10 Players to Watch in Ohio State-Michigan Showdown

This year’s edition of the Ohio State-Michigan rivalry has what feels like an unprecedented number of playmakers on both sides of the ball (wearing both uniforms for a change).

Ohio State comes in at #2 in the nation, while Michigan is ranked #3 and is a 6.5 point underdog as of Wednesday.

Michigan will more than likely be without starting quarterback Wilton Speight, who led the Wolverines with 2,156 passing yards, throwing 15 touchdowns and four interceptions.

In his absence, Michigan is expected to turn to John O’Korn, but luckily for the Wolverines, they have several offensive playmakers, who will still be a handful for the Buckeyes to try to contain.

Buckeyes fans have become familiar with some of the playmakers on this 2016 squad, who have broken out at various points of the season, and given the team a new identity compared to their star-studded roster from one year ago.

The Buckeyes still have star quarterback J.T. Barrett, but most of the other leaders on the team did not play huge roles in 2015.

Without further ado, let’s take a look at the top ten playmakers on both sides of the field in Saturday’s epic showdown.
