The last team Michigan football beat Ohio State was in 2011. That was the season immediately following the Buckeyes losing head coach Jim Tressel, and they limped to a 6-7 record with interim coach Luke Fickell.
The last time the Wolverines beat a legitimate Ohio State team was in 2003. That Buckeyes team finished 11-2.
And then the last time Michigan beat the Buckeyes in Columbus was in 2000.
With each passing season, each one of those accomplishments moves farther back into the pages of history. Michigan has lost 12 of the last 13, culminating in last season’s absolutely torturous double-overtime loss to the Buckeyes.
