Michigan moved to 4-0 (1-0) on the season with a 28-10 win at Purdue. The Wolverines were actually trailing 10-7 at the half, but they used the halftime to go have a good schvitz, and then they came out in the second half and treated Purdue like the Boilermakers deleted everything on Michigan’s DVR. An entire season of Blue Bloods gone.
Ohio State and Michigan both hosted service academies this past weekend, which gave us an interesting look at how the Big Ten’s only two megapowers handle the triple option. The Buckeyes beat Army 38-7 and the Wolverines defeated Air Force 29-13. Ohio State struggled to lead Army by 10 at the half, while the Falcons went…
Michigan (2-0) hosted the Cincinnati Bearcats (1-1) this past Saturday and despite a bit of a worrisome effort at times, the Wolverines pulled away late for a 36-14 win. Michigan led just 17-14 late in the third before making this one a laugher. Though, to be fair, some of it was nervous laughter. The Wolverines won this game because…
Wow, what a weekend for the Big Ten. The conference went 10-2 outside of conference play in Week 1 of the 2017 college football season. Even the two losses by Purdue and Rutgers weren’t any type of embarrassing losses. We here at The-Ozone finally sat down around the table in the conference room to discuss our first Big Ten…
The Michigan Wolverines looked pretty good this weekend in their 33-17 win over Florida, so we’ll keep this short. Just kidding, there’s still plenty to talk about. First, I feel like we need to begin with a couple of caveats. The first caveat is for Michigan fans — this game was against a team with 10 players suspended, including…
Chip Minnich and Shannon Sommers are back with the Silver Bullets Podcast. Formerly known as the Men of the Scarlet and Gray Podcast, the Silver Bullets Podcast will bring you the same great interviews and discussions as before. For those that weren’t listeners of the MotSaG Podcast, there were weekly discussions…
Michigan football must replace 10 starters on defense from last season, but I think quarterback Wilton Speight is still the biggest question mark for the Wolverines headed into 2017. For much of the season last year, Speight was at the top of the passer rating charts in the Big Ten. A shoulder/collarbone injury…
For a sportswriter, summer is a time for trying to come up with stuff to write without having to actually work too hard to get it done. This means that you can expect me to have a Mailbag in the next week or so, as that is always easy content. Sometimes, however, the Mailbag comes to me. “If Urban loses two in a row…
How far Ohio State football goes in 2017 will depend in large part on how well the best players on their schedule play when facing off against the Buckeyes. With a schedule that features 10 Power 5 opponents, there are plenty of good players to worry about. Oklahoma, Penn State, and Michigan could all end up in the…
The Ohio State football team begins their season on Thursday August 31 in Bloomington, Indiana. They end the regular season in Ann Arbor, Michigan on November 25. Between those two games are 10 other contests of varying degrees of difficulty, and it’s time to get those variances ranked in order. The Buckeyes will…
