Not much is expected to go Michigan's way when it squares off with Ohio State on Saturday.
One matchup that the Wolverines stand a chance of winning, though, is between senior wide receiver Jeremy Gallon and junior cornerback Bradley Roby.
Gallon has been a bright spot throughout an underwhelming season for the Maize and Blue. In fact, he is just 66 yards away from moving into second all time in the Michigan record books for receiving yards in a single campaign.
The 5'8", 187-pounder has racked up 1,109 yards and eight touchdowns on 71 receptions through 11 games. With another 222 yards in the Wolverines' final two contests, he would surpass Braylon Edwards' single-season receiving record.
Consistency has not been a problem for Gallon either. He has caught at least one pass in 37 straight games.
Given Roby's struggles against No. 1 wide receivers this year, there is no reason to believe that streak will come to an end this weekend.
Wisconsin's Jared Abbrederis torched Roby to the tune of 207 yards and a touchdown on 10 catches. Less than a month later, Penn State's Allen Robinson had a monster night against the vaunted cornerback. Robinson finished with 12 receptions, 173 yards and one touchdown.
However, these outings have not significantly impacted Roby's draft stock. While it has fallen since the beginning of the year, his athleticism and size will still make him a hot commodity once the NFL draft rolls around.
NFL Media analyst Bucky Brooks still sees plenty of potential in Roby.
Roby is unquestionably one of the most explosive athletes in college football. He has reportedly clocked times in the 4.3-seconds range in the 40-yard dash, while also exhibiting exceptional change-of-direction quickness and burst on the perimeter. Roby's movement skills, turns and transitions are near the top of the athletic spectrum, which makes him a very desirable prospect for defensive coordinators looking for a No. 1 corner. Additionally, Roby shows outstanding leaping ability contesting receivers on 50/50 balls down the field.
Expect plenty of physicality from Roby as well. Press coverage and jams are specialties for him, though his style often turns into a high-risk, high-reward strategy.
This will not be anything out of the ordinary for Gallon. He is used to being bumped at the line of scrimmage and is not going to be flustered in a physical battle.
The biggest thing to watch in this matchup will be Gallon's double-moves, which he uses to compensate for his lack of size. He is a sound wideout when it comes to the technical side of things, which will present a much different challenge for Roby.
Since the Wolverines have been held to less than 200 total yards in three of their last four games, a huge afternoon for Gallon is unlikely. Most of this can be attributed to Michigan's problems along the offensive line. After being sacked 20 times in the past four weeks, redshirt junior quarterback Devin Gardner is rattled and is struggling, to say the least.
Does this mean Roby will shut down Gallon? Not necessarily. If the Michigan offensive line cannot find a way to slow down Adolphus Washington, Noah Spence and Joey Bosa, this matchup will be irrelevant.
Either way, Gallon versus Roby is going to be entertaining to watch even if The Game winds up being lopsided.
