Each year, there’s only one date on the calendar that both Michigan and Ohio State fans, players and coaches have circled. This year, that date is Saturday, Nov. 29, when “The Game” will be renewed in Ann Arbor.
By this point, we’re all familiar with the recent history of the rivalry. The Buckeyes had dominated the first 20 years of the 21st century, but Michigan has regained control by winning the last four. The victory in Columbus in 2024 was particularly surprising, given Michigan needed the win to finish the regular season at 7-5, while Ohio State eventually won the National Championship.
