3 hardest games on Michigan Football’s 2023 schedule

1. Ohio State at Michigan (Nov. 25)

I would caution Michigan football fans about being too overconfident when it comes to the Buckeyes. Pride comes before the fall.

I don’t think Michigan football will be overconfident in the slightest. They know that they can beat Ohio State now and that’s a powerful thing.

They also know they have a formula that the Buckeyes are struggling to solve, which was the exact opposite scenario when Don Brown and the U-M defense were being made to look foolish by Ryan Day.

Ohio State lost C.J. Stroud but Kyle McCord will be just fine. Actually, he’ll probably be the second-best quarterback in the Big Ten behind J.J. McCarthy. The defensive line is loaded and Marvin Harrison Jr. is the best player in college football.

Harrison Jr. isn’t a quarterback, yet he can change the game by himself and is one of the best receivers we’ve ever seen.

However, Michigan will be at home again and until the Buckeyes show they can stand up to the Wolverines in the trenches, it’s going to be tough to believe they’ll beat U-M.

McCarthy will be more seasoned, the offensive line should be elite, the defense will be too, led by Will Johnson — probably the one dude in college football that can cover Harrison Jr. — and the Wolverines have the best running back duo in the country.

It’s going to be an epic game. It’s also the most difficult.
