The Big Game Recap

The Ohio State-Michigan game lived up to its billing. It was a well-played (if not well defended) game that was exciting almost all the way through.
Michigan was unable to find enough good cornerbacks to defend OSU's three great receivers (Robiskie, Gonzalez and Ginn). Add in a couple long runs and you can see how it happened.
But Michigan was also very effective on offense and might have learned a strategy for a potential rematch. Which could be likely because Michigan is still #2 in the BCS rankings. But the USC-Notre Dame winner could get a bump, especially if it's USC.

One final word on the penalties, the game was well officiated. The helmet-to-helmet hit on Troy Smith was duly flagged, and the faceguarding call which set up the last Michigan touchdown was also the right call.
