Michigan Beats Ohio State - Josh Pate Rapid Reaction (Late Kick Cut)

I was in attendance for this game, I've never seen so few OSU fans for this game, I've never heard the stadium louder, I think the idea of the big house being quiet has completely flipped. That atmosphere was electric and intimidating. The new press boxes and much bigger video boards are holding in tons of noise. That place was rocking.

As a ND fan, a defensive back intercepting a pass to shut down Ohio State's last drive was such a mix of gladness for them and what could have been for us. Almost the same look as our DB missing an interception earlier in the year. Oof

A thought on Ryan day; one of the many reasons that so much weight is put on the Michigan game and he's getting so much criticism is its the one game on their schedule that they don't have a MASSIVE talent advantage. You don't have to be a good coach to beat Michigan st or Minnesota with that roster. The measure of a coach is what happens when the talent is fairly equal. And in those games his record is unimpressive

The way the Michigan team rallied around each other after the Zinter injury is not being talked about enough. Momentum was swinging to Ohio State around then, but Zinter went down and the team went berzerk.

It was a great game. I'm a Buckeye fan so it was tough to take another loss to Michigan. That said, Michigan has been the better team the last 3 years. I am old enough to have experienced the pendulum swing one way and the other over the decades. It happens. OSU had a tremendous run against UM from 2000 to 2019, winning 17 times in that period. Tressel went 9-1 vs UM. Luke Fickel lost in his interim year. Then Urban went 7-0 vs UM. The Ryan Day won his first game in 2019. Ryan would have won the game in 2020 but it was cancelled due to Covid. But credit Michigan for being patient with Harbaugh and now he has won the last 3. Harbaugh is now 3-5 vs OSU but these last 3 years have been impressive because UM also has one of the better teams in the country. So now we will see how Ohio State responds. All that said the Buckeyes played well and it was not a blowout like last year. The difference in this game was QB play. OSU had an inexperienced first-year guy and UM had a good veteran. Congrat to my Michigan friends. I hope we get you next year. As for Ryan Day being fired that is nothing more than OSU fans letting the rivalry get to them. Yes, it's a big deal but you don't just go fire a coach who is 56-7 in his 5 years of coaching. Unless you know for fact that you can bring back Urban I'm not sure getting rid of Ryan Day solves any issues.

No Head Coach…. Lost your best Offensive Lineman. Lost your best Corner Back. Ryan Day just got punked by a coach who was assuming 3 roles as Offensive Line Coach, Offensive Coordinator and Head Coach.

I am thankful to Jesus that I was able to attend that game. That was my first ever time going to a Michigan game. It was SO LOUD. Go Blue baby.〽️〽️〽️

Last pass that was intercepted was a 50/50 ball Harrison saw it would be a big contact play and pulled up. Can't believe no one's talking about it

Ryan Day is now 1-3 against Michigan.

RYAN DAY BORN ON 3RD BASE THINKS HE HIT A TRIPPLE

Buckeye fan here and I was hesitant to click on this video, but you deliver such a balanced, rational analysis. Thanks for helping me in my recovery 😂

In Regards to Ryan Day, I need to bring this up for Ohio State and Michigan Fans Sake: What we're asking about him now is the EXACT SAME Question we were asking about Jim Harbough 3 Years Ago. What's different now is that the Roles have been Reversed, and now we're going to see if Ohio State is as patient with Ryan Day as Michigan was with Jim Harbough. And to me, that will Speak VOLUMES about Ohio State compared to Michigan Now. It was a Great Game, No Question about it, but now the question shifts to what Ohio State does now. AND ALL EYES ARE WATCHING.

Blake is a Michigan legend. As a Michigan fan, 1 I hate but respect that OSU team. Don’t like Day but I believe he talked to Zinters parents. That was classy. 2 I am conflicted at the scandals. Because these kids are just that good, driven and focused. That last part is what I celebrate.

That pick early on was the difference. Can’t make that kinda mistake in a rivalry game on the road. Especially when you don’t have a special QB who can make up for that kind of mistake

In 2021, Michigan beat Ohio State because of physicality and efficiency. The Wolverines dominated the Buckeyes on both lines of scrimmage and moved the ball up and down the field with rampant efficiency through both the run and passing game. In 2022, Michigan beat Ohio State because of explosive plays. Michigan forced Ohio State to meticulously drive the ball down the field with consistency while generating 5 plays of 40+ yards themselves. While the last 2 seasons felt like Michigan taking advantage of a matchup and winning through that aspect (lines of scrimmage in 2021 and secondary in 2022), this felt different. Michigan beat Ohio State by just straight up being the better team. The Wolverines stayed on schedule offensively more effectively and even for as well played the game generally was, Michigan always both responded and/or stayed a step or two ahead. Their quarterback didn’t make mistakes, their run game stepped up more, and their defense got crucial stops and turnovers. Josh nailed it, Michigan’s entire operation is just a little ahead of Ohio State’s right now, and this team is absolutely capable of winning a national championship. They’ve been the most consistently dominant team all season and should probably be #1 in the playoff rankings tomorrow, and I say that as a Georgia fan.

Probably the best evaluation of the game and the rivalry on RU-vid.

People also wanted Harbaugh out. I said the same thing you are saying about Day. Harbaugh needs to stay. A lot of fans go off of emotion not logic. Day is a good coach. Good luck finding someone better.

I was there in 1995 Biaccabatu got 303 and UM knocked OSU out of the BCS.

Sure the loss was tough as a Buckeye fan. But we can appreciate that it was a good game. Michigan was just tougher. Plain and simple. They needed a perfect game, and they got it. Much respect and good luck

Let's all remember that all of this "sign stealing" hull-a-baloo started with Ryan Day hiring his brother-in-law to dig up dirt on Michigan. And then the Big 10 penalizing the Wolverines without any kind of hearing of finding of facts. Michigan was simply pissed ... because the press simply isn't covering this story in a balanced way.

As a Michigan fan and HS coach this was a great commentary. Ryan Day has to what Jimmy was forced to do define the Identity of his team, and live or die by that culture. My undefeated teams required me to chew on the loss for months like dry beef jerky.🤨 Great coaches hate to loose more than the love to win.

Can we give Josh pate credit for always giving teams credit when they earn it?

Everyone busy talking about OSU, maybe breakdown the team who won the game.

Best review of the game out period none biased and just factually correct. Well done 👏

Our coach at Michigan is a great coach

This is why I always bet against your picks. Made some good money.

I don't disagree with the idea that slam dunk hires are few and far between, but you seem to have forgotten one other recent slam dunk hire--and it was one made by Ohio State. Urban Meyer had won two championships when he was hired and went on to win another with Ohio State. There's nobody really out there with that pedigree now though, unless they pull Dabo away from Clemson somehow (Saban and Smart are clearly never leaving their respective schools).

Biggest Issue: GET MARVIN THE BALL. You literally have a roadmap for how to do this. In the 2021 natty, Davanta Smith carved us up by running all over the field pre-snap. It’s very difficult to bracket or double-team somebody when they are the fastest player in college football and you’re running thru linebackers to stay with them. Hand the ball off to him, run screens, put him in the freaking wildcat… do whatever you have to do to make sure he gets the ball 20-25 times. Not 5 times. 🤯🤯🤯

Ohio just isn’t tough enough.. too soft

Look how Josh Pate (A Soft SEC yet objective commentator) understands how important The Game is. Critique Ryan Day yet still give Michigan credit. The most objective college football commentator and this as a Michigan fan!

Josh sure talked a lot, but he didn’t say much

Whats crazy about Michigan is that the offensive play calling had been compromised since Harbaugh has been out and they’ve still been good enough to win. Hopefully we don’t call 40 inside zone reads for 1-2 yards in the playoffs

Michigan fan here, would not shock me one bit if Meyer returned to Columbus one day if results don't change on the 3rd weekend of November..

If we get up 21+ on Iowa, we need to sit JJ. We need him healthy if Michigan is gonna make a run. His running ability when healthy is gamechanging.

urban meyer was a clear grand slam when hired by osu

Michigan has been focused on wining a natty and Ohio was focused on beating Michigan

it's rare-sometimes quarterbacks do win titles with non-elite organizations. See Jameis Winston and Cam Newton. QB level of play is the reason Ohio State has dominated in Big 10 most of the time in the past 2 decades. McCord reminds me of Todd Boeckman level of QB play. He just does not go through progressions like good qbs need to. Maybe he will take a leap next year but typically you would just go to a more explosive, younger QB after losing out with this talented of a roster. Day will not be fired and that talk is stupid. The one thing that is crazy from the game is that they did not force feed the ball to Harrison on easy completions- he is a monster. Was disappointed that Harrison did not try to tackle, fight through, or play defense on that first terrible interception. The missed OPI on Cornelious Johnson was a game killer on the last long drive by MI. Overall a much better performance than last year from Buckeyes. I am curious how much losing Kevin Wilson took out of our offensive performance this year. I'm pretty sure he contributed a ton to the offenses in the previous Day years and I wonder if Hartline still needs to grow to fill that void. Just because Hartline is an awesome recruiter and WR coach doesn't mean he filled that void. Justin Frye doesn't seem to be delivering on the hype and the special teams clearly need an overhaul with the liability they are.

Completely agree with your assessment of OSU-MICHIGAN game

I was there this year and three years ago. It s an epic experience.

How do you sleep at night? Coach : On top of a pile of money with many beautiful ladies!?!

OSU hasn't won a big game in years. Lost the B10 to MI 3 years in a row. Day has beat 1 MI team. 2019 MI went 9-4 I think. This with a cupboard full of Urban Meyer players......We beat CL thx to Justin Fields. That's it in 5 years. PSU in faux. ND wasn't that good. Our 1st and ONLY loss to Oregon at home was under Day. This guy is worse than Cooper.

I said in the beginning of the year that the Turner transfer was under appreciated. Their special teams lost 2 big guys but were able to have very competent re-fills.

I thought Urban Meyer was a better coach (college) than Jim but Jims a better coach (college) than Ryan Day at least for this type of game. I would hate to see Ryan Day fired because I believe every year he is developing his players more and more and is developing as a coach more and more. I think Ohio State is headed in the right direction, just need to be patient. Ryan Day is fairly new to primetime college football and being a head coach, give him time.

I’ve attended the Game. I went to Virginia Tech and experienced Enter Sandman countless times. And I’m telling you the Indy 500 is the peak of sports. You can’t even phantom what that shit is like unless you go. 350,000+ it’s WILD

Michigan needs to be ranked #1 now.

Michigan fan here. Instead of Ryan Day worrying about getting fired, Ohio State fans should be worried about him quitting.

I disagree. For Michigan fans we’ve seen our quarterbacks getting outplayed for years. With JJ there’s a certain confidence in him and he delivers. Put in one of our old QBs with this team (Shea Patterson, O’Korn, Mccaffrey, Brandon Peters, Wilton Speight, Joe Milton). If we win it all I’d say JJ delivered us a championship, just as much if not more as Donovan Edwards, Blake Corum, Sainristil

When your coach is soft, the team is soft. You fire Day because he’s faking tough. Ohio State will always get the talent and you can hire great assistants. You find the head coach with the disposition that you want for your whole program. If OSU wants a team in Day’s image you keep him. It’s not about his record when they only play two good teams every year.

A little disappointed that Farmageddon turned Snowmageddon wasn’t talked about. That game was so much fun to watch. Abu Sama was The Dawg. Roll Clones!!!

JJ 27-1 as a starter incredible

regarding the slam dunk head coach hire, other than saban, it's only urban meyer. I say this as a michigan fan, but he's by far the best head coach I've seen. Examples below. Utah before urban: 5-6 Utah after Urban: 12 - 0 their second year. Florida before urban: 7-5 Florida after urban: championship second year, and 3, 13-1 seasons in 6 years OSU before urban: 8 - 4 OSU after urban: Undefeated first year, championship by 3rd year, and 83-9 overall. Dude may have off the field problems, but as a coach there's literally nobody better except nick saban (and i give saban his respect due to being consistently dominant and building a dynasty). In my opinion he's waiting for his opportunity with a USC or A&M perhaps. He's not gonna go back to the B1G though

The comparison of sports to war is not a bad one. Sports are what is meant to replace war in a civil society.

OSU fans consider this a down year and want to fire a coach when they go 11-1, lol. On the other hand, Michigan fans get a couple wins under their belt and think they're an elite program, lol.

This guy picked PSU over Michigan & OSU over Michigan. Obviously biased and now backtracking.

Fun fact! In the last 3 Ohio state/ Michigan meetings Michigan in the second half has only punted 1 time. 😮

OSU has been beating up on some historically bad Wolverines teams over the last two decades. Harbaugh lost his first five but he is getting close to evening up the series against some great Buckeye teams. When the playing field is level, Michigan dominates.

Michigan is the best player lead team in the nation...

I've been in a complete media blackout since they intercepted McCord on that final drive, and will continue to do so through the end of the football season. Your show is all I can take, cause I know it'll be nothing but factual.

I live in NC and I have NEVER BEEN TO THE BIG HOUSE. BUE ME A TIX and I will go with ya. Hell, I ve never been to a college football game ever and I’m a hardcore Michigan fan dem here in NC!

Huge Michigan fan and there is nothing I want more than to see OSU fire Ryan day.

Go Blue!

I was at the game this weekend and left with 1:05 left in the game. Go Blue!

Michigan is a solid team where if you blitz too much on defense it turns into Penn State getting ran by. However, you have to get after JJ and not just with 4 because he'll leak out and make a couple plays. He had his second worse QBR of the season against the blitz. Problem was OSU only ran 4 blitzes. Not to mention the abysmal LB play from OSU and that was the game. The first INT was huge and gifted UM 7 points and set the tone for the game. You can't let UM get up by 10, they'll just sit on the ball the rest of the game.

I wish Michigan had beaten Ohio more convincingly. Got some work to do.

Josh, you make a good point that one game shouldn't define a coach. But, as you said, Ryan Day has six losses that matter: three at the championship level, and three at the rivalry level. Both are arguably more impactful to both the program and the fanbase than any other regular season game normally would be. So yes, he might be a really damn good coach, but if his ceiling is being unable to win the games that DO matter more than anything else, then how good of a coach is he, really? In the context of sports as a whole, it's not the easy matchups that matter. It's the hardest, toughest, weirdest moments that really test your mental toughness, as you mentioned. As a Michigan fan, I personally don't think OSU fans calling for Ryan Day's head is an overreaction, but I also think it's invalid in some ways. Michigan has the deepest, toughest team in college football this year. Period. Ohio couldn't handle us even at our best because, as you said, they're player-reliant rather than player-led.

Looks like Butch Jones Jr (Ryan Day) will be needing a new job.... He has ONE job at Ohio St - go undefeated (which requires you beat Michigan) He's singularly failing in his duties.

JOSH WAS WRONG AGAIN WHAT AH SURPRISE 😂😂😂😂 GOBLUE!!

Funny you mention the military. I use that analogy all the time when talking about what it takes to build a championship team in any type of team atmosphere. I am a former US Marine and one thing I ALWAYS look for and I have been looking at Michigan in this light is a team that fights for each other. That is created by a smart coach who understands that and instills that into his coaching staff and players. You saw what The interim coach said after each of his 3 wins… “thats for you coach Harbaugh, we love you”. When people genuinely love each other and fight for each other you win at whatever it is you are trying to accomplish. Did you see where Harbaugh went Sunday? Thats right here was at the hospital with his injured player and his family. These players would fight and die for each other. They will be national champs!!!

A kid I went to high school with carried Michigan to there 2021 victory

Josh, you’ve been talking all season about that “eruption” Saturday. If it happens this weekend, OSU COULD find themselves with a shot making the playoffs. DOUBTFUL, but possible.

Glad i faded the public and the Michigan was at home which made bet feel more confident

16:17 You mention Saban as a Grand slam hire with an established championship pedigree, but you forget that OSU made the more/most recent Grand slam hire in Urban Meyer. They have reason to think they can somehow catch lightning in a bottle again, but they should beware that hires like Jimbo haven't worked out.

No. This game is called THE GAME for a reason. It does depend on THIS game.

He’s right about “it’s a team “ a former Detroit Tiger pitcher said the reason they lost the 2012 WS is because they didn’t have a team leader! Can you believe that?! Miggy was the man but also Verlander. Damn

Can you post the video of Day attempting to pump up his players before the game?

Josh's word is, "Organization." Michigan's word is "The Team." Besides the skill and the plans and the plays and the coaching, Michigan has just plain out-cultured OSU for three straight years now.

Hey Mike Vrabel!?! How you doin’ down there? Long time. It’s Brutus. Just thought I’d give ya a call….

Notice how the other teams average scores went up after the scouting story broke??

“This little mini run”

Harbaugh is still, 5-3 against Ohio state in 9 years. It is like last year when Georgia won back to back national championships and Alabama didn’t go to playoffs. People said sabans rain was over and he is done competing for national titles. Ohio is to talented for this not to turn around.

OSU "can" dump a 10-1 coach and hire a new one, and what if the new one is 8-3 for 3 years?

CONGRATS Matt

Typical Ryan Day, terrible in big games

I enjoyed your commentary.

I did experience it. You are right.

Michigan lost to OSU what felt like 20 years in a row... OSU fans have no idea what pain feels like.

Ive been calling out special teams too. Turnovers and special teams.

When you have a great idea what plays the opposing team are going to run, you’re going to win games…

Grew up maize and blue lived in B'ham when Auburn was good. The Game > Iron Bowl

Most wins all time. Most Big Ten championships. More straight up wins against Ohio. Michigan is God.

Most buckeye fans that want to move on are all in on Urban.

"Too miserable to spend his money anyway" like Ryan day doesn't go home to a $5k+ mortgage payment for a 1.8 million dollar mansion. (In Columbus OH... not a place like Austin TX) Will he enjoy his money after losing? Maybe not. Will he still spend it and benefit from a crazy nice standard of living? Hell yes!

Urban was a grand slam hire. Dabo would be a grand slam hire too.

I would call Mike Vrabel

That was some weird stuff with Crying Ryan doing the Whistle Dance. Sorry you came up from the south Josh and witnessed such a goofy event. Please don't think it is normal to this region, at least not in Michigan anyway.

Day bouncing around the middle of OSU’s team thinking he’s hyping them up pregame is the epitome of OSU

Ruin Day needs to go! Honda McCrud is the worst starting junior QB since Bellasorry....maybe even worse.

I still get the feeling that we still haven’t seen Michigan’s full playbook. They seem to be going game by game and unleashing more and more and doing just what is necessary to win the game. Would love to see more QB play, more plays with the RB bouncing to the exterior, more RPO, more TE play. Still feels a bit conservative with all these back to back interior runs that just gives you 2-5 yards, maybe each down.
