The Game returns after not being played last year due to a COVID-19 outbreak within the Michigan program, and the stakes could not be any higher for both teams.
Ohio State and Michigan both are sitting at 10-1 on the year, and this game will not only decide the East division in the Big Ten, but it will be a big factor for the winning team in the College Football Playoff. The Buckeyes are now sitting at No. 2, so a win against Michigan will only boost their resume, and if the No. 5 Wolverines could defeat Ohio State then they would most likely move into the top four in the playoff rankings.
It’s going to be a tall task for Michigan this week though, it has not defeated Ohio State since 2011, when the Wolverines won, 40-34. The Buckeyes are playing strong at the right time as well, and they boast the No. 1 offense in the entire nation with quarterback C.J. Stroud playing some great football.
Here are three keys for Michigan to defeat Ohio State on Saturday.
