Ohio State — [Marich] Michigan HC Kyle Whittingham on his comments about not hating Ohio State from Big Ten media days: “Do we have a better chance of winning if I hated them? I don’t understand. Whatever gives us the best chance to win, I’m all for it. I want to beat them worse than anybody.”MOVES BIG TEN
Whittingham's press-conference diplomacy is noise — what matters is Michigan's head coach just publicly circled Ohio State as the measuring stick, which is exactly the kind of motivational fuel a program replacing 11 drafted starters would rather not hand out for free.
Targeting's hair-trigger ejection rule just got a patch — offenses finally get a flag for those pick-route bundles that've been running unchecked all decade, and DBs can breathe knowing a bang-bang hit doesn't automatically end their afternoon.
