If you're like me, your confidence level can ebb and flow throughout the course of Hate Week as you ponder the various things that could well or go wrong ahead of Ohio State's date with Michigan this Saturday in the Big House.
The fact Ohio State's lost four-straight to the Wolverines looms large but man at some point, the tide has to turn, right? Especially with Ohio State riding a truly elite defense.
This year's version of The Game is adding some unwanted intrigue as we all wonder if Ryan Day will have his two superstar receivers available, and if so, just how healthy/effective they can be.
So, as we sit here on the Monday before The Game, what's your confidence level - on a scale of 1-100 - that Ohio State will leave Ann Arbor with a victory in hand. And why do feel the way you do?
For me, as I type this, I think I'm at about a 74% confidence level for the main reason I already mentioned. I think Ohio State's defense can hold Michigan to 17 points or less behind great players and a great game plan from Matt Patricia.
