Criticize the offense, fine, but Michigan's D the real culprit vs. OSU

Note: This is a column from MLive's Aaron McMann.

There has been plenty of finger pointing from Michigan fans over the last 36 hours.

Some want to blame Jim Harbaugh and his conservative play calling for Michigan's 62-39 loss to Ohio State. Others place blame on Harbaugh and the coaching staff for a perceived lack of preparation.

Really, the blame belongs squarely on this defense. Whether that falls on defensive coordinator Don Brown and an inability to adjust on the fly this time or the players for properly executing the game plan is unclear.
