Final thoughts on Ohio State's 42-13 rout of Michigan: Bill Livingston (photos)

ANN ARBOR, Michigan – So, where is the switch located?

Did the sleet and rain short it out last Saturday in Columbus?

Did two quarterbacks, which the critics say means you have none, mess up the wiring?

1. I've never been a big believer in "The Switch." I don't think teams can flip this magical device all of a sudden.

I believe in incremental improvement, which builds confidence and can lead to quantum jumps in performance.

Still, so pronounced was the difference in Ohio State's play against Michigan State, at home, and Michigan, on the road, in its last two games that it makes you seek an alternative explanation to flipping the switch.
