ESPN's Kirk Herbstreit: Recruiting separates Michigan, Ohio State
Kirk Herbstreit, ESPN’s GameDay and college football analyst, believes the recruiting gap between Michigan and Ohio State has been a key ingredient why the Wolverines have lost eight straight to Ohio State and can’t move into that level of national playoff contenders.
The recruiting game was a major story line after the Wolverines’ 56-27 loss to Ohio State last November. Ohio State has dominated the rivalry for the better part of two decades, and coach Jim Harbaugh is 0-5 against his rival.
