Summary

In this episode, on the eve of "The Game," we break down over-unders and offer our predictions for the matchup.

First, we look at how Michigan's offense could fare against the Buckeyes' top-ranked defense. We discuss what a fair expectation is for Shea Patterson and the Wolverines' passing game against Ohio State's secondary and which players might emerge in that matchup. Then, we look at Michigan's potential in the run game, underclassmen getting touches and how Michigan goes about trying to stop Chase Young.

We then switch to the defensive side of the ball, looking at Michigan's ability to get sacks adn force turnovers, the Wolverines' ability to slow down JK Dobbins and Justin Fields, Ohio State's big-play potential and more.

Finally, we close with our overall prediction for the game.

0:59.5	13. You went five of 13. So I'm two ahead of you out of 127 so I actually really

1:35.9	storyline here. Just to give you guys a little bit, kind of reset this game for everybody.
1:41.8	First one, 299.5 passing yards plus rushing yards for
