Talking about the Michigan vs. Ohio State matchups in recent history are irrelevant.
What’s relevant is the 2021 version of the Michigan Wolverines — a team that beat Ohio State 42-27 to advance to the Big Ten Championship game against Iowa.
Ohio State wasn’t the first game Michigan had where adversity hit. They won a close game against Rutgers, beat Wisconsin on the road, beat Nebraska in overtime, won a nail-biter in Happy Valley against Penn State. And yes, suffered a gut-wrenching 37-33 defeat at Spartan Stadium against Michigan State.
