Michigan won't get the chance to find out.

Michigan's "weak secondary?" i suppose one could get that impression by just going strictly by passing yards allowed per game, but let's drill down.
Passing yards allowed per attempt:
ohio state: 5.5
Michigan: 5.5
Pass efficiency defense (national rank):
ohio state: 96.64 (#6)
Michigan: 101.08 (#11)
The passing yards allowed figure is deceptive because Michigan opponents have thrown WAY more passes than osu opponents have (partially because osu's run defense allows almost 70 more ypg than does Michigan's). However, normalize the data and the stats are almost identical. Michigan's pass D is highly underrated.
Michigan wins by 6.
GO BLUE!

Ohio State's offense is going to exploit Michigan's weak secondary. I'm calling it Buckeyes by 10, 24-14. GO BUCKS!! Beat _ichigan!
O-H!

Yes I'm from Ohio, but I still think it'll be OSU by 6.

I'd like to see Michigan win, but playing at Ohio State will be tough.
