To Jerame Tuman, the Michigan vs. Ohio State rivalry remains indescribable.
His history in “The Game” ended 25 years ago, beating Ohio State in three of his four meetings as a Wolverines tight end from 1995-98, each by eight points or less.
Even after a 10-year NFL career — nine with the Pittsburgh Steelers — Tuman still hasn’t played in a game that matched the intensity of that final regular-season game in November.
“I’ve been in two Super Bowls,” Tuman said. “The Super Bowl is obviously tremendous, tremendous, spectacular game. But that Michigan-Ohio State game, even though some years it wasn’t for a national championship, or maybe not even the Big Ten title for us, was just as important and meant just as much to us.
