After a fast start to the season, both Ohio State and Michigan have offenses that are struggling. Michigan could be starting backup quarterback John O’Korn with Wilton Speight battling an injury.

The Wolverines have relied on their defense throughout the season and are likely to be tested Saturday against a Buckeyes offense that has the potential to be explosive despite its recent struggles.

Heavy looks for a low scoring matchup. We like Ohio State to get a close victory but like Michigan against the spread.
