Columbus, OH -- In a stunning turn of events, Michigan upset No. 2 Ohio State 13-10 on Saturday, taking its fourth straight in one of the sport's great rivalries. That would probably end the Buckeyes' Big Ten title hopes as well. Here's how it unfolded.
Unranked Michigan went into Columbus and managed to pull off the gigantic upset against heavily favored Ohio State Buckeyes. The game itself was tight, with two costly interceptions thrown by Ohio State quarterback Will Howard.
A Conservative Approach
Throughout the course of the game, Ohio State's play calling was quite conservative. This conservative approach allowed Michigan to hang in there and pull off the victory.
Missed Opportunities
Ohio State's mishaps did not stop there. The Buckeyes missed two kickable field goals, dropped a bunch of passes, and showed a timid approach. All of these blunders cost them the game and gave Michigan the chances they needed to win.
Post-Game Altercation
Immediately after the game, in a matter of seconds, emotions ran high as there was a huge fight on the field. Michigan players attempted to plant their flag at midfield-the Ohio State players fought and resisted with fisticuffs as the altercation grew into an ugly situation that involved the police-who at one point pepper-sprayed some combatants.
Ohio State head coach Ryan Day expressed frustration but pride in his team while showing embarrassment about the loss and the post-game brawl.
Looking Ahead
This loss can be a huge blow in Ohio State's season. Moving forward, the team needed to re-group and have refocused. On the side of the Wolverines was to celebrate their fourth win straight out against their rivals, something that has not happened since 1988-91.
