My 3 Keys to Victory Against Michigan.

  1. Don't throw the ball to Michigan DBs

  2. Don't throw the ball to Michigan LBs

  3. Don't throw the ball to Michigan DL

I guess you could also include "don't fumble the ball" too, but everything else is secondary to giving the defense a pick 6, a field goal shot or at the very least a drive killer on the opponents side of the field when it's already going to be hard to move the ball.

Nice list. I'm looking for a little more creativity on 1st down than going up the middle for no gain. It's amazing how the offense survived so many 2nd and longs against tOSU. I think the D should take care of itself. May even possibly score.

Michigan has a very tough defensive line. My primary concern is they'll constantly push the OL back into Raiola and put him under pressure all game long. Raiola under pressure = fumbles and INTs.

An offensive adjustment that seems to separate Mehringer’s strategy from Johnson’s is to not only get the ball out of Riaola’s hand faster by limiting his number of reads, but to immediately toss it out of bounds if those reads aren’t open. Less time = less pressure. That strategy is probably a focus going up against Michigan. Their secondary is solid across the board, but our receiving corp ain’t too shabby either.
