This is also a huge game for Wolverines coach Jim Harbaugh. Since joining the program in 2015, the Wolverines have not been able to defeat Ohio State. You can bet Harbaugh will be tossing and turning tonight in anticipation of tomorrow’s game.
Ohio State owns the best offense in the nation, according to points scored per game. The Buckeyes are dropping 49.4 points per game. What will happen when they face Michigan’s defense? The Wolverines are allowing just 16.2 points against per game, which is 12th in the nation.
Ohio State owns the number one defense in the NCAA, so it could be a long day for Harbaugh and the rest of the Wolverines.
