Being a Wolverine fan for over 50 yrs, this win was so special. Watching with my dad who is a MSU fan. Watching him cheer jump yell after every Michigan score. I will never forget this VICTORY. AMAZING BLUE THANKS

Throughout the whole game Michigan never looked nervous. After the first quarter it was all smiles. The big plays really shellshocked the psych of OSU. Even when they went up by 3 they had a lifeless look on their sideline compared to UM

Honestly don’t know how this show doesn’t have 1 Mil subscribers, incredible analysis and insights

The defensive adjustment was made. They started respecting the pass game and took some guys out of the box in the 2nd half. That's when Michigan started going to their run game again. OSU was loading the box all first half, they knew they couldn't stop Michigan's run game without doing it.

❤my late Uncle passed away just 5 months ago. He was one of the biggest Mich fans I’ve ever known. Last year he got to see Mich win over Osu before he passed away. This year he got a front row seat from his heavenly home!! I know he was screaming and celebrating just like all of us!!!!

Michigan is positioned to win several more in a row in this series. Harbaugh is in a groove.🔥🏈

Idk why so many of our fans make excuses. We got our asses beat. Flat out. Harbaugh and his players never faltered. It was that mindset that kept them in the game. And it’s what won them the game. One side was disciplined all day. The other was not. And even tho I’m a buckeye fan, Michigan deserved it. Straight up, they did. So hats off to them. Idk about the Natty cause Georgia is still a thing, but for once the Big Ten has some confidence. Good luck

Josh is not just a RU-vid pontificator, he (and his staff) are true experts in this field of understanding college football. Well done.

Despite MI's offensive performance, I think that knock out of the Oh St. ball in the end zone on what was going to be a touchdown catch ended up being perhaps the pivotal play in the second half. That play showed just how much Michigan has come in both coaching and recruiting. It was only a few years ago that Mi players didn't have that kind of speed, confidence and discipline to pull off that knock out.

Go Harbaugh!

O-Hi-o was shellshocked because their entire Universe revolves around beating TTUN. It's all consuming. When JJ scored from the 3...the crowd realized they may lose.

What is crazy is Michigan was on the verge of firing Harbough, now he has made it to the playoffs 2 years in a row.

I love to see Ohio State humbled, especially with how rare it is.

Michigan showed up to win. We showed up to not lose. We don’t deserve playoffs. This felt like a mid ‘90’s John Cooper game to me. Hats off to Michigan.

Josh made a great point about not able to point to one specific thing that will improve Ohio State. Recruiting, coaching and playmaking are just tangible part of the game. The intangibles like mental toughness, resiliency and desire to win etc is tied to team culture and leadership which takes time and can't be easily fixed. When the competition is at the highest level it really comes down to having an edge in intangibles.

By far the best take that I have seen on *The Game* Keep doing that you're going, Josh. You and Joel Klatt are jewels in the world of college football analysis.

Been a Michigan fan since birth. This is the first video of yours I’ve watched. Nice call last week on the passing game ramping up when we needed it. If someone would’ve told me they’d score 17 points in the first half on 0 yards rushing, I would have simply said “HOW?!” This game marked a turning point for JJ McCarthy in his Michigan career, and it was great to see him looking like the kid we all thought he was coming in. I believe this kid is different and wouldn’t swap him out for any QB in the nation after the BIG GAME ice cold nerves he showed on Saturday. Last year would’ve been forgotten if Michigan lost this game, and the results haven’t fully shown themselves of what beating Osu in their own house by 3 TDs plus, and ending their season two years in a row. All of a sudden Michigan isn’t intimidated, all of a sudden Michigan is the 4th quarter bully, all of a sudden Ohio state has to win on what they have in the present, because the past is no longer an advantage for them. By the way, JJ McCarthy’s performance yesterday was on full display to every 5 star receiver in America and who wouldn’t want that kid passing to them? Beautiful game. Go Blue!

This is the best report on Michigan football I've ever heard hands down. 👍

The star players for Michigan were the offensive and defensive lines. Harbaugh recruited and prepared this team like the Bo Schembechler and Woody Hayes O and D lines. Mean, tough and fast. Plus, they had a special game plan just for this one game.

When Josh Pate says, "Michigan Football," I think of a calmness in the battle. I think of not just confidence but a team which is very disciplined. When Ohio State Number 88 head butted one of our players, the Michigan player dropped his hands and stared at the player. That Michigan player knew that there was a fifteen yard penalty awaiting him. That's total discipline and a team as Mr. Pate would say, "A TEAM and PLAYERS that don't flinch."

Floored by this analysis. Really outstanding stuff from a national pundit. Liked, subscribed, following!

Michigan ran them over the second half. It wasn't just two big runs. Go back and watch the game. They were getting consistent yards on the ground in the second half. In fact they were converting most of their 3rd downs RUNNING the ball. Even if it 6 or 7 yards. Those two long runs were just the knock punches after Michigan was softening them up with body blow after body blow. Second year in a row this has happened. OSU fans can't be cocky anymore when it comes to Michigan. They are punking y'all on the field now.

This recap, this commentary EARNED a subscription on its own!!

Harbaugh was right, many many people think Day hit a triple because he's on third. As it turns out he is just a pitch runner for Urban still.

Michigan is a tougher team and in better physical condition too. I could see the OSU defensive players gasping for air at one point in the 2nd half and knew it was over. That pounding from the O/L takes its toll and when the opposing defense gets tired, it opens up the big plays. This is why Michigan is so good in the 2nd half.

Some of the most knowledgeable and interesting commentary around.

Rumor has it, Edwards actually ran the game ball back to A2, and beat the busses home!

I had put money on OSU spread boy I didn’t expect that.Good coaching won this ball game shoutout to Michigan fans y’all deserve to celebrate the world was against you guys.

Harbaugh and the young men in winged helmets brought home a serious piece of respect that the Michigan fans, alum, and Ann Arborites will never forget! 🙌🏼〽️

Jim Harbaugh finally delivered what everyone was expecting when he came back to Michigan. I think even he will admit that he thought it was going to be easier to bring Michigan back to greatness. It seemed easier to build Stanford into a great team than it has been Michigan.

Every other team is playing a game. Michigan is going to work. That's the difference.

The Fightin' Harbaughs looked pretty good wrecking the Buckeyes.

BAMA Fan.... Defense ....Big Blue... Great win IN OHIO State HOUSE!!!!

Like your insight! Like that you tell the truth without being for one Team. Would love to see a few guest on your show to bring more depth in the big games around the league! Keep up the great work.

Many in Michigan knew they had a great passing game. They held it back all year waiting for this game...They held back to the game. Then played a totally different game on both sides of the ball for each half..That is exactly what the Suckeyes have been doing for several years..Its shocking the Butteyes didnt even realize their own game was being played against them.

Shout out to Josh. A UP ( Sault Sainte Marie)reference is an appreciated deep cut.

Great analysis. The pressure on the Buckeyes in this game was suffocating once the actual game started. Especially with the missed opportunities early in the game. You could see the demeanor of the OSU players change as the game went on- all because of the pressure of expectations. I lived through the Cooper years and I would see it on the Buckeyes back then until Tressel showed up. I also saw it on the Michigan players faces for the past 20 years until their breakthrough last year. It’s goi g to take special group of Buckeyes and a ton of resolve in AA next year to turn the tide back - but it can be done!

I'm in a media blackout for a week, this is the one exception I'm making because this show is so great. But I'm quitting early cause it's all about Michigan. Just leaving these gems.... OSU called plays like TTUN had TWO Blake Corums and no Wide Receivers....Guess what, they had NO Blake Corum and multiple WRs, and not a single fuckin adjustment was made after half time.... the one thing OSU & Ryan Day are KNOWN FOR, is half time adjustments, and they just blew it. Second: This is the end of the season, bowl games don't mean shit now, even if we went to the CFP it don't mean shit. Even if we go to the CFP, and somehow play Michigan in the Championship and win, IT STILL DOESN'T MATTER! You may as well say OSU & UM shares the title at that point.

Imagine a fan base wanting a 45-5 head coach to get fired because of two of those losses, so spoiled

This is my first time watching one of your videos. The way you communicate and deliver your takes is top notch. You should be on espn brotha man. Kudos!

I am a Michigan fan from Flint.

Gut wrenching is being a Georgia alum who spends a lot of time in Ann Arbor with friends and family who's looking at very good chance that my 1A and 1B teams are about to square off again in the CFP. I want them both to be there, I'd much rather they meet in round two, but damn I'm going to be torn again. Go Dawgs, but Go Blue, too 😆

Unknown at the time of this recording…. Donovan Edwards, in addition to his broken hand, was playing with a torn patellar tendon as well. Tough kid.

I have been a Michigan fan for over 50 years. I now live in SC but will always be a Michigan fan. My blood will always run blue GO BLUE 💙

First time I've listened to your show... it's now one of my favorites!!

I liked Michigan over Ohio State on my show. Michigan is tougher on line than OSU.

I don't care what kind of chaos happens, with a schedule as weak as OSU's, a blowout loss at home is disqualifying from the CFP. There are 10 teams I'd put in over them after seeing that game.

Hey, Josh! As usual, your take on The Game is spot on. I am a Buckeye fan that remembers the Woody Hayes years, so I've been around a bit. The reason for the fan base reaction and so many calling for the dismissal of Ryan Day is that the collapse in The Game is startlingly reminiscent to what happened with Coach John Cooper. Cooper recruited at a great level and built some of the most talented Buckeye teams to ever grace the shoe.......and he went 2-10-1 against Michigan......in much the same manner - getting beaten soundly when we were highly ranked and seemingly on our way to a National Championship. I think that Ohio State made a poor decision in hiring day for one reason......he wasn't a successful major college head coach prior to coming to OSU and he is learning on the job. Both Tressel and Meyer - Ohio guys through and through - had head coach experience and understood the rivalry in a way that no outsider ever will. This fact - and I'm sure it seems petty to you - cannot be overstated. Keep up the good work and I never miss a show!

You can over analyze this game forever. The bottom line is Michigan for the second year in a row was far more physical than Ohio state. That was the difference in the game

Ryan Day DID try to go for it on that 3rd down when CJ was waving Special Teams off the field. If you rewatch that punt, OSU had a fake punt with a run to the left lined up PERFECTLY! But the center snapped it to the kicker instead of the direct snap to the RB.

Imagine next year in Ann Arbor 🤯

So many good words - thank you for this video. I love your comments about Michigan confidence💪🏽👊🏽

Excellent analysis. I subscribed and look forward to further shows.

Good observations, Josh - from kick-off to final gun. I enjoyed a schadenfreude Sunday, listening to OSU podcasts. Remember though, many Mich fans called for Harbaugh's head on a platter, not so long ago. He took a pay cut and kept going to work.

My sports betting career ended with this one.

Prophetic. Totally spot on. As a Michigan Alum, never lost faith in Harbaugh and the true glue that holds the team together - real confidence. Our rival's fans should take a look at Michigan sticking with Harbaugh in the lowest and least productive times. Bailing on Ryan Day is simply -- ridiculously simplistic and massively shortsighted.

Congrats Michigan! Way to hand "the" Ohio st "THE" big L again, and in the shoe this year no less! See you boys in the playoffs. - Uga fan

My Dawgs and Michigan are similarly built. Wouldn't surprise me if both play in the Natty. I liked them all year long and even thought they looked better than last year.

This analysis was incredible

That Michigan 4th down conversion on the opening drive of the second half was the game changer. It happened so quick I had to rewind to make sure I had seen it correctly!

As an The Ohio State University fan, I want Ryan Day gone. Can't lose to "The team up north" two years in a row especially when the playoffs are on the line. I would love to have Urban back!

a game changer shows up when it truly matters! Just like Tom Brady ! Winners win when it matters. JJ as a lot more big games ahead of him to prove it but this win was the first HUGE one of hopefully many!🙌🏽〽️CJ had all the ability, talent and tools surrounded around him to be the best OSU qb all time but just like the whole Program they DONT HAVE HEART! You can't teach it or train it! Those 5 stars you get come woth huge egos that AMPLIFY at OSU. We get those gritty midwest boys out working in the fields and multiple jobs to support their family. Kids woth a backbone and chip on their shoulder. Kids raised waking up at 5 am to shovel the driveways for their parents and elderly neighbors. Kids who are a product of those factory long hour working blue collar folks punching the clock every day. This is Michigan old school midwest ball and it's not leaving for a LONG LOOOONG TIME〽️〽️〽️〽️🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

Oh we saw them on the sidelines Michigan is head strong and I think watching Georgia after the game they saw what it takes .Ohio thinks because they recruit so called more talent the deserved it

Ryan Day should change nothing. - signed UM fan

Michigan fans do not cry over a loss. It is frustrating knowing the Ohio fans will be 100% obnoxious for yet another year.

first off... GO BLUE. but what I love about this game was that after the game both teams hugged and gave respect to each other. Need the team down south to continue to be good so we show the US what an actual rivalry looks like.

Great analysis. Amazing year and result Saturday - 13 drives (6 tds, fg, missed fg, stopped on 4th in OSU territory.) 230 yards rushing in second half. 28-3. -3 yards rushing for OSU qb. Best o and d players out. #2 back with a cast. Played #6 back. Replaced 8 starters on defense. Replaced o and d coordinators. And on and on.

Josh you nailed it when you mentioned the need for QB's to be able to run the ball. Personally, I feel like the difference in the past two years in the UM/OSU game has been the fact that CJ Stroud doesn't pose a big threat to run the ball. In years past the dual threat ability of the OSU QB like Justin Fields, JT Barrett, Terrell Pryor made life for Michigan defensive game planning very difficult. Specifically, against Michigan (as a Michigan fan) I don't fear too many teams that have a pro style pocket passing QB as lately our secondary has been able to hold their own against great WR's. Again, Michigan specifically has historically had issues against mobile QB's..........just look at Stetson Bennett last year.

It's always good to see people who didn't pick Michigan give their input

Kudos to you for posting this. takes some guts to sift through all that wreckage. Like I felt until last year.

Saw a great post on Reddit breaking down that the 4th and 6th punt by Ohio state in the 3rd quarter was a botched fake punt. All the signs are there. Biggest mistake for Ohio state was pulling stroud to perform a high risk high reward fake punt. Put some faith in the players.

I like the way you analyze a team . You totally dissect it, and point out its various strengths and weaknesses. I myself have learned a lot more about the analytics of the game listening to U than any other sportscaster in the country. Your football acumen is second to none.💯👍

Modern college football has big, tall edge rushers that run 4.5 40s and can drop back in pass coverage. You absolutely need a dual-threat QB or you get dominated. CJ Stroud is a great passer, but that’s just half of the position today.

First time seeing this podcast. Josh is absolutely spot-on with his analysis, and is giving voice to the issues I was observing during the game, e.g. no meaningful defensive adjustment at halftime and no mobility by Stroud. How Ryan Day could have said he was satisfied going into the locker room at halftime was beyond me then, as Michigan had already demonstrated two explosive plays that left the Buckeyes flat-footed and out-played. Kudos to Michigan...best thing they ever did was hang on to Harbaugh during the rough years. I wish them well in the CFP. Let's see if Day has the humility to recognize where he failed in his prep and actually learn lessons that can help the Buckeyes going forward.

Wow! First time I've watched you and I'm kicking myself for not finding you much sooner. I've heard takes and observations from you in the last 27 minutes that I have not heard from anybody else! I've been watching a LOT of shows since The Game and hearing the same thing over and over again. Until now... Thank You! I especially loved your comments on both teams players after the games this year and last. That makes the game of college football so much more human oriented instead of just numbers on a field and numbers on a sheet of paper. Looking forward to your future insights as a new SUB. Take care!

It’s fun to see the ohio fan base want to see Day gone when they loaded the comments on videos like these with how happy they were when Harbaugh signed his extension with Michigan.

Michigan has a QB that can run and Osu doesn't times have changed. Troy Smith he killed us along with others too.

Like you said they 'should' beat everyoen else on their schedule. I agree. So how can you say the coach's job could not be in question. It really means that with his talent he only gets to show his acumen for coaching a couple times a year. And now its two years in a row where the game wasnt close. Now I am a Michigan fan and when harbaugh was having his seat get warm i didnt think it was fair, but it was more because those games were contested, and I did think JH was doing enough with his talent even though we hadnt won against OSU. The punt game against MSU and the spot game in 2016 at the Shoe, the COVID year. But while I think there is a rush to oust a coach it is true that Day has better talent and is getting totally outcoached. When Michigan got blown out in 2018 & 2019 by OSU he got rid of Don Brown. Day needs to show he is willing to change in whatever way necessary and possible.

The funny thing I found was Reggie bush and the rest of the fox analysis or analysts was Ohio State took Michigan's best punch. They hit on two lucky plays. Stay out of cover zero. And u got them right where u want them. Man at the end of the game they had to pivot off of what they where saying and start boosting Michigan halftime adjustments lol 😆 😂 🤣

Good grief!🙄 A 33 and 2 record but wanting to get rid of the coach….talk about throwing the baby out with the bath water SMH 🤦🏻‍♀️

For years there was criticism and howls for Harbaugh's dismissal because he couldn't win Ohio State, Big 10 and national championship. Last year that turned around and this year everyone is Harbaugh's biggest fan. Now Day has to listen to the same nonsense. I'm a huge Blue fan and thrilled with the results of the past 2 seasons. But I hate to see armchair quarterbacks ready to throw a coach to the curb over a tough rivalry loss. As you say, time for reflection, adjustment and preparation for the next season. We need to do the same in victory. See you in Ann Arbor 2023.

Glad this video was recommended to me. Love the analysis. I don't think I could possible agree anymore with anyone else's take on the game and the current dynamics between the two programs. Liked and subscribed and rang the bell. Thanks Josh.

I enjoy listening to people who are not you talk crazy about Michigan and how Harbaugh coaches his team. Most blast him because of his offensie not being like everyone else. I keep telling people that JH doesn't care what other people think and He's going to do what he believes gives them the best opportunity to win.

Great analysis. I subscribed right after watching

Bama rolled them in that 2020 natty game after all that smack talk by Ohio st fans they got personal with nasty insults made that beat down even sweeter !!

BEST LINE EVER!!! “YOU GOT DRUG!!! Great Commentary… Best I’ve heard since Swami! I’ll be tuning in from now on! Go Blue!!!

I understand these two team have a huge history and playing each other means everything but Ohio State still is 11 - 1. Still a great record.

Wth...where have I been. How have I not seen and already subscribed to this channel. Not that I am just trying to consume as much Michigan talk as possible but this was very well crafted.

So long. Toughen up. Proud Michigan Alum and Michigan Mom

I love how all the talking heads gushed on Ohio state and that “they can’t be beat” and the constant disrespect Michigan got leading to it, Michigan is legit and they were all wrong in the picks, I bet Vegas made a lot of money on Saturday lol 😂

Watched this again. I so appreciate commentary to give Michigan its share of the credit. Watching other commentators who keep implying the game belonged to OSU and they "gave it away." Your commentary is frankly better because you have a more systemic way of looking at college football. Speaking of quarterbacks who can throw and run: Joe Montana! Way ahead of his time.

MICHIGAN 45 vs OSU 23 in Columbus, Ohio. God give us life and health, next season (2023) we will see Michigan finally completely annihilate all the Buckeyes fans in the Big House.

As many adjustments Ohio state needs to make it seems damn near impossible. Michigans identity is running the ball which is suitable for Ohio state. Time of possession, game planning, discipline, toughness is the reason why Ohio state lost. Stroud could have thrown the ball for 500 yards and they still would have lost!

Don't forget McCarthy and Edwards are 19 years old and true sophomores. Ohio State must come up to Ann Arbor again next year for their annual beatdown 😈

Big10 is WEAK! They don’t even play ranked teams. Penn State is ranked #8 and they have not 1 single ranked win. It’s ridiculous!

I said this on other videos, and I'll say it here too - CJ Stroud looked like he was about to start crying the moment OSU had to settle for a field goal in the second half. That was the moment where his will seemed to just drain away completely. He looked on the verge of tears the ENTIRE second half. He might be a shiny new NFL pick, but I've got a feeling this loss, even more than last year's, is going to mentally haunt him for a long time.

Ohio state's defense was exposed. The big 10 is offensively challenged overall. Easier to play defense against team's with vanilla offenses and bad quarterback play. Michigan is elite Ohio state's defense couldn't hold up. Pac 12 quarterbacks and offenses would kill Ohio state's defense weekly

150k subs is a crime, this guy deserves much more

Facts!!! Buckeye fans think national championships should be awarded based off recruiting stars
