Ohio State vs. Michigan: 3 reasons the Wolverines could give the Buckeyes problems

Ohio State has looked fantastic so far, but it’s headed into a tough setting Saturday. Here’s three reasons Michigan could pose an issue.

Michigan is finding its stride

It’s a little too late to win the East Division, get to Indy, or find its way into the College Football Playoff, but this Wolverine squad is different than the one that got beat to a pulp by Wisconsin. It’s much better than the one that struggled against Army.

The offense is starting to click, the defense is looking like Don Brown defenses of the past, and the play-calling now seems to mesh with the talent and abilities of the playmakers on the team.

Earlier in the year I say Ohio State would have given Michigan a shiner to the eye as large as the Big House itself. Now, it has the look and feel of a donnybrook that’s going to be a Lord of the Rings Journey.
