two completely different teams.
the key to beating tOSU over the years is stopping elite WR's and often a mobile QB (CJ is not that though), and on top of that they have had home run RB or two to take it the distance. They usually have also had some elite edge rushers who can take over the game. So beating them has needed elite DBs and speed to contain QB runs. Also need OTs to contain their edge.
the keys to beating UMich now requires front 7 to contain their run game and while they did not have mobile QB, now their current QB is a runner. playing UMich is mainly a game in the trenches.
bottom line is that we need to be able to play two different types of football against these teams.
Best,
Bill
