I'm not sure it is the talent gap, it's just that OSU is exposing the hole that Minnesota showed. Defending that read option has been their Achilles heel.

Agreed. There's a bit of a talent gap, and Michigan is hopefully going to have faster LBs in the future, and certainly being down two top interior lineman is brutal. But, yeah -- the book on how to attack this defense is clear now, and OSU has the perfect personnell to do it.

The book on attacking this defense is hit them where they don't have talent. That's pretty much the epitome of a talent problem.

[Wellington_beefhouser]

Helpless. It hurts to watch run after run.

[Kstat]

At this point they could be 4th and 10 and still run up the gut for a first down.

Then you have a talent gap problem with Minnesota and Indiana.

[klondike]

Yeah. Even the great Bo couldn't stop running qbs. Seems a Michigan thing.

[Kstat]

Yeah, the lack of talent at LB is pretty much 100% of the reason why they're losing. There's nothing about this that involves scheme or mentality.

This game is over. Hopefully Harbaugh can learn from this for the next game and beyond.

28-10, evil. I would think that puts it out of reach.

Ohio State's done nothing all that tricky-- they've just run their base offense. Michigan just can't do anything about it.

Then you have a talent gap problem with Minnesota and Indiana.

LB wise they do. It wasn't a problem when Glasgow was covering for them.

Good heavens. Well, credit due to linesman. He saw it coming I guess. He's perhaps having a better time watching his wife spend money at the mall.

This is awfully disappointing.

[paul daugherity]

The talent gap is everywhere. UM's lbs are not good. They have no running game. IU and Minnesota were able to exploit UM's poor lbs.

[SeattleLionsFan]

The tacking has been really very disappointing. Easily the biggest culprit in the lead (plus Meyer remembering how to call a game)

[Cody_Russell]

Rooting for MSU now that OSU is going to win.
OSU 11-1 vs Michigan since 2004. That one win ... Woohoo, good job beating terrible Fickel.

This has kind of been the complete opposite of Hoke's first season -- the dumb luck hurt instead of helped. Fumbles were rarely recovered. Interceptions through the hands. Etc, etc. It's obvious but comforting -- we should feel just so, so much better about this year's 9-3 rather than '11's 10-2.
