So let's go talk about Ohio State at Michigan, Chris Ballas.

From the Wolverine.com, the Michigan Insider, is standing by on the Meyer guest sign.

How are you doing, Chris?

Hey, Bill, doing great.

Happy Thanksgiving, brother.

Yeah, same to you.

Happy Thanksgiving weekend, everybody, with Michigan and Ohio State on Saturday.

As you have dove into everything connected to this game, I saw Clayton

Safie's tweet that the last 20 games at the big house between Ohio State and Michigan, 10 wins

of peace. When you look at this game in Ann Arbor, when you look at Michigan season as a whole,

when you look at Ohio State, anything that's

changing your mind about how this game can play out?

Not really, Bill.

Other than I think I'm with you, I think it can definitely be a fourth quarter game.

And what people don't remember is that a couple years ago it was a fourth quarter game.

If they make a couple more plays, that thing comes right down to the wire. They left a couple years ago it was a fourth quarter game if they make a couple more

plays that thing comes right down to the wire they left a couple plays out there on a fourth and one

and the play before that when tarreek black went out of bounds instead of fighting for our first

down so it's going to come down to it's going to come down to who makes the big place and really turnovers for Michigan

and Red Zone defense is the way I see it. I think that, as Jim Harbos has said all week, they're going to make some plays. Ohio State's offense is too good to not score. You're not going to stop on every drive. What you've got to do, you can't get into a shootout with them either. You've got to pick your spots, but you've got to control the ball,

and you've got to make them score in the red zone, which is something that they haven't been great at. I think they're 20th and 30th in the country, I think, in red zone touchdown percentage. So it can be done, and we've seen Nebraska do it. We've seen Penn State do it. So, but it, really, Bill, for Michigan to play its best game in this game rather than layover or curl up in the fetal position when things go wrong. And I think that's what Michigan fans want to see. I don't expect Michigan to win, Bill, but I do think that it's going to be a good game. And you won't see them panic if they get down or if things go poorly. We've seen this team has some resolve and when it comes to adversity, they handle it pretty well.

List the Michigan strengths that could power them to a win on Saturday at the big house.
