Big moments in Ohio State football history: Nov. 23, 1968

Ohio State and Michigan have played each other on the football field 116 times. That’s a lot of games and a lot of opportunities for “big moments.” The series started out pretty rocky for the Bucks, as they lost that initial contest in 1897, 34-0, and didn’t win until the 16th meeting in 1919. Before that game, the Wolverines had won 13 with two games ending in ties.

The biggest OSU margin of victory among the 51 wins occurred in 1935 in Ann Arbor, when the Bucks won 38-0. Sweet. But it was so far back that even I don’t remember the game.
