It doesn’t get any bigger than Michigan football and Ohio State. For both teams, it’s not just a game or a rivalry — it’s everything.
And for the Wolverines, this game has been a year in the making. Their season hasn’t gone as planned but they can make up for 62-39. In fact, it’s really the only thing they have left.
If Michigan football loses this game, it will go to the Outback Bowl or the Gator or the Holiday. It could still beat a solid team and win a 10th game for the fourth time in five years, but it would still feel empty and it would be hard to call that a success.
