did he explain that michigan will be out first game? just like every year with the big ten. they should call the big game. the whos going to get blown out of the cfp first bowl.
The biggest fact that everyone overlooks.....Michigan has been dominating the second half all year long. Their halftime adjustments have been phenomenal. They have outscored their opponents in the second half something like 140 - 20......
I only hear Michigan fans saying it to be honest. But other than Illinois, you have to go back to the Iowa game to find a team that scored more than 3 pts in the 2nd half vs Michigan. They are WILDLY good in the 2nd half. 2nd half points scored by: Indiana: 0 Penn State: 3 Michigan State: 0 Rutgers: 0 Nebraska: 0 Ohio State: 3
Let's face it, no matter how good Michigan plays out who they beat, they will never get the full credit. They have been the best second half team in the country for weeks now but no mention of it at all.
Thanks for shouting out how great Sainristil's PBU was vs OSU. One of the best plays I've seen from a Wolverine in years. Stover wasn't even his guy to cover and ran across the field to make that play. Insane PBU.
Your deep take on what Harbaugh did to turn Michigan around is spot on and it can't be overstated. The fact that he has gone against what everyone thought Michigan needed and instead made them into what they are. For a very, very long time Michigan had no real identity. In the 80s and 90s they were so dominant over Ohio State because they had an identity and they came into The Game with balls every time no matter their record. That's why in 95 and 96 they beat back to back ranked #2 OSU teams that were incredibly talented (Michigan was ranked 18th and 21st iirc). Those teams understood that, while their season was middling, it can all be resolved by winning this one game. Braylon Edwards talked earlier in the week how there are no excuses for losing just because a guy is injured (Corum). Players have to step up. And literally the entire team stepped up. Sanristil's PBU and just play in general, the O line smashing in the second half, Edwards playing with a broken thumb and taking hand-offs in his opposite hand and still looking like a track star, CB torching the secondary all over the field, and JJ stepping up into the role he was expected to be all year. Great players, when given the chance, show their greatness. This didn't feel like a rivalry for a long time. Now it's back again. This rivalry has always gone in streaks. Seems like a new one has started.
I think it will maybe level out a little at every other year maybe. Next year it looks like UM will have the advantage, but Day needs to mold the defense into a secondary tough defense like what Urban had.
Man f*** them and they fake ass fans that wanted khaki pants fired . 2-6 still trash against OSU 61-24 overall 3-9 against MSU and osu 2-13 against AP top 10 man these fans hilarious
OMG Joel ! That breakdown of the Buckeye program, Ryan Day and where they go from here was special. It's a must watch/listen for all their fans, and what makes you the best. Cheers and great job as always.
I'm a new Michigan fan who only became a fan because I enrolled at the University in 2019. And I am STOKED, extremely excited. I can't imagine how excited long-time fans are.
Excited isn't really the word we would use. We are excited for everything coming still but as far as feeling I would say Proud. I am extremely proud and feel happy for Harbaugh and our team. Harbaugh deserves this and it shows how amazing of a coach he really is. Everyone doubted him including me at some point in the last year's but if he would of left we wouldn't of been able to see this payoff. So welcome to Michigan and remember one thing we always forget as Michigan fans....those who stay will be champions
Welcome, bro. You've got a lot of really great history to bone up on! You're going to love what you learn, and you're going to fall in love with being a Wolverine
Thank you to the Buckeye fans who've been fair, reasonable, and gracious in their comments. You've shown great class. Honor is due. Go Blue (and sometimes, Go Bucks)!
Michigan fan , and i totally agree. As much as I dislike OSU, there is a deep respect for them (and fear every year). Hopefully Nebraska and Wisconsin will step it up too with their new hires
Mike Sainristil is going to be a high level HC some day. This is a very gifted-very widely gifted young man...intelligent and articulate to the highest level. Coaching is a huge issue at OSU. Otherwise: OSU's poster child for "toughness", Mike Hall, had ONE tackle. This is OSU.
Sainristil has done such a great job this year. 3 years as a WR and now starting as a DB and making huge plays on a dominant defense is pretty amazing. His pass breakup to prevent a TD and force a FG was one of those huge momentum swinging plays on Saturday. And he's a leader, you could see him speaking to the defense on the sideline. He's a great example of why this team is successful.
Of all the plays and players on Saturday. He was the one I was most psyched about. I think he might make millions in the NFL by deciding to switch to defense. He can straight up Ball. The last time I saw a UM player on D that played like that was yep Woodson.
@@johnwright9106 Yea we seen that last year in the bowl game. This year may be better with Don Brown defense mentality gone. After watching the OSU game it appears that MI can bounce between throwing and running where the past games have been focused on running. GO BLUE.
@@johnwright9106 they are built to win championships, Georgia won with the same style of football last year. What you really mean is that they don't have elite talent but if they keep winning that will change
I'm not even a huge college football fan but I'm a huge 49er fan and have always rooted for Harbaugh. I'm rooting for him to get a national title for Michigan!
In 1997 our rose bowl was the 12th game. This is the first time we've ever gone 12-0. JJ McCarthy and Donovan Edwards are 19 years old and true sophomores.
^ This point right here. Unlike last year, this year's Michigan team will be next years Michigan team. It's going to be interesting to see these how these players progress in the offseason - win or lose in the playoffs.
First of all congratulations to the University of Michigan from a Buckeye fan. They played to win and did so. By far the better team Saturday. TOSU played to not lose. Zero adjustments by Ryan Day and Jim Knolls in the 2nd half. Kept trying to run the screen even when it was clearly not working and at one point almost picked (I wish it was so I could of just left early). At times it honestly looked like the play calling was for when they were winning and they didn't have a playbook if they were losing. On to next year. I'll watch whatever bowl they get to see next year's starters because you know CJ and them aren't going to play. They do not deserve to get a spot after Saturday. And also, CJs comments after the game about how "one game doesn't define us" I'm sorry, when you go to one of these two great programs, it does. He had no heart here at tOSU for the rivalry and it showed for two years in a row.
Have any of the local media asked Day about the bubble screens? They haven’t worked all season, so I’m curious why all the sudden it would work against one of the best defenses in the league. No fight no heart no creativity
@@sudukemsn they did. Same with the running plays to the outside that sputtered against every team in their last 6 games. He seemed set on a philosophy of establishing the outside areas of the field. Even when other things were working in a game, he’d go back to bubble screens and outside runs. Last i heard, it was all about that “own the edges” philosophy he got stuck on.
@@travissmith9488 I am absolutely neutral about next year. New kids on the block for both teams. I will not hold this years actions on next year's team until I see them play. Ryan may still be the coach and that may be all I really need to see, but next year is 363 days away.
@@Aeon1989 As a Wolverine, I respect this! It's great to see my boys get back to the point that this will actually be a rivalry again. I have firm faith that OSU will get it together...especially if they listen to Klatt and build a team geared towards beating Michigan; just like our boys built a team to beat y'all! This is the best rivalry in College Ball, and it's gonna be exciting for years to come again!
Joel - I enjoy hearing your perspectives on the games because they are very insightful! I appreciate your effort and preparation in putting together these videos. Thank You!
Eager to see how the recruiting trail plays out after two consecutive years of success. Not only the football but the aspect of brothers being a family and turning young men into men. It's great to be a Michigan wolverines fan.
Bruh, they flipped a tackle at the game! He was there as a guest of OSU and gave his verbal commitment to Michigan Sunday morning. It’s already happening.
I'm also waiting to see how recruiting plays out. We need to start pulling in elite talent to go along with the high caliber 3 stars that we develop into key contributors.
@@cjmike1024 four star, 8th ranked OT from ohio and a four star corner from Cincy yesterday. You can bet that some five star WRs are looking at JJ and wanting to come and play with him. Their draft class is going to keep getting better this year and next year will be off the chain.
@Tony M I hope so. I mean could you imagine a true gamebreaking WR in this offense. He would eat. Basically a big play every time we play action. I'll take any Oline/Dline from Ohio any day. That's when Michigan was dominant when we had a good mix of Michigan and Ohio guys on the roster. Go Blue!!
@@cjmike1024 I’d like to see a couple five star receivers like OSU has had lately. JJ goes into this off season knowing he’s the starter and working on his long ball. He has more than enough arm, he just needs to dial it in. And call me crazy, but Tom Brady being a bachelor now, imagine him being there as any kind of resource for the kid. That’s me dreaming, but all completely possible too. The next couple years are going to be interesting, that’s for sure. =) Go Blue!
Thank you for talking about the pass break up in the endzone against Stover. Mikey isn’t getting enough credit for that nationally. That is one of the biggest plays in the history of the game and will be on highlight reels for years to come. All time play in that rivalry. Everyone is talking about how OSU imploded or rolled over and died rather than how Michigan played. Loved the analysis here.
That is the single most influential PBU of the entire college season, across all teams. Forcing OSU to settle for a field goal in that situation cannot be overstated.
And think about this: Mikey is 5'8" and Stover is 6'7". From the first game against Hawaii that kid has been eye popping, so to see a play of that caliber in the biggest game at a crucial time is worthy of highest honors. What a leader!
Georgia, more often than not, plays with only six in the box, and they have the best run defense in the country. They did it last year, and they can do it again.
@@Dawg-Bone They are really good, I'm a UM fan that spend a bunch of years in Flowery Branch. I'm proud of the Dawgs and been to a lot of games in Athens. I don't want UM to play them again. Who would.
@@jerryjessup9192 they stacked the box quite a bit. That 85 yard run had 9 in the box. The problem was when they stacked, JJ went over the top. OSU has dudes. Both teams are great. Michigan was better that day.
The best part of the last 2 Monday shows was the bit about the 12 team playoff scenarios. Who will still be in it? We hope Joel continues that part of the show.
Michigan has some young players on defense that are going to be really good; and already are pretty dang good. True freshman Mason Graham on the D Line and true freshman Will Johnson at cornerback both have the look of being future all Big Ten.
Easily Michigan's best freshman class in who knows how long. 3 defensive linemen alone were major contributors this year. Johnson will be an All-American type. Loveland will be one of the top TE in the country next year as a sophomore. Stokes is going to be very good. Phenomenal class for Michigan.
Braiden McGregor was 2020 class but is still a freshman due to covid and be almost had a pick six off a wide receiver screen and had a few other good plays as well.
Love Joel Klatt love how you explained how he rebuilt this team 100% true! Having a tougher and better line is the corner stone of football! The game is won in the trenches!
Regarding Day’s record, let’s not forget that he was not coming in to rescue a bottomed-out program (like Harbaugh was asked to do). No, Day was replacing a HC at the height of his powers and who was forced to leave for off-field reasons. He stepped in to a mature, elite program with an existing recruiting advantage and an established record of success. Other than Alabama, OSU has basically been the best, most consistently successful program in CFB for the last 20 years. So yes, Day has had a historically successful start at OSU, but let’s not pretend that he did it all by himself, or that he didn’t somehow benefit greatly from what preceded him there.
True. To his credit, he kept it rolling. There’s lots or first time head coaches that don’t win that much, regardless of talent. That being said, he hasn’t had to learn the hard way. So he has to learn from the 1 or 2 losses he gets against good teams.
Ohio State is not a Power House Team. They have choked so many times when comes down to the real nitty gritty it makes me sick. They are cures and the leadership is Terrible. Ryan Day needs to quit.
JJ changed the momentum when he ran through osu players for 19 yards. He also made one particular pass that not many QBs can complete and that was with an osu player in his face, throwing off his back foot to Cornelius Johnson that went to the house!
Yeah, no. That throw was a fluttering ball that if any safety help is there is getting picked, but a great route by Johnson. He literally had a 30 yard window to make the catch.
@@EpsteinDidntKillHimself. that's the thing, osu was playing cover 0 there wasn't going to be any safety help on that play. Osu was daring JJ to throw it and he did
@@EpsteinDidntKillHimself. Stop it man. You DC left your corners on islands and they showed you that they can't cover in space. We saw it against Penn St, Maryland, and now Michigan.
Joel Klatt I enjoy your commentary. U have no bias and call a game straight up with no favoritism. Most analysts are Michigan haters no matter how well we do and I bet they'll want to bandwagon jump now. Naw! Stay in that other lane! We're straight with our real ones and those that realize we're a good football team and someone has to stop what we do well! Go Blue 💙💛💪🏼
Your the best football announcer on tv. You do a great job of breaking everything down and as a coach I take something away from you every time I listen. Keep giving out the gold nuggets. Thank you!
Joel is the the best, so in depth! I was most impressed by the secondary play in the second half. No body was open down field. Passes going to the outside at the line of scrimmage, even when Stroud had a lot of time.
@@afridgetoofar1818 agreed. If it was only a 7 point game or less, we probably stay in the top 4. Losing by 22 at home in the last regular season game, nope. We have ZERO chance to make playoffs unless everyone ahead of us loses their championship games.
who is a better choice then if USC loses for example? It's easy to say 'you lost by 20' but A) it was closer than that almost the whole game, and B) you have to have a replacement.
I’m a Michigan fan and I love the team and I won’t doubt them anymore, but I have to give Georgia credit they are a great team. They are very similar style teams. Assuming they both get to the Championship game I hope it is a epic game and I am rooting for Michigan.
Great show as always Joel. Michigan fan here, I think you had a great breakdown and analysis. I think best Championship game is between Michigan and Georgia. Not sure if we can beat Georgia, but I'm sure if anyone is capable, it is Michigan. I feel like Michigan and Georgia both have been getting disrespected/down played by ESPN/analysts.... they seem to value 2 or 5 years ago, more than this year.... Michigan has different players and assistant coaches than what they had 2 or 5 years ago...... Go Blue!!
Out of all the top 10 teams (and I've seen them all), Georgia is the only team that is as physically tough as Michigan. Not USC, not TCU, LSU, Bama, OSU, etc. UGA is not as good as last year while Michigan is better. It'd be a great game.
@@strategicsage7694 Amazing point. It is not a good argument to say one team was more banged up than the other… these programs are next man up mentalities and if you’re making excuses like that for either you’re not doing the team justices
I've been saying this is a good yr for us to win the championship. Georgia is still the team to beat but they aren't what they were last year and I think we'd welcome playing them again for a little retribution. No let downs against Purdue. GO BLUE FOREVER 💙💛
Great show Joel, and I just wanna say as a Michigan fan, it's nice to see a prominent voice in sports call out officiating and demand better. Blatantly one-sided officiating is the reason we lost the 2016 game to osu which knocked us out of the playoff and really hindered the program for another 5 years.
Nonsense. Blaming the officiating is a lame excuse. If a game is close enough that one call changes it, you didn't deserve to win anyway. As a Michigan fan myself, the officiating in the 2016 game was not 'blatantly biased'. There were calls that could have gone either way, but ... that's football.
I appreciate these podcasts though, Joel. You, by far, do the best, most in-depth analysis of college football of anyone out there. Keep up the great work.
How can you say OSU at Penn State wasn’t close?? PSU had the ball late in the 4th Q down by 6 points. A successful drive and they win the game. Even with Clifford throwing the ball the OSU’s defensive line the whole game
When you say Ohio State has to get better in their run game, just remember this is their depth chart at RB this season: 1. Trey Henderson - OUT and missed half the season 2. Miyan Williams - played one drive hurt and has been hurt half the season 3. Evan Prior - missed whole season with ACL 4. Dallan Hayden - freshman who somehow only got 2 carries 5. Chip Trayanum - MOVED FROM LB A WEEK AGO!! 6. Xavier Johnson - former walk-on playing WR
Harbaugh saw his players JJMCCARTHY, Donovan, and others who stayed around to look at last yrs performance of Georgia winning the Natty and how they looked at one another and decreed that they would be BACK next year!!! We have the "eye of the tiger" on our team.
Yeah they stacked the box in the first half and michigan had 10 yards rushing however then it left one v ones on the outside and michigan was winning those then Ohio state decides well we can’t let that keep happening either so let’s focus on the outside then the run game began opening up again and it was over
Completely agree with Joel re: the reaction of the OSU fans/commentators. Those of us with longer memories (back to the Carr/Tressel and Bo/Woody/Bruce days) remember the rivalry, remember the nail-biting, remember that neither side could assume ANYthing. Soooo many OSU bloggers and vloggers have been whining about how they've been so hard done by for the last 2 years. Winning The Game is not a birthright; if you want the pendulum to swing back, you gotta push it.
I’ve learned more about football during this video,than in my last 10 years of watching college ball. Klatt has a terrific way of explaining the nuances of the game and the dynamics involved in the psychology of winning football games.
Go Blue 〽️〽️ so happy of this team we earned this. But I will say I like Michigan being number 2 it allows us to go fight a different team same with Georgia in playoffs so we get the biggest rematch of last years playoff but in the national championship. That’s gonna be the game to watch this year assuming both teams win out and get there.
I love that it’s a rivalry again. It’s so much more fun when you just don’t know who will win. It’s good for the two programs, it’s good for the Big Ten, and good for college football. Joel makes a great point that while OSU fans may feel like the sky is falling, but this is a good thing that will hopefully push both programs to the top of college football.
Jim Knowles did adjust. The 2nd half Michigan (even before the big runs by Edwards) had success and got a lot of their 1st downs once OSU softened the box up
The only people who believed in Michigan was Michiganders who stood against the World to support our Superheroes who knows in Michigan it's All about the TEAM TEAM TEAM Ⓜ️🏈
@@afridgetoofar1818 Or maybe become National Champions. No matter what happens at the very least they will be one of the top 4 teams in the country. Vegas gives M a 35% chance to beat Georgia for the crown. I’ll take those odds.
This is the kind of garbage that annoys me is when Buckeye fans watch their team get pooped on they quickly proclaim Michigan doesn't have a chance in the CFP. Yall just said Michigan didn't have a chance 2 years in a row 42-27 45-23 and your program is elite. They were picked to win both yrs and got smacked so what's that say about your team. I know it hurts but don't be petty.
And I am no Bama homer or SEC homer either. I'm an Iowa fan, and I believe Michigan is the best team in the county this year. I love how Harbaugh has brought back that old-school style to college football. I am sick and tired of watching "basketball on grass". I used to think Harbaugh was annoying as heck but he has changed his approach and I admire what he has done. Ryan Day and Ohio state have no excuse, absolutely no excuse. All that talent. And the academic standards are not as high as Michigan, so it is much easier to recruit. Ohio state and Ryan Day got what they deserved Saturday.
If you win the line of scrimmage, you have a very good chance of beating your opponent. This is true at every level of football. It’s the most important aspect of the game aside from having a competent quarterback as he is the one who touches the ball and makes decisions every single play.
Ryan day saying that maybe next year we will put up 100 points on them, is the equivalent of Mike Hart calling Michigan State little brother. Michigan State started dominating after that for years, and now Michigan is dominating Ohio State. Moral of the story is, don't trash talk at press conferences.
Don’t ever get caught looking ahead. Focus on the game you have in front of you. Don’t take anything for granted Big Ten championship first. Then whom ever after GO BLUE!
Damn right. Let's keep a 1 game at a time approach. JJ showed us he can handle the bright lights. Don't bottle him up against Purdue. Don't save his talents. Let this kid continue to shine. He's a 5 star for a reason.
Don’t take this wrong, because Michigan is actually a legit team this year, but people are giving them way too much credit here. Just because the final score got out of hand doesn’t mean JJ McCarthy was balling out - his TDs were the result of missed tackles and coverage busts and he still wasn’t accurate on those throws and on the day (12/24). And Edwards is a borderline elite back, but if you take out those aforementioned busts and his 2 long runs when the game was already over and OSU was selling out to get the ball back, UM was averaging 3.3 yds/play on their other 55 offensive plays. Michigan is good, but Ohio State was undisciplined (key drops, penalties, missed tackles), had poor play-calling (leaving corners on islands when they’re the weakness of this defense), and beat themselves mentally when the score at the half ended up being much closer than how they had been playing.
The fact that Ohio went 20 yrs straight dominating and STILL are down in the all time series is wild to me. Was the gap really that wide before the year 2000?
Historically we Michigan was the Dominant program in the Big Team...people like myself who grew up watching this team during the era of the Legendary Bo Schembechler days know. That's why Harbaugh is bringing it all back today!
Study this history of college football. Michigan was really the first non-Ivy League school to be a powerhouse in college football in the 1900’s-1920’s. Ohio State didn’t find its footing as a strong football program until the 1930’s. Michigan won 27 of the first 30 meetings with Ohio State.
in 2000 look at the Michigan stat line... very familiar. Michigan junior quarterback Drew Henson went 14 for 25 passing for 303 yards and three scores and added a touchdown run.
While I really like them, I was disappointed in some of the commentary in during this game. Joel did not really understand Michigan's strategy at the end of the first half when they were conservative because they did not want to give the ball back to OSU and were happy being only 3 points down with the ball to start the 3rd (get a first down and run the clock down unless there was something they could get with low risk). Also, Gus and Joel did not really give Michigan's defense any hype pregame, like they did for the "world famous OSU offense". In retrospect, I liked seeing this defensive analysis. Keep in mind they were missing their best player on defense, Mike Morris.
100% right about Michigan getting much tougher at the line of scrimmage in the last few years. OSU used to push them around on both sides of the ball. It's the exact opposite now.
Finally USC getting the respect they deserve! Only loss is 1 point on a two point conversion on the road against a very emotional and good Utah team. So happy LSU lost to not even have to worry about them being ranked above USC again. I definitely think Caleb Williams is deserving of the Heisman, but saying no one else is in the conversation is a little ignorant; what Max Duggan has done at TCU this season must get its recognition.
Coach Harbaugh will have a hard time winning against Lincoln Rielly. If he beats Utah this weekend (the team he lost too by one point) then Coach Rielly's accomplishments will be recognized. Coach Rielly took a 4-8 team last year to 11-1 this year, and he did it with a bunch of portal transfers, Plus he has a quarterback who is likely to become the Heisman winner. The award is giving out the second week of December. If it was after the National Championship game and Michigan wins, then Coach Harbaugh would be in the running....
@@billbradley5665 undefeated will give Harbaugh the edge. Michigan also has the biggest win in college football this season. I agree Rielly is very deserving.
Joel Klatt is the sanest CFB analyst. Smart, articulate, self-effacing. Love the way the Wolverines are playing. Harbaugh painted his "Starry Night" in Columbus last Saturday.
If Harbaugh lands the right 4-5 star duel threat QB that has the right mindset Michigan will truly reign supreme for a while. I’m not a Michigan fan at all, just love the sport.
The wildest part about this game, our Dline didn’t play well at all. We got zero pass rush the entire game and shut them down. Hutch And Ojabo would have had 8+ sacks with this secondary
I want to know , if Michigan would have lost by 22 to OSU on Saturday, would that 1 loss Michigan make the playoff... I would say absolutely not. So why OSU? It was 22 at home! This is why, absolutely why the playoff format needs to expand. There has to be a top 8 playoff.
Agreed. No Alabama either. It's time to open up for other teams to get in there. I'd like to see Georgia, M, USC, and TCU (assuming they win out, of course, which I think they will).
the question I would ask is who should be in there ahead of OSU? If USC for example loses, it's not enough to say 'OSU lost by 22'. It was closer than that most of the game of course, but who is a better choice? I mean if you say no Bama either, than who is more deserving?
@@strategicsage7694 I think just because it's an extra game .. it's a championship game for the division .. something OSU won't even have the shot to play for
Football is football. The Harbaugh Family Football Team has always worked. Must have a very good QB And the key pieces as you describe built from inside out. Like Steelers in the 70’s. I will take that every day all year.
I would like to thank you very much for what you said about Ryan Day at the end of your Michigan-Ohio State commentary. Ryan Day is an awesome coach who cares greatly about his players. In spite of any game losses and on-the-spot errors in judgement, I think that most Buckeye fans realize that Ohio State is very fortunate to have him running the program. One thing that struck me recently was toward the end of the Maryland post-game press conference last week when he said, "Coahes run, too, when there's penalties." So, he obviously takes his responsibilities very seriously while showing the coaching staff's commitment to all being a part of the team. But what I would like to point out today is that Jim Harbaugh began his tenure as head coach at the University of Michigan in 2015. That means it has taken him 7 seasons to build the team he has today. Ryan Day took over as full-time head coach at Ohio State in 2019. So, like Harbaugh, he deserves the courtesy of time to build the team he desires. I think we all recognize that as good as his team is this year, it is still a work in progress.
This video alone is why I just love Joel Klatt. He just explains everything perfectly. What a guy!
lol relax
He literally had osu blowing Michigan out.....which was false
Agreed. CF G.O.A.T.
did he explain that michigan will be out first game? just like every year with the big ten. they should call the big game. the whos going to get blown out of the cfp first bowl.
As a michagan fan I think I speak for every michagan fan this is are least favite reporter
The biggest fact that everyone overlooks.....Michigan has been dominating the second half all year long. Their halftime adjustments have been phenomenal. They have outscored their opponents in the second half something like 140 - 20......
I only hear Michigan fans saying it to be honest. But other than Illinois, you have to go back to the Iowa game to find a team that scored more than 3 pts in the 2nd half vs Michigan. They are WILDLY good in the 2nd half.
2nd half points scored by:
Indiana: 0
Penn State: 3
Michigan State: 0
Rutgers: 0
Nebraska: 0
Ohio State: 3
As JJ (and Star Wars Andor) put it, "we burst the pipes".
Let's face it, no matter how good Michigan plays out who they beat, they will never get the full credit. They have been the best second half team in the country for weeks now but no mention of it at all.
It wasn’t really “adjustments” that alllowed them to dominate Ohio State; the line eventually wore them down. Good attempt at cogent analysis though.
@@thedeifiedjulius2310 It is both, they "burst the pipes" in games AND they adjust really well.
Thanks for shouting out how great Sainristil's PBU was vs OSU. One of the best plays I've seen from a Wolverine in years. Stover wasn't even his guy to cover and ran across the field to make that play. Insane PBU.
Fr, it was the play of the game imo
That's the best defensive play by a UM player since Woodson's leaping INT against MSU.
Not to mention this is Sainristill’s first year on the defense
@@HailCostanza absolutely agree
I think there were a lot of great plays by Michigan on Saturday, but that one ripped the soul out of the Buckeyes.
Your deep take on what Harbaugh did to turn Michigan around is spot on and it can't be overstated. The fact that he has gone against what everyone thought Michigan needed and instead made them into what they are. For a very, very long time Michigan had no real identity. In the 80s and 90s they were so dominant over Ohio State because they had an identity and they came into The Game with balls every time no matter their record. That's why in 95 and 96 they beat back to back ranked #2 OSU teams that were incredibly talented (Michigan was ranked 18th and 21st iirc). Those teams understood that, while their season was middling, it can all be resolved by winning this one game.
Braylon Edwards talked earlier in the week how there are no excuses for losing just because a guy is injured (Corum). Players have to step up. And literally the entire team stepped up. Sanristil's PBU and just play in general, the O line smashing in the second half, Edwards playing with a broken thumb and taking hand-offs in his opposite hand and still looking like a track star, CB torching the secondary all over the field, and JJ stepping up into the role he was expected to be all year. Great players, when given the chance, show their greatness.
This didn't feel like a rivalry for a long time. Now it's back again. This rivalry has always gone in streaks. Seems like a new one has started.
I think it will maybe level out a little at every other year maybe. Next year it looks like UM will have the advantage, but Day needs to mold the defense into a secondary tough defense like what Urban had.
I remember Braylon Edwards saying a couple years ago that Harbaugh should be fired.
@@sheneedsme that was the sentiment here in Ann Arbor after the 2020 “season”… Harbaugh regained our trust last year
Actually its been a beat down, now for the sweet booty OSU fans it dont feel like rivalry after these massive beatdowns last 2 years
Spot on with that comment 👍
It’s difficult to root against Michigan now, they did the impossible for the second year in a row
Never should have been rooting against them to begin with! GO BLUE!
Man f*** them and they fake ass fans that wanted khaki pants fired . 2-6 still trash against OSU 61-24 overall 3-9 against MSU and osu 2-13 against AP top 10 man these fans hilarious
They do have the all time record against Ohio state not to mention they have the most wins in college football history
Listen to Josh pates podcast. It's excellent. Michigan is now taking over the Big ten and they are the team to beat
Go blue! 45-23 at the 👞
Waited all weekend to watch this podcast. Klatt #1 Go Blue!!!!
OMG Joel ! That breakdown of the Buckeye program, Ryan Day and where they go from here was special. It's a must watch/listen for all their fans, and what makes you the best. Cheers and great job as always.
The best part of this David vs Goliath story is two years ago Harbaugh took a pay cut sitting at 0-5 vs OSU. 😂
@SteaminTrumpStainz Piles We’ve accepted it
Buckeye program is just fine. Give Knowles time with the defense. This game was a lot closer than the score.
@@johnwright9106 Goliath vs Goliath
I hope they never win again
Michigan just looks good. Great job by the wolverines
I'm a new Michigan fan who only became a fan because I enrolled at the University in 2019. And I am STOKED, extremely excited. I can't imagine how excited long-time fans are.
Excited isn't really the word we would use. We are excited for everything coming still but as far as feeling I would say Proud. I am extremely proud and feel happy for Harbaugh and our team. Harbaugh deserves this and it shows how amazing of a coach he really is. Everyone doubted him including me at some point in the last year's but if he would of left we wouldn't of been able to see this payoff. So welcome to Michigan and remember one thing we always forget as Michigan fans....those who stay will be champions
Welcome, bro. You've got a lot of really great history to bone up on! You're going to love what you learn, and you're going to fall in love with being a Wolverine
50 year fan and alumna here. Excited for sure! Go blue
Very excited
alot of us have been waiting our entire lives for this.
Thank you to the Buckeye fans who've been fair, reasonable, and gracious in their comments. You've shown great class. Honor is due. Go Blue (and sometimes, Go Bucks)!
It’s never go bucks….. never
Fake Michigan fan!
As a buckeye fan , I’m just happy this is back to a real rivalry again . Great for Big Ten and college football
Excited for USC and UCLA
Michigan fan , and i totally agree. As much as I dislike OSU, there is a deep respect for them (and fear every year). Hopefully Nebraska and Wisconsin will step it up too with their new hires
Cute
Ryan Cooper is not that bad of a coach
@@garymernatt4223 What you did there, I see it.
Mike Sainristil is going to be a high level HC some day. This is a very gifted-very widely gifted young man...intelligent and articulate to the highest level.
Coaching is a huge issue at OSU.
Otherwise: OSU's poster child for "toughness", Mike Hall, had ONE tackle. This is OSU.
Sainristil has done such a great job this year. 3 years as a WR and now starting as a DB and making huge plays on a dominant defense is pretty amazing. His pass breakup to prevent a TD and force a FG was one of those huge momentum swinging plays on Saturday. And he's a leader, you could see him speaking to the defense on the sideline. He's a great example of why this team is successful.
@@Jon.A.Scholt Oh my goodness that was my favorite defensive play of the afternoon. That was a massive play.
Of all the plays and players on Saturday. He was the one I was most psyched about. I think he might make millions in the NFL by deciding to switch to defense. He can straight up Ball. The last time I saw a UM player on D that played like that was yep Woodson.
OSU has no heart, go blue
@@flman1478Jabrill?
As a Michigan fan we’ve waited a long time to be this great. Lots of tough years. SPOT ON COMMENTARY JOEL!!!
Michigan is now the dominant team in the Big ten
Yup! Go Blue
How's that feel cause it's been a long time?
Good show Joel hope you are gonna be at the Michigan game again this year
@@vw8886 real good
@@vw8886 feels amazing
What I have noticed in the past two years is that Harbough has not been cocky but more focused.
Yea a lot less trolling from Harbaugh. The problem is they are built to beat not OSU not to win a championship but hey beat OSU and you get a shot.
@@johnwright9106 Yea we seen that last year in the bowl game. This year may be better with Don Brown defense mentality gone. After watching the OSU game it appears that MI can bounce between throwing and running where the past games have been focused on running. GO BLUE.
@@johnwright9106 it always comes down to The Game. What were able to accomplish after that is all icing on the cake
@@johnwright9106 they are built to win championships, Georgia won with the same style of football last year. What you really mean is that they don't have elite talent but if they keep winning that will change
@@johnwright9106 they’re definitely built to win a title. Tf
Did Michigan totally out coach tOSU? It appeared that talent was near even but the dominance of Michigan was pretty obvious
@user-ny9os7tp9d he lost, to his brother
@@FuranzuDesu Fact
Yes. Harbaugh has outcoached Day two times in a row.
The talent isn’t near even. OSU has wayyyy more talent (according to 247 composite rankings)
Harbaugh is in Ryan Days head and has Day reaching to be someone he is not.
I'm not even a huge college football fan but I'm a huge 49er fan and have always rooted for Harbaugh. I'm rooting for him to get a national title for Michigan!
In 1997 our rose bowl was the 12th game. This is the first time we've ever gone 12-0. JJ McCarthy and Donovan Edwards are 19 years old and true sophomores.
^ This point right here. Unlike last year, this year's Michigan team will be next years Michigan team. It's going to be interesting to see these how these players progress in the offseason - win or lose in the playoffs.
Just wait next season JJ McCarthy and Donavon Edwards are gonna be superstars.
@@matthewdrews McCarthy and Edwards are gonna be superstars.
First of all congratulations to the University of Michigan from a Buckeye fan. They played to win and did so. By far the better team Saturday.
TOSU played to not lose. Zero adjustments by Ryan Day and Jim Knolls in the 2nd half. Kept trying to run the screen even when it was clearly not working and at one point almost picked (I wish it was so I could of just left early). At times it honestly looked like the play calling was for when they were winning and they didn't have a playbook if they were losing.
On to next year. I'll watch whatever bowl they get to see next year's starters because you know CJ and them aren't going to play. They do not deserve to get a spot after Saturday. And also, CJs comments after the game about how "one game doesn't define us" I'm sorry, when you go to one of these two great programs, it does. He had no heart here at tOSU for the rivalry and it showed for two years in a row.
Now this is a Buckeye fan who gets it. I'm curious. How confident are you that OSU will beat Michigan in Ann Arbor next year with a first-year QB?
Have any of the local media asked Day about the bubble screens? They haven’t worked all season, so I’m curious why all the sudden it would work against one of the best defenses in the league. No fight no heart no creativity
@@sudukemsn they did. Same with the running plays to the outside that sputtered against every team in their last 6 games. He seemed set on a philosophy of establishing the outside areas of the field.
Even when other things were working in a game, he’d go back to bubble screens and outside runs. Last i heard, it was all about that “own the edges” philosophy he got stuck on.
@@travissmith9488 I am absolutely neutral about next year. New kids on the block for both teams. I will not hold this years actions on next year's team until I see them play. Ryan may still be the coach and that may be all I really need to see, but next year is 363 days away.
@@Aeon1989 As a Wolverine, I respect this! It's great to see my boys get back to the point that this will actually be a rivalry again. I have firm faith that OSU will get it together...especially if they listen to Klatt and build a team geared towards beating Michigan; just like our boys built a team to beat y'all! This is the best rivalry in College Ball, and it's gonna be exciting for years to come again!
Joel - I enjoy hearing your perspectives on the games because they are very insightful! I appreciate your effort and preparation in putting together these videos. Thank You!
Eager to see how the recruiting trail plays out after two consecutive years of success. Not only the football but the aspect of brothers being a family and turning young men into men. It's great to be a Michigan wolverines fan.
Bruh, they flipped a tackle at the game! He was there as a guest of OSU and gave his verbal commitment to Michigan Sunday morning.
It’s already happening.
I'm also waiting to see how recruiting plays out. We need to start pulling in elite talent to go along with the high caliber 3 stars that we develop into key contributors.
@@cjmike1024 four star, 8th ranked OT from ohio and a four star corner from Cincy yesterday. You can bet that some five star WRs are looking at JJ and wanting to come and play with him.
Their draft class is going to keep getting better this year and next year will be off the chain.
@Tony M I hope so. I mean could you imagine a true gamebreaking WR in this offense. He would eat. Basically a big play every time we play action. I'll take any Oline/Dline from Ohio any day. That's when Michigan was dominant when we had a good mix of Michigan and Ohio guys on the roster.
Go Blue!!
@@cjmike1024 I’d like to see a couple five star receivers like OSU has had lately.
JJ goes into this off season knowing he’s the starter and working on his long ball. He has more than enough arm, he just needs to dial it in. And call me crazy, but Tom Brady being a bachelor now, imagine him being there as any kind of resource for the kid.
That’s me dreaming, but all completely possible too.
The next couple years are going to be interesting, that’s for sure. =)
Go Blue!
Thank you for talking about the pass break up in the endzone against Stover. Mikey isn’t getting enough credit for that nationally. That is one of the biggest plays in the history of the game and will be on highlight reels for years to come. All time play in that rivalry. Everyone is talking about how OSU imploded or rolled over and died rather than how Michigan played. Loved the analysis here.
That is the single most influential PBU of the entire college season, across all teams. Forcing OSU to settle for a field goal in that situation cannot be overstated.
100% the wind was taken out of their sails after that play.
that's a textbook NFL pass-breakup. It was soooo perfect to see.
And think about this: Mikey is 5'8" and Stover is 6'7". From the first game against Hawaii that kid has been eye popping, so to see a play of that caliber in the biggest game at a crucial time is worthy of highest honors. What a leader!
Definitely was an incredible play, but I haven't seen anyone say OSU rolled over. Michigan's gotten a lot of credit for the win across the board.
Interesting question is whether any team can stop Michigan’s run without overcommitting with 8-9 in the box.
Maybe Georgia. They have the bodies and the coach to craft something, but thats it.
Georgia, more often than not, plays with only six in the box, and they have the best run defense in the country. They did it last year, and they can do it again.
@@Dawg-Bone They are really good, I'm a UM fan that spend a bunch of years in Flowery Branch. I'm proud of the Dawgs and been to a lot of games in Athens. I don't want UM to play them again. Who would.
As a Michigan fan most likely Georgia
@@jerryjessup9192 they stacked the box quite a bit. That 85 yard run had 9 in the box. The problem was when they stacked, JJ went over the top. OSU has dudes. Both teams are great. Michigan was better that day.
The best part of the last 2 Monday shows was the bit about the 12 team playoff scenarios. Who will still be in it? We hope Joel continues that part of the show.
Ryan Day and OS is still a great coach and program. It’s good to be humbled along with other perennial playoff teams like Clemson & Alabama.
I’m born & raised a Buckeye but Michigan is the best team in the NATION 💯
They’re definitely #1 now. I got Ohio as #5 now
@@y.udothis the Bobcats at 5? Really!
Georgia is much better
Nah Georgia would win by 20+
Nah, Georgia clearly #1
Michigan has some young players on defense that are going to be really good; and already are pretty dang good. True freshman Mason Graham on the D Line and true freshman Will Johnson at cornerback both have the look of being future all Big Ten.
Easily Michigan's best freshman class in who knows how long. 3 defensive linemen alone were major contributors this year. Johnson will be an All-American type. Loveland will be one of the top TE in the country next year as a sophomore. Stokes is going to be very good. Phenomenal class for Michigan.
Really impressed with a lot of our freshmen this year. They play like upperclassmen studs.
@@maizeman90 Took the words right out of my mouth.
Braiden McGregor was 2020 class but is still a freshman due to covid and be almost had a pick six off a wide receiver screen and had a few other good plays as well.
Really the most well rounded game I’ve seen from the wolverines in my life being 24. What a game. Go blue
I'm old enough to be your father, and Harbaugh has revamped the program back into the glory days of Bo Bo Schembechler & the Wolverines glory days!Ⓜ️🏈
I'm 65 and consider that a historic win over OSU, and some of the best coaching since forever.
Love Joel Klatt love how you explained how he rebuilt this team 100% true! Having a tougher and better line is the corner stone of football! The game is won in the trenches!
Regarding Day’s record, let’s not forget that he was not coming in to rescue a bottomed-out program (like Harbaugh was asked to do). No, Day was replacing a HC at the height of his powers and who was forced to leave for off-field reasons. He stepped in to a mature, elite program with an existing recruiting advantage and an established record of success. Other than Alabama, OSU has basically been the best, most consistently successful program in CFB for the last 20 years.
So yes, Day has had a historically successful start at OSU, but let’s not pretend that he did it all by himself, or that he didn’t somehow benefit greatly from what preceded him there.
True. To his credit, he kept it rolling. There’s lots or first time head coaches that don’t win that much, regardless of talent.
That being said, he hasn’t had to learn the hard way. So he has to learn from the 1 or 2 losses he gets against good teams.
In other words, he was born on 3rd base.
Third base
Ohio State is not a Power House Team. They have choked so many times when comes down to the real nitty gritty it makes me sick. They are cures and the leadership is Terrible. Ryan Day needs to quit.
JJ changed the momentum when he ran through osu players for 19 yards. He also made one particular pass that not many QBs can complete and that was with an osu player in his face, throwing off his back foot to Cornelius Johnson that went to the house!
Yeah, no. That throw was a fluttering ball that if any safety help is there is getting picked, but a great route by Johnson. He literally had a 30 yard window to make the catch.
@@EpsteinDidntKillHimself. that's the thing, osu was playing cover 0 there wasn't going to be any safety help on that play. Osu was daring JJ to throw it and he did
@@EpsteinDidntKillHimself. Stop it man. You DC left your corners on islands and they showed you that they can't cover in space. We saw it against Penn St, Maryland, and now Michigan.
@@EpsteinDidntKillHimself. I don't agree. I watched an ESPN replay of it but thats your opinion and I appreciate it.
Joel Klatt I enjoy your commentary. U have no bias and call a game straight up with no favoritism. Most analysts are Michigan haters no matter how well we do and I bet they'll want to bandwagon jump now. Naw! Stay in that other lane! We're straight with our real ones and those that realize we're a good football team and someone has to stop what we do well! Go Blue 💙💛💪🏼
Are you serious?!? Until the OSU win, this douche is a huge UM and Harbaugh hater. Do some research. 🤬
Your the best football announcer on tv. You do a great job of breaking everything down and as a coach I take something away from you every time I listen. Keep giving out the gold nuggets. Thank you!
I been saying I want the Georgia rematch! Let’s go for the title I’m going to that game if so
You sure you want that?
Joel is the the best, so in depth! I was most impressed by the secondary play in the second half. No body was open down field. Passes going to the outside at the line of scrimmage, even when Stroud had a lot of time.
It’s actually fun seeing Michigan this good😂
It’s crazy to think just two years ago people were begging for Harbaugh to be fired.
You have no idea how long i’ve been waiting for Monday to watch the smartest guy in college football talk about michigan
ohio state doesn't get to lose by 20 in their last game before bowl season and still make the playoff.
Yep if Michigan had lost by 20 there would be no conversation of them getting in
I’m a Buckeye fan, and I don’t want Ohio State anywhere near the Playoffs. We had our chance and blew it.
@@afridgetoofar1818 agreed. If it was only a 7 point game or less, we probably stay in the top 4. Losing by 22 at home in the last regular season game, nope. We have ZERO chance to make playoffs unless everyone ahead of us loses their championship games.
who is a better choice then if USC loses for example? It's easy to say 'you lost by 20' but A) it was closer than that almost the whole game, and B) you have to have a replacement.
@@tonysauruswrexu4623 yes! Ohio State fully deserves to play Mississippi in the Outback Bowl, if that.
I’m a Michigan fan and I love the team and I won’t doubt them anymore, but I have to give Georgia credit they are a great team. They are very similar style teams. Assuming they both get to the Championship game I hope it is a epic game and I am rooting for Michigan.
Fox was riding Ohio state hard the whole game
Great show as always Joel.
Michigan fan here, I think you had a great breakdown and analysis.
I think best Championship game is between Michigan and Georgia.
Not sure if we can beat Georgia, but I'm sure if anyone is capable, it is Michigan.
I feel like Michigan and Georgia both have been getting disrespected/down played by ESPN/analysts.... they seem to value 2 or 5 years ago, more than this year....
Michigan has different players and assistant coaches than what they had 2 or 5 years ago......
Go Blue!!
Out of all the top 10 teams (and I've seen them all), Georgia is the only team that is as physically tough as Michigan. Not USC, not TCU, LSU, Bama, OSU, etc. UGA is not as good as last year while Michigan is better. It'd be a great game.
Sainristril’s PBU was my favorite play of the game
They did it without their Heisman guy Corum.
True, but Ohio State has had a lot of injuries as well. People forget how good Smith-Njigba is.
@@strategicsage7694 Amazing point. It is not a good argument to say one team was more banged up than the other… these programs are next man up mentalities and if you’re making excuses like that for either you’re not doing the team justices
I've been saying this is a good yr for us to win the championship. Georgia is still the team to beat but they aren't what they were last year and I think we'd welcome playing them again for a little retribution. No let downs against Purdue. GO BLUE FOREVER 💙💛
Joel. Your simply the best college football analyst out there. Thank you for the great job you do...
Great show Joel, and I just wanna say as a Michigan fan, it's nice to see a prominent voice in sports call out officiating and demand better. Blatantly one-sided officiating is the reason we lost the 2016 game to osu which knocked us out of the playoff and really hindered the program for another 5 years.
1000% facts.. that game still grinds my gears today..
lol
NO FIRST DOWN
Evidently it was a first down 😢
Nonsense. Blaming the officiating is a lame excuse. If a game is close enough that one call changes it, you didn't deserve to win anyway. As a Michigan fan myself, the officiating in the 2016 game was not 'blatantly biased'. There were calls that could have gone either way, but ... that's football.
THE DYNASTY BEGINS....FIGHT ON!!!
Big 10 will look vastly different and the coaching ecology much tougher after USC and UCLA move in.
I appreciate these podcasts though, Joel. You, by far, do the best, most in-depth analysis of college football of anyone out there. Keep up the great work.
This says it all: two OSU recruits ACTIVELY visiting OSU during the game committed to MICHIGAN after “the game”.
Yup, found hanging out with the Michigan players after and during the game. xD
Bro that's crazy
one was the 8th OT in the nation… damn
It stings. - OSU fan
Wow that’s crazy smh
This video shows why Joel Klatt is the very best analyst in College Football. Superb analysis of the Ohio State-Michigan game!
How can you say OSU at Penn State wasn’t close?? PSU had the ball late in the 4th Q down by 6 points. A successful drive and they win the game. Even with Clifford throwing the ball the OSU’s defensive line the whole game
When you say Ohio State has to get better in their run game, just remember this is their depth chart at RB this season:
1. Trey Henderson - OUT and missed half the season
2. Miyan Williams - played one drive hurt and has been hurt half the season
3. Evan Prior - missed whole season with ACL
4. Dallan Hayden - freshman who somehow only got 2 carries
5. Chip Trayanum - MOVED FROM LB A WEEK AGO!!
6. Xavier Johnson - former walk-on playing WR
Harbaugh saw his players JJMCCARTHY, Donovan, and others who stayed around to look at last yrs performance of Georgia winning the Natty and how they looked at one another and decreed that they would be BACK next year!!! We have the "eye of the tiger" on our team.
UGA fan here. Congrats to Michigan and you are correct on everything Klatt. Bama shouldn’t get in over Ohio St.
OSU had to overcommit to stop the run and got burned on zero coverage. In fact, the Edwards runs were on missed gap fills with no safeties deep.
Stop!!! Ryan Cooper knows what he’s doing..
Is that not the point by bringing ur safeties up to stop the run? Y'all just looked soft and got smoked.
fOSU didn't miss gap fills on those Edwards runs, they were blown out of their gaps and couldn't do fck all to stop it.
Yeah they stacked the box in the first half and michigan had 10 yards rushing however then it left one v ones on the outside and michigan was winning those then Ohio state decides well we can’t let that keep happening either so let’s focus on the outside then the run game began opening up again and it was over
Knowles was so dumb for not making Michigan go the length of the field.
Completely agree with Joel re: the reaction of the OSU fans/commentators. Those of us with longer memories (back to the Carr/Tressel and Bo/Woody/Bruce days) remember the rivalry, remember the nail-biting, remember that neither side could assume ANYthing. Soooo many OSU bloggers and vloggers have been whining about how they've been so hard done by for the last 2 years. Winning The Game is not a birthright; if you want the pendulum to swing back, you gotta push it.
Michigan straight sandbagged OSU all season
I’ve learned more about football during this video,than in my last 10 years of watching college ball.
Klatt has a terrific way of explaining the nuances of the game and the dynamics involved in the psychology of winning football games.
Go Blue 〽️〽️ so happy of this team we earned this. But I will say I like Michigan being number 2 it allows us to go fight a different team same with Georgia in playoffs so we get the biggest rematch of last years playoff but in the national championship. That’s gonna be the game to watch this year assuming both teams win out and get there.
Georgia is going to just blow everyone out again with their defense
It'll be a good one fo sho!
@@yearofthedawgs8581 oh yea can’t wait respects in advance. This is what everyone’s been waiting for.
Joe Klatt is the truth!! Joel is so good at explaining the game of football! Outstanding as always Joel!! And of course Go Blue!!
Nobody done less with more than Ryan Day.
I love that it’s a rivalry again. It’s so much more fun when you just don’t know who will win. It’s good for the two programs, it’s good for the Big Ten, and good for college football. Joel makes a great point that while OSU fans may feel like the sky is falling, but this is a good thing that will hopefully push both programs to the top of college football.
Jim Knowles did adjust. The 2nd half Michigan (even before the big runs by Edwards) had success and got a lot of their 1st downs once OSU softened the box up
That’s not adjusting, that’s playing into the hands of the opposition you clown
Joel is one of my favorite sports/football commentators, so insightful and very intelligent takes
What an amazing analysis thank you Joel!
Being GREAT at Guard, Center, and Guard on the O-line and at D-Tackle has been key for big blue!
The only people who believed in Michigan was Michiganders who stood against the World to support our Superheroes who knows in Michigan it's All about the TEAM TEAM TEAM Ⓜ️🏈
Yep. All those clowns on TV picked OSU to roll.
That's fine. Let them keep doubting. More fuel. GO BLUE!
Time for Michigan to embarrass themselves in the Playoffs 😂
@@afridgetoofar1818 Or maybe become National Champions. No matter what happens at the very least they will be one of the top 4 teams in the country. Vegas gives M a 35% chance to beat Georgia for the crown. I’ll take those odds.
This is the kind of garbage that annoys me is when Buckeye fans watch their team get pooped on they quickly proclaim Michigan doesn't have a chance in the CFP. Yall just said Michigan didn't have a chance 2 years in a row 42-27 45-23 and your program is elite. They were picked to win both yrs and got smacked so what's that say about your team. I know it hurts but don't be petty.
And I am no Bama homer or SEC homer either. I'm an Iowa fan, and I believe Michigan is the best team in the county this year. I love how Harbaugh has brought back that old-school style to college football. I am sick and tired of watching "basketball on grass". I used to think Harbaugh was annoying as heck but he has changed his approach and I admire what he has done. Ryan Day and Ohio state have no excuse, absolutely no excuse. All that talent. And the academic standards are not as high as Michigan, so it is much easier to recruit. Ohio state and Ryan Day got what they deserved Saturday.
If you win the line of scrimmage, you have a very good chance of beating your opponent. This is true at every level of football. It’s the most important aspect of the game aside from having a competent quarterback as he is the one who touches the ball and makes decisions every single play.
BO is in heaven with a big smile.
Ryan day saying that maybe next year we will put up 100 points on them, is the equivalent of Mike Hart calling Michigan State little brother. Michigan State started dominating after that for years, and now Michigan is dominating Ohio State. Moral of the story is, don't trash talk at press conferences.
If we weren’t sick during that Covid year, OSU would have laid 100 on us. 2-4, we were bad.
Ryan Day is an arrogant jerk. Only thing I disagree with Klatt on. Day is a very very arrogant persons
Joel Klatt was commentating THEE GAME in pain. He gave Michigan no chance, nobody did except Michigan. GO F'ING BLUE!
Don’t ever get caught looking ahead. Focus on the game you have in front of you. Don’t take anything for granted Big Ten championship first. Then whom ever after GO BLUE!
Damn right. Let's keep a 1 game at a time approach. JJ showed us he can handle the bright lights. Don't bottle him up against Purdue. Don't save his talents. Let this kid continue to shine. He's a 5 star for a reason.
Don’t take this wrong, because Michigan is actually a legit team this year, but people are giving them way too much credit here.
Just because the final score got out of hand doesn’t mean JJ McCarthy was balling out - his TDs were the result of missed tackles and coverage busts and he still wasn’t accurate on those throws and on the day (12/24). And Edwards is a borderline elite back, but if you take out those aforementioned busts and his 2 long runs when the game was already over and OSU was selling out to get the ball back, UM was averaging 3.3 yds/play on their other 55 offensive plays.
Michigan is good, but Ohio State was undisciplined (key drops, penalties, missed tackles), had poor play-calling (leaving corners on islands when they’re the weakness of this defense), and beat themselves mentally when the score at the half ended up being much closer than how they had been playing.
I'm gonna be rooting for mich cause I want success in the playoffs from a big 10 team
No, Michigan failing is more important than the B1G succeeding.
@@kevinjohnston4923 The big 10 will never be worth a shit if we don't support it.
I like the fact that the playoffs seem wide open this year! Hope TCU and USC win out so we have 4 different conferences represented.
The fact that Ohio went 20 yrs straight dominating and STILL are down in the all time series is wild to me. Was the gap really that wide before the year 2000?
Historically we Michigan was the Dominant program in the Big Team...people like myself who grew up watching this team during the era of the Legendary Bo Schembechler days know. That's why Harbaugh is bringing it all back today!
Study this history of college football. Michigan was really the first non-Ivy League school to be a powerhouse in college football in the 1900’s-1920’s. Ohio State didn’t find its footing as a strong football program until the 1930’s. Michigan won 27 of the first 30 meetings with Ohio State.
1980-1999: Mich was 13-6-1
2000-2020: OSU was 17-3
That’s why it’s almost a wash.
I think Michigan is still up in the series by like 10 or 11 wins now. We have really closed the gap, but not tied it up.
Maybe if the Buckeyes can squeeze into the CFB finals and meet with us again....we can get a two-for one yr added to that number? Ⓜ️🏈👊🏽
in 2000 look at the Michigan stat line... very familiar. Michigan junior quarterback Drew Henson went 14 for 25 passing for 303 yards and three scores and added a touchdown run.
While I really like them, I was disappointed in some of the commentary in during this game. Joel did not really understand Michigan's strategy at the end of the first half when they were conservative because they did not want to give the ball back to OSU and were happy being only 3 points down with the ball to start the 3rd (get a first down and run the clock down unless there was something they could get with low risk). Also, Gus and Joel did not really give Michigan's defense any hype pregame, like they did for the "world famous OSU offense". In retrospect, I liked seeing this defensive analysis. Keep in mind they were missing their best player on defense, Mike Morris.
100% right about Michigan getting much tougher at the line of scrimmage in the last few years. OSU used to push them around on both sides of the ball. It's the exact opposite now.
As a Buckeye fan I am glad Mich. is better. It will force OSU and other big ten teams to get better. To compete against conferences like the SEC
The SEC has gotten better because of Bama. From looking at recruiting also there’s is quite a few in the top 15.
@@Wuncler Exactly
Finally someone giving us (Michigan) our respect. 〽️〽️〽️
Michigan should be #1
Well keep winning and they will be.
Do we want to be 1? i would rather play tcu than usc
31:54 “He’s 45 and FIVE!” 😂😂
That hang 100 changed everything. Also Ryan day has only beat Michigan with urban Meyer players.
Finally USC getting the respect they deserve! Only loss is 1 point on a two point conversion on the road against a very emotional and good Utah team. So happy LSU lost to not even have to worry about them being ranked above USC again. I definitely think Caleb Williams is deserving of the Heisman, but saying no one else is in the conversation is a little ignorant; what Max Duggan has done at TCU this season must get its recognition.
back to back Coach of the Year!
Coach Harbaugh will have a hard time winning against Lincoln Rielly. If he beats Utah this weekend (the team he lost too by one point) then Coach Rielly's accomplishments will be recognized. Coach Rielly took a 4-8 team last year to 11-1 this year, and he did it with a bunch of portal transfers, Plus he has a quarterback who is likely to become the Heisman winner. The award is giving out the second week of December. If it was after the National Championship game and Michigan wins, then Coach Harbaugh would be in the running....
@@billbradley5665 undefeated will give Harbaugh the edge. Michigan also has the biggest win in college football this season. I agree Rielly is very deserving.
It's great to be a Michigan Wolverine!
Sure, until they lose in the first round of the playoffs.
@@juanrivera1624 you mean the playoff that Ohio State won’t be in?
@@xmeatrocket8x Yep. Michigan's playoff record will fall to 0-2 and I'm going to be laughing!
Joel Klatt is the sanest CFB analyst. Smart, articulate, self-effacing.
Love the way the Wolverines are playing. Harbaugh painted his "Starry Night" in Columbus last Saturday.
I was wrong about Michigan. Didn't think they could go into OSU and win.
As a Michigan fan I didn't think so either to be honest
If Harbaugh lands the right 4-5 star duel threat QB that has the right mindset Michigan will truly reign supreme for a while. I’m not a Michigan fan at all, just love the sport.
Colin Cowherd tried to tell you Joe how Great Harbaugh's coaching acumen is in College football and you & the world just laughed at him. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
He also said Michigan was better than Georgia last year. Didn't work out too well for him. Cowherd doesn't have the best prediction track record.
The wildest part about this game, our Dline didn’t play well at all. We got zero pass rush the entire game and shut them down. Hutch And Ojabo would have had 8+ sacks with this secondary
I want to know , if Michigan would have lost by 22 to OSU on Saturday, would that 1 loss Michigan make the playoff... I would say absolutely not. So why OSU? It was 22 at home! This is why, absolutely why the playoff format needs to expand. There has to be a top 8 playoff.
Agreed. No Alabama either. It's time to open up for other teams to get in there. I'd like to see Georgia, M, USC, and TCU (assuming they win out, of course, which I think they will).
the question I would ask is who should be in there ahead of OSU? If USC for example loses, it's not enough to say 'OSU lost by 22'. It was closer than that most of the game of course, but who is a better choice? I mean if you say no Bama either, than who is more deserving?
@@strategicsage7694 probably a one loss Tcu if it's a close game.
@@timleineke1997 Arguable, but why? It's certainly not a clear call there. Kansas State isn't nearly as accomplished an opponent as Michigan is.
@@strategicsage7694 I think just because it's an extra game .. it's a championship game for the division .. something OSU won't even have the shot to play for
Football is football. The Harbaugh Family Football Team has always worked. Must have a very good QB
And the key pieces as you describe built from inside out. Like Steelers in the 70’s. I will take that every day all year.
Joel I can't disagree with anything you said. My Buckeyes aren't tough enough up front on both sides of the Ball. And our Dbs are horrible.
Defensive scheme hung them out to dry. Don’t be too hard on em. You guys sold out to stop the run and didn’t fear a passing attack. To your dismay
I don't even watch college football but I watch Joel Klatt's podcast about CFB. I don't know who to root for tbh.
I would like to thank you very much for what you said about Ryan Day at the end of your Michigan-Ohio State commentary. Ryan Day is an awesome coach who cares greatly about his players. In spite of any game losses and on-the-spot errors in judgement, I think that most Buckeye fans realize that Ohio State is very fortunate to have him running the program. One thing that struck me recently was toward the end of the Maryland post-game press conference last week when he said, "Coahes run, too, when there's penalties." So, he obviously takes his responsibilities very seriously while showing the coaching staff's commitment to all being a part of the team.
But what I would like to point out today is that Jim Harbaugh began his tenure as head coach at the University of Michigan in 2015. That means it has taken him 7 seasons to build the team he has today. Ryan Day took over as full-time head coach at Ohio State in 2019. So, like Harbaugh, he deserves the courtesy of time to build the team he desires. I think we all recognize that as good as his team is this year, it is still a work in progress.
