In Conversation: Doug Lesmerises on The Game: 'I don't know how Michigan is going to score'

On Land-Grant Holy Land In Conversation, we talk to people in and around Ohio State athletics, and the sporting world at large, to bring you a different insight and perspective to the teams, athletes, and university that you love. On the show today, Matt Tamanini is in conversation with one of the best covering Ohio State football, Doug Lesmerises. The pair discusses the injury situation with Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate and the secrecy surrounding it. They also get into the recently competent-looking Ohio State running game, Michigan’s ground-focused attack with Bryce Underwood and Andrew Marsh livening things up in the passing game, and the possibility of Chip Kelly finding his way back onto Ohio State’s staff for the playoff run. They wrap up with Doug talking about just how special and unique this Ohio State defense is and how, despite the fact that they have not been challenged in over a month, it is difficult to imagine the Wolverines doing enough to outscore Ohio State’s offense, given the challenge they will have in the Silver Bullets.
