- Aaron J. Thornton/ Michigan gained the upper hand in its rivalry with Ohio State by getting tougher on the interior. The Wolverines bullied the Buckeyes with their incredible ground production in the last two editions of the rivalry. Michigan will try to bludgeon the Ohio State defense with 30-plus rushing plays behind Corum, who did not play much in last year's meeting. Corum, who has a rushing touchdown in every game this season, will be vital to the Wolverines' success on home soil. Ohio State owns the second-best scoring defense in the FBS behind Michigan, but it does allow 108.5 rushing yards per contest. Michigan leads the FBS in total yards allowed per game at 234.8. Ohio State is third at 252.9 yards conceded per contest. The Wolverines have a clear strategy to enforce their dominance with the ground game on offense and to keep Ohio State's offense out of a rhythm. Michigan ran for 252 yards on 35 carries last season against Ohio State and it held the Buckeyes to three second-half points. Corum, J.J. McCarthy and Co. know exactly how to beat Ohio State, and until the Buckeyes prove they caught up to Michigan's success on the ground, the Wolverines have to be favored in the rivalry.
