Was Ohio State’s second-half offense against Texas really too conservative — or did the Buckeyes simply stop getting the breaks they had earlier and fail to execute when opportunities were there?

And for Michigan, how much of the Oklahoma game came down to the Sooners simply being better… and how much was Michigan beating itself?

In Episode 2 of Hate Week 365, Tim and Jeremy dig into both games and get past the box score.

We break down:

• Why Ohio State’s offense looked so different in the second half against Texas

• Conservative play calling vs missed throws, dropped passes, missed blocks and execution

• What Ohio State did well despite the offensive criticism

• The biggest concerns that still need to be fixed

• Michigan’s costly penalties and negative plays against Oklahoma

• The offensive drives Michigan killed with its own mistakes

• Defensive penalties and mistakes that helped Oklahoma extend drives

• Bryce Underwood’s performance and development

• What Michigan’s offense needs to clean up immediately

• What we want to see from both teams in their next games

• Which problems are legitimate concerns and which ones may be getting overblown

The next opponents may not provide the same challenge, so this week is less about the final score and more about how Ohio State and Michigan actually play.

Do the Buckeyes open the offense back up?
Can Michigan stop sabotaging its own drives?
And which team has more to fix moving forward?
