BONUS - Ross Fulton Analysis: Ohio State Defense vs. Michigan Offense Nov 27, 2025

Show notes

Matt Patricia's Ohio State defense is rewriting the school's record books this season. No one has scored more than 16 points against the Buckeyes in the first 11 games of the regular season, and the defense is a darling of most advanced analytical systems, holding opponents far below their averages on the ground and through the air.
But does Patricia now have more tricks left in his toolbox with archrival Michigan on deck? And how does the Wolverines' offense, with standouts like Bryce Underwood, Jordan Marshall, and Andrew Marsh match up with what the Buckeyes will be trying to do with stars like Kayden McDonald, Arvell Reese, and Caleb Downs?
In this episode of Ross Fulton Analysis, Ross breaks down some of Michigan's key concepts on the ground and through the air, and how Patricia and the Buckeyes may try to defend them.
