A pass thrown by a Michigan opponent this year has resulted in a touchdown for Michigan more often than it has yielded a touchdown for the opponent. Read that again if you must. Michigan has three interception returns for touchdowns while allowing just two passing touchdowns.

Can't imagine many teams have been able to say this 6 games into a season.

It would be more impressive if we play one good team. Yes, it is a good and interesting stat, and the first string has been sitting the majority of the fourth quarter. We will get an understanding of how good the Michigan Wolverines as they play Penn State and ohio state. Win or lose Michigan is still my team.

I'm not saying Michigan is a juggernaut. I just thought the stat was wild. 6 games into the season, I don't care who you have played. To have more pick 6 touchdowns than td passes allowed is absurd.

More impressive. Yes. But 6 games in, even against cupcakes and 3 bad big ten teams, it’s an impressive stat. It’s hard to do that against bad teams.

I can't remember if it was Fields or Haskins but I know the one year Ohio State had a very weak beginning of schedule and up until Penn State he had more touchdowns than incompletions

That is a wild stat too. Only reason I posted the Pick 6 stat for UM is that a pick 6 is so random. You could be absolutely dominating defensively and have no pick 6's.

Can't have a Michigan/Ohio State fun stat contest without this nugget:

It has been 1,412 days since Ohio State beat Michigan on the football field and counting. :)

Little brother sure is making a show after running from The Game. I guess they just needed a break.
 
It's more impressive that Ohio State's last three games have been against three QBs ranked in the top 11 in the nation in TD passes yet we've only allowed one more passing TD than michigan.
