Michigan vs. Ohio State: T minus 4 days and counting

This Blog will be mostly a Football Blog until Saturday.

The National Title hopes of the Ohio State Buckeyes come crashing down on them this Saturday, November 18, 2006, at 3:30PM. The Michigan Wolverines will be putting a real hurt on the Buckeyes.

The biggest reason UM is back on top, look no further than new defensive coordinator Ron English. He has infused the nation's third-ranked defense with a swagger that was missing in 2005. LaMarr Woodley and the nation's best front seven, and English (who is rumored to be in line for the Michigan State job) should get major credit for UM's revival. Michigan's D is stacked from front to back, but its success starts with a dominating front line (ends LaMarr Woodley, Rondell Biggs and Tim Jamison, tackles Branch and Terrance Taylor and hybrid LB Shawn Crable).

That front seven makes Michigan better equipped than any team in the country -- and certainly better suited than they were the past two years -- to contain Ohio State star QB Troy Smith.

Tomorrow: Offense
