Stroud may win the H and probably will be No. 1 overall pick.

Maybe, but listening to the USC ND game and the announcers are treating Caleb Williams as the "for sure" H winner. The fact USC is still in the playoff hunt and OSU is not probably makes a big difference, as others have stated.

Early on OSU dominated LOS. At one point in late second quarter OSU had 115 yards rushing to Michigan’s 1. But Michigan stayed in with the big pass plays and then turned around the running game in the second half.  Michigan had played a cupcake schedule.  So, I think there were doubters. No more. 5 TD’s in over 45 yards in a game ot that magnitude is impressive to say the least. is 


JH best win to date, imo.   Not easy to whip OSU in The Horseshoe.

Agree. OSU loaded up to stop the run and Michigan made them pay. Then, when OSU realized they had to respect the pass, the run game ate them up. Of course, OSU was probably pretty demoralized by then and the game situation dictated Michigan run the ball. With their best back still not 100% it could have been an issue if the game was still in doubt. Last year that defensive strategy would probably have worked. Michigan didn't have that much of a passing game. They do this year. Knowing that and using it when called upon is indeed indicative of a well coached team. Obviously that does require the ability to do it. This year, Michigan had the tools. The fear was that the moment might be too big for the QB and/or JH would not have enough confidence to let him air it out. Fortunately for Michigan, neither of those things happened.

It is indeed difficult to beat OSU at home. It has been 22 years since Michigan did so.
