Prediction

Michigan needs Henne and Hart to play well if they want to beat Ohio State. Both players are questionable, but as seniors, you know they will play even if they are not 100%. I think the Michigan defense is still struggling with speed, as they have a hard time defending against the pass. They allowed Appalachian State to pass for 227 yards, Oregon to pass for 293 yards, Northwestern to get 289 yards, Purdue to get 253, and Wisconsin to get 245 in the air. The team has allowed 191 yards/game in the air and 143 yards/game on the ground. So assuming Michigan's offense will have trouble, due to the injuries to Henne and Hart, and because their defense will struggle with the pass, I think Ohio State will win. I am not saying Michigan can't win, but they just seem to have too much going against them. Ohio State could lose if they turnover the ball (see last week) or if the defense has another bad game. Look for Robiskie to have a 100 yards in the air, and Beanie should get 100-150 yards on the ground. Go Bucks!
