Michigan football is attempting to do something it hasn’t done since 2000, beat Ohio State in Columbus.
The Wolverines and Buckeyes enter The Game undefeated and ranked in the top five for the first time since 2006. Michigan is still riding the wave of beating Ohio State last season in Ann Arbor, 42-27. The maize and blue were more physically dominant in the trenches last season, and Michigan was able to get the win.
Both teams enter Saturday a little banged up with a possibility of key players not being able to suit up. But both Michigan and Ohio State have been preparing for this moment all season, and the winner will be headed to Indianapolis for the Big Ten Championship.
Here are three things that I believe Michigan will need to do in order to defeat Ohio State for the second-straight year.
