This will be a 5 setter. Michigan has a shot.

Since JFO became head coach at OSU these teams have played 5 times (including a Spring 2022 scrimmage); the Buckeyes have only dropped one set to Michigan over that stretch and that one went to extra points. For the most part, this is essentially the same group of players squaring off again and this Buckeye lineup has absolutely owned the Wolverines. The biggest difference for Michigan in 2022 in the insertion of senior setter Maddie Dowd into the lineup as the backrow setter in a 5-2 with Scottee Johnson setting in the front. Dowd has an instinctual connection with Junior MB Jess Robinson (she was her setter in club) that opened up Robinson's offesnsive game in the non-con and led her to the leading hitting percentage in the NCAA. But a curious thing happened last weekend. Sophomore MB Jacque Boney, Michigan's best blocker, found her groove and recorded 23K at a .528 clip and suddenly Michigan had a multi-dimesional, dynamic offense. All of that of course is predicated on solid passing, and Michigan will need Murray and Mruzik to hold up in the backcourt. This will be an uphill battle for Blue. After Saturday's performance I fully expect Emily Londot to hit .600 with 1-2 errors and zero SE's. OSU should be primed to avenge that Nebraska loss. Michigan will counter with a Wednesday night Maize Out at Crisler, offering free pizza to entice the students and hopefully a packed house. Michigan has been playing well and I'm hoping they can hang around and compete in this one. Go Blue! Thanks for the insight. That makes this match even more exciting. I can't wait. |

The scheduler graduated from the University of Michigan. If that's the case every Michigan match would be on the road... that university doesn't give a crap about its volleyball program! Yeah, there's a rumor that football comes first. |

Will be at the Pav tonight but I will be recording this match and very interested in watching it. Could Michigan be a factor this season?

This is when Ohio State’s tough schedule starts to pay dividends. tOSU in a sweep.

This is when Ohio State’s tough schedule starts to pay dividends. tOSU in a sweep. It's an important match for both teams. JFO needs this to validate that non-con gauntlet and to confirm her 5 loss team as a legitimate Top 10 contender. Michigan needs to establish credibility. I'll be honestly happy if we don't get swept. |

Idk why everyone is so quick to go with Michigan here... Ohio St is so good defensively minus the blocking. The way they played Nebraska was pretty cool to see, so scrappy. I would be surprised if Michigan won although I won't rule them out. Ohio St has too many good hitters compared to the few Michigan have. OSU also has the better setter and bro. I'm saying OSU in 4.
