Michigan Comes Undone After an Upset by Ohio State

Welcome back to Remember When, where we delve into some interesting moments in Ohio State sports history.

Previously, we looked back on the time that Ohio State apologized to Michigan for any damage caused to the Michigan band, but the tables have turned. A year later, the rivalry resulted in another apology after Michigan reacted poorly to Ohio State's upset in 1955.

To set the stage for this powder keg of a game, the No. 6-ranked Wolverines entered the matchup in Ann Arbor with a trip to the Rose Bowl on the line. The Buckeyes led by head coach Woody Hayes and future Heisman winner Howard “Hopalong” Cassady laid a beatdown on Michigan, 17-0.
