No. 19 Michigan at Ohio State
Saturday, 12:00 p.m., ABC
Line: Ohio State -3.5
The Big Game may not be quite up to the magnitude of 2006's historic No. 1 vs. No. 2, but any time Michigan and Ohio State get together it is worth paying attention to. This year's edition of the storied Big Ten rivalry brings a unique twist to the series, with Ohio State looking to cap an undefeated season with no chance of playing for a Big Ten championship or in a bowl game. Michigan would love to hand their rivals the first loss of the season, but the Wolverines could also be playing for a spot in the Big Ten Championship Game, next week in Indianapolis against Wisconsin, if things work out in their favor Friday.
If Nebraska should happen to slip up at Iowa Friday, a Michigan win would send the Wolverines to the Big Ten championship game. To do so against the undefeated Buckeyes would make it all that much sweeter.

It was a beat down. Not only was it a beat down in the Big House last Saturday, it was a beat down that was long, long, over due.
Iowa had beaten the Wolverines for three straight years. While that is an anomaly, it occurred. Once again, there are certain things that championship teams simply do not do.
Allowing teams to beat you consistently is one of those things. The Wolverines...

Run game is Gardner’s “best friend” (w/video)
Despite the season ending injury to junior running back Fitz Toussaint, the Michigan offense is fully utilizing play action to open up the passing game. With a dangerous Denard Robinson in the backfield, more could be on the way.
The depths of the Ohio State-Michigan rivalry
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) - Devin Gardner has flourished in three straight starts at quarterback for Michigan.
Denard Robinson is healthy enough to play, but can't seem to do more than lightly lob a short pass.
So, is there any chance Robinson will go back to being the team's QB on Saturday at Ohio State?
"I guess he could," Wolverines coach Brady Hoke said with a straight...

Last week against Iowa, the Michigan coaching staff revealed a twist to the offense which had never been seen before in the capacity that it was used: Denard Robinson and Devin Gardner on the field at the same time, with Gardner under center instead of Denard. Last year, Gardner did get some playing time at quarterback while Denard ran some plays at wide receiver or running back...

Lightning-quick QBs pose problems for defenses
The most potent weapons for No. 20 Michigan and No. 4 Ohio State are undoubtedly their quarterbacks.
Pity their poor defenses in the big showdown on Saturday.
Devin Gardner and Denard Robinson, who may line up everywhere but behind the center due to an arm injury, are the speedsters who lead the Wolverines' attack. Meanwhile the Buckeyes rely on Braxton Miller, who likes to...

Start ‘Em:Braxton Miller – Ohio State vs. MichiganLast year at this time my gut had a feeling that Denard Robinson would carry his team against their hated rival, and this year my gut has a similar feeling. Miller was not spectacular last week against Wisconsin and it would be natural to be apprehensive playing him against Michigan. But my gut thinks Braxton will put the offense...
