Defeat is a tough pill to swallow. It is even tougher when it comes to a heated rival, but that's what happened for the Buckeyes on Saturday.
To make matters worse for the scarlet and gray, Michigan's players planted a maize and blue flag on the Block O at midfield of Ohio Stadium following their 45-23 victory over Ohio State, marking the Wolverines' second consecutive win over the Buckeyes.
Ohio State has not defeated Michigan since Nov. 30, 2019 – a game the Buckeyes won 56-27 in Ann Arbor – which means it has been 1,092 days since the team beat their most-hated rival.
