Ohio State is Underdog, A Role It Has Thrived In, Against Michigan for First Time Since 2018

It's not often that Ohio State isn't favored to win a given football game that it plays. It's only happened 12 times across the last 12 seasons.

Since Urban Meyer took over the program prior to the 2012 season and handed the keys over to Ryan Day seven years later, the Buckeyes have an 8-3 overall record as underdogs and a 9-2 mark against the spread when forecasted to lose.

Ohio State currently stands as a 3.5-point underdog for Saturday's game at Michigan, the first time this season the Buckeyes have been projected to lose by oddsmakers.
