Pressure Kyle McCord

It’s going to be important for Michigan football to make Ohio State as one-dimensional as possible. The Buckeyes running game is really good and you can’t discount TreyVeon Henderson.

The former five-star running back has gone over 100 yards in four of his last five games. That has given Ohio State the balance that they will need in this game.

But more than anything, McCord is going to have to deliver a big game against Michigan. The Buckeyes offensive line hasn’t been great and Michigan football should be able to take advantage of that.

The pass rush was the key to defensive effort two years ago. Ohio State has moved the ball well in each of the past two years, but Michigan has gotten stops and made enough impact plays to win the game. That’s key and if the pass rush wins the day, Michgan should win three in a row.
