Episode notes
Style Clash Defines The Game
- Ohio State and Michigan are built to win differently, creating a style matchup that decides The Game.
- Michigan leans physical in the trenches while Ohio State's edge is speed and outside passing, making late-game closeness likely.
Ohio State Should Attack Outside
- Be yourself: Ohio State must attack the perimeter and downfield rather than try to win a trench battle.
- Target Michigan's safeties and use Smith, Tate and Max Clare to exploit space outside.
A&M Road Form Matters Most
- Texas A&M's road offense has been exceptional and matches up well with Texas' recent defensive struggles.
- A&M's pass rush and ability to score on the road make them a favorable pick in Austin.
