This rivalry has always been different. It's almost not a sporting event. It's something different. I lived in Cincinnati for 9 years and Ohio State Football is a religion to their fans. In those 9 years, Michigan won the game once.
This game was so terribly good. Michigan was nearly a 3 TD underdog and had nothing but pride to play for. OSU is #2 in the country with an invite to the Big Ten Championship game on the line with a trip to the playoffs. OSU's offense was full of 5 stars and Michigan had 3 stars and walk-ons playing on offense.
