Summary
The Game is here. Michigan will host Ohio State this weekend at the Big House with a chance to make it five straight over the Buckeyes — and a potential College Football Playoff berth and Big Ten Championship Game spot are on the line, too.
Behind Enemy Lines welcomes Patrick Murphy of 247Sports' Bucknuts to break down OSU. Is Julian Sayin as talented as the numbers suggest? What's the latest on Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate? And what has made Matt Patricia's first season as DC so successful?
We'll answer all that and more as Michigan prepares for the biggest game of the season.
