Michigan has not beaten Ohio State since 2012 and that history is not lost on quarterback Cade McNamara. “Games like (this) week are the reason you come to Michigan,” McNamara said to the media, “They are definitely games that quarterbacks dream of growing up as a kid. I’m excited and I know I’ll be prepared for that game.” McNamara doesn’t have great stats, but he doesn’t turn the ball over that often and he gets the ball to his playmakers. “He’ll be able to dissect what’s going on out there and get the best matchup possible,” starting offensive lineman Andrew Vastardis said to the media, “Like I’ve said all year, (Cade) trusts the guys around him. We trust everyone that’s on the field.”
Ohio State Buckeyes vs. Michigan Wolverines Prediction
Last week I had the over in the Ohio State game and just missed, as Michigan State did nothing on offense. That won’t be the case this week, as Michigan should put plenty of points on the board. We know that Ohio State is going to score a lot of points and this game should be a shootout. I will go over the total.
