It seems Michigan has taken to that finally and is trying to do the same. Ohio State has owned this rivalry as of late largely because of talent, but also because it sleeps, eats, and breathes hating all things maize and blue in preparation, drills, mindset, and more - every single day of the year. More than that, it seems the players are more or less saying the right things to make you think that this is now more than just another game. There’s a sign in the weight room that asks, “What have you done to beat Ohio State today?” There is also a 9-on-7 drill called the “Beat Ohio” drill.

You have to believe one or both will win some of the battles on the edge, the anchors of the line just have to neutralize their effectiveness and win their side more often than not. If those two are wreaking havoc against Nicholas Petit-Frere and Dawand Jones, it could force some misfires, tackles for loss, and mistakes from Stroud. Both have a blend of speed and power and are have accumulated 10 sacks apiece, tied for No. That’s because the Wolverines have arguably the best defensive end tandem in college football with Aidan Hutchinson and David Ojabo. Stroud, the tackles will be tested more than they have so far this year. While the Ohio State offensive line has been very good this year and kept a clean pocket for quarterback C.J.
