Michigan needs The Game more than Ohio State, and we already know the Wolverines are better than managing it. Shouldn't this be a red flag?

Michigan has been on the periphery of CFP talk all year. That would change with a win at Maryland and another upset of Ohio State.

Before the game against Michigan in 2024, the Buckeyes were a 21-point favorite before losing to the unranked Wolverines 13-10. Despite the loss, Ohio State received a No. 8 seed in the first 12-team College Football Playoff and went on to win the national championship.

The No. 2 Michigan Hockey team will look to utilize a strong special teams advantage to hold off the unranked Ohio State Buckeyes in Ann Arbor this weekend:

Ohio State did what it was supposed to do in a 91-58 win against Western Michigan. Here are five takeaways from the game.

Senior forward Josh Eernisse gave Michigan (12-3, 5-2 Big Ten) a two-goal cushion with 2:02 remaining, deflecting a Tyler Duke shot in front. Eernisse had one goal last season and already has seven this year. Hughes picked up an assist for his third point of the game.
