Last weekend I traveled up to Ann Arbor to watch the Ohio State football team line up against Michigan for their 106th meeting. A lot had been written about how little of note there was about this game. Ohio State had already clinched the Big Ten championship and a date for the Rose Bowl, and Michigan, stumbling through another season, was playing just to become bowl eligible. But regardless, every game against the UofM is a big one.
The weather was chilly. The crowd was large (110,900+). And the Wolverines were awful. Within the first four minutes they fumbled in their endzone and gave the Bucks a quick and easy 7-0 lead. A little later they missed a routine field goal. Their defense kept the Buckeyes from going on a scoring frenzy, but the UofM offense continued to meltdown. They finished with 4 interceptions (and nearly a fifth) in addition to the opening fumble.
The final score was 21-10. It was great to see the Bucks notch their historic sixth straight win against Michigan in person.
