Let them wallow in it. Michigan did not shock the world, Ryan Day and Chip Kelly did. And they corrected the mistakes and righted the ship.

I’ve seen enough. No-offense Michigan is better than at least nine of these teams.

As the cliche' goes, you can't make this stuff up.

Michigan is built to beat OSU, but clearly OSU is built to compete and win it all with the skill position talent they have.

And if they do, that further legitimizes Sherrone and what he accomplished in Columbus.
Don’t worry about a recruiting uptick. OSU can’t recruit better than it does already. Aside from OSU getting to brag about winning it all, which would stink, it’s not like Michigan wouldn’t have a response back.

Seeing this makes our win even more impressive. How did we manage to stop smith for a full game?

More diverse coverages on the backend, and way better pressure from the DL on the frontend. Watching the playoff games has really exposed for me how spoiled we've been with our defense the last 4 years. We casually and routinely do things that are simply beyond the capacity of most teams.

Yup. Day and OSU tried to beat Michigan with TOUGHNESS and man ball and played to our strengths and lost the game.
Yep. It was a failure in strategy. Nothing more. As someone here said, Biff called Marty McFly chicken in 2021, and he can't get away from it.
