00:00The game takes place at 12 noon today in a hated rivalry.

00:03It is Ohio State and Michigan, Ohio State on the road,

00:06roughly a double digit favorite today.

00:08But Michigan has had their number the past couple of years.

00:11Can they have their number one more time today, coach?

00:14I like, I like that.

00:15I like the points in Michigan.

00:17One, I mean, Ryan Day is 0-4 against Michigan.

00:20The receivers, it's questionable how healthy they're going to be.

00:24And I think that impact, that it's going to make some impression on the head.

00:28The head coach has got to be relaxed.

00:30Because if he's uptight about this game, and I think he is,

00:33because you don't want to lose four in a row, five in a row to Michigan.

00:37So I think it's going to be a tight ball game.

00:39Ohio State's going to have to run the ball a little bit more.

00:41It's going to keep it close.

00:42But I think Ohio State has enough to win the football game.

00:46But they have got to make sure that they keep pressure off that quarterback.

00:50You know, their quarterback has not had a lot of pressure.

00:52If Michigan could put some pressure on that quarterback,

00:55that's one thing Sagan has not faced all year.

00:58But I think Ohio State will win a tight ball game.

01:01And Ryan Day will be able to loosen up a little bit after that game.

01:05Coach, I want to take the Bryce Underwood side for Michigan,

01:08the quarterback for the Wolverines.

01:11He's going up against a defense that has held 10 straight opponents

01:14under 100 yards rushing.

01:16And they've only given up one team to throw for over 200 yards.

01:20What can this offense do with Bryce Underwood

01:23to potentially put some pressure on Ohio State's defense?

01:27Well, you know, the biggest thing they can do is to have their defense play great.

01:31You know, what can the offense do?

01:33What can they do to help him?

01:34One, don't try to go out there and win it in one play.

01:37Be willing to punt.

01:38Be willing to make safe decisions.

01:41If your defense is playing well, if the game stays close,

01:45remember a close, tight ball game at home at Michigan goes in their favor.

01:50Because you talk about being uptight.

01:52I promise you, if the head coach is uptight, I think the whole sideline's uptight.

01:56So the key is defense play well.

01:58Don't force the quarterback to make decisions early in the game

02:02that he doesn't need to make.
