2017 Michigan gameday #12: vs. Ohio State

It's game #12 for Michigan and that means it's time for one of the most anticipated matchups in all of sports:  the Buckeyes against the Wolverines in the 113th edition of The Game.

It's a rivalry that's seen plenty of highs and lows for the Maize and Blue, and lately it's been the latter with OSU on a five-game winning streak as they've been victorious for 14 of the 16 games since 2001.

A young and likely overmatched 2017 Michigan squad (8-3) doesn't seem likely to buck that trend against an Ohio State team (9-2) that's largely dominated its competition this season besides losses to Oklahoma and Iowa(!!!) and a nail-biter over Penn State.  Young QB Brandon Peters' health is on the minds of everyone cheering from Ann Arbor and beyond as Jim Harbaugh's team aims for an upset and something positive to take from this somewhat trying season.

The Wolverines were inches from a huge win last year, and while I don't know that it'll be quite that close in the waning minutes of this one, I do know that they have an ace up their sleeve:  TMM co-author and My Sports Obsession writer Jeff will be in attendance.  Could this be the factor that puts Michigan over the top?  Tune in at noon EST, just as Bo would have demanded.

Let's.

Go.

Blue.
