Mich and OSU put plenty in the NFL, both also have national titles in the last seven years(which I would've thought help possibly close some of the gap in their slower northern foot-speed via wider recruiting..but maybe not?), as to watch those two teams play today, was to watch a game that seemed to be in slow motion(especially the trench players foot-speed in contrast to SEC teams play), as only their skill players like Ginn and Edwards ooze of "southern speed", but both teams can be quite physical upfront, with OSU clearly "taking" the game to Mich after the early 1st qtr, sure wish I would've been near a computer after halftime kicked, as the "hunger" and "Big Mo" were all one-sided..as the in-gamers probably nailed OSU pretty good?
Sorry my friend Kodiak, but the Wolverines may get nailed in their greekhole again out west New Year's Day depending on the foe..if Chad Henne's OL keeps playing like Sonia Henie, it will equal another one in the heinie!
