The Ohio State game is why Jim Harbuagh snatched Don Brown from Boston College. He seemed like a great hire at the time and an ever better one now, but it’s impossible to make a true evaluation until his defense goes up against an OSU offense. Ohio State is Michigan football’s one true rival and coaches on both sides are judged swiftly and harshly for their showings in The Game (ask John Cooper), so Brown has that to worry about.
Jim Harbaugh’s first game against OSU was a disaster on every level; the 29 point margin of defeat didn’t convey how viciously the Buckeyes beat Michigan football down.
