HT #5 Michigan 14 #2 Ohio State 13

My goddamned computer didn't update the score. After the "Buckeyes" took the lead 10-7, Michigan went 82 yards in 13 plays and 5:21 of game time to retake the lead 14-10. "Bucks" then went 62 yards in 12 plays and 3:42 to bring us to the HT score. Reads like a real slog of a B1G game. Let's take a look at the stats...Extremely close, wow. 11 1st downs to 12; 222 yards to 230; MI does have the edge in TOP, 16:10-13:50. Game management is so key in college football. Ohio State obviously has a tremendously explosive offense (ask Sparty). MI obviously is playing excellent D but if you can limit the explosive team's TOP you limit their explosive plays. Elementary, my dear Watson.
