Patterson came back to beat the Buckeyes and he will do it
While Patterson may have left for the NFL draft if his stock was higher, I believe that he wanted to come back to beat Ohio State. He was born into this rivalry and it would be hard to leave after a mistake-prone effort that saw the Wolverines go down 62-39.
Michigan was right there at halftime, down by just five points, but a critical interception by Patterson and the Wolverines inability to convert on third downs was a killer.
As we all know, that game defines the career of a Michigan quarterback and if Patterson wants to be known as one of the great quarterbacks in the program, he will need to beat Ohio State.
The Buckeyes may be getting Justin Fields eligible for next season, which will make Ohio State even more formidable, yet it will also be Ryan Day’s first season as head coach and his first Michigan-Ohio State game.
