This classic article by Tom Orr from TheOzone shows that whoever runs the ball better in The Game wins - Run the Ball, Win The Game.  (I'm not sure there is an updated version of this article.)

Will this be true again in 2022? 

Can the script be flipped with Xichigan's run-first offense and our pass-first offense?

I feel like we need one of our RB's to rush for 120yds with a 5+ yd/carry avg. and we need their QB to attempt 30+ passes.

This would indicate that Ryan Day and our O-line has figured out running game woes, and that Jim Knowles and our D-line was up to the challenge of stopping their run game.

I know there are other match-ups worth considering (our WRs vs. their CBs), but I think this one is central to the game's outcome.
