How well can Michigan contain Marvin Harrison Jr?

If there is one dude that can wreck the game for Michigan football, it’s Marvin Harrison Jr.

We saw what he’s done all season in big moments. He scored a touchdown against Penn State to put that game away and there isn’t another play like him in college football.

I had confidence in Will Johnson’s ability to slow him down and still do. However, Johnson and the entire secondary struggled last week against Maryland. It was weird seeing Johnson get beat deep.

The former five-star cornerback is going to have to have the game of his life. He shut down Harrison last season or at least contained him and surely, there is going to be some help over the top.

Kyle McCord isn’t C.J. Stroud. Harrison has bailed him out a bunch this season and if Michigan can make it as tough as possible to get the ball to Harrison, Ohio State will have to rely on others to beat the Wolverines, which is exactly what they want.
