The time has come. Stakes are high as ever for this iteration of The Game, as the Michigan Wolverines and Ohio State Buckeyes both have their sights on a Big Ten Championship and College Football Playoff berth. None of the previous 11 games have stopped either team, but someone is falling short this weekend.
Despite two undefeated records, however, both team bring very real weaknesses into Saturday’s clash, specifically on offense. While neither team have been critically punished by these deficiencies yet, they might end up being the difference this weekend. Put another way: whoever can make the most of their worst component will be in great shape for earning the victory.
