{Regarded|Noted|Referred to} simply in Columbus, Ann Arbor, and every place in-between as "The Game", Ohio State and The state of michigan meet in the regular season finale for both teams again. And, as is usually the circumstance, the stakes {are incredibly} high.

The Buckeyes can {declare|state|assert} no worse  scr888 than the usual talk about|than the usual show|when compared to a talk about|when compared to a show|compared to a talk about|compared to a show} of the Big {12|twelve|15} crown, and will be assured {of the|of any|of your} spot in one of the big BCS game with a win. The Wolverines, who were considered to have been reduced to a pure spoiler role, have risen back up {in to the|in the} conference race. The level of the Wolverines season {must be|should be} when Chad Henne threw a touchdown {give|spread} the last play of the game against Penn State to knock them from the ranks of the undefeated a month ago.

If that {move|go|go away} falls incomplete, Michigan comes to 3-4 and this weeks game, though still their biggest of the year, would be more about pride for the Wolverines than aspirations.

{They will|That they} not only need to emerge victorious on {Sunday|Weekend|Sat}, but would {likewise require|in addition need} inside of state rival Michigan State to pull an improbable {annoyed|disappointed|cantankerous} versus Penn State {afterwards|down the road|down the line} in the afternoon to snare a share of conference honors.

Both squads enter this game participating in {their finest|their utmost} football of the season, Ohio State's {criminal offense|crime|wrongdoing} has {set up|placed|organized} 40 {factors|details|items} in the past four games, after quarterback Troy Smith struggled early on directing the offense, only to look {practically} {perfect|faultless|exquisite} after his grip on the starting job was slipping away. Due to this, everyone around him has gotten better.

The state of michigan on the other {hands|palm|side}, has moved the ball better behind sophomore signal-caller Henne, and this maligned defense is even {preventing|halting|blocking} the opposition with {frequency|reliability|steadiness}. Wins over Iowa, Northwestern and Indiana are nice (only the IU {earn|succeed|get} wasn't competitive), but {keep in mind|bear in mind}, Ohio State DESTROYED those three squads by a combined score of 120-23.
