I’ll admit; heading into last year’s Michigan game, I was skeptical that Ohio State would win. In fact, I picked them to lose outright. The after effects from the Purdue loss, plus whatever the Maryland game was left me in with a strong sense that 2018 was unfortunately the end of the Buckeyes’ dominance in The Game. I’ve never been more happy to be wrong.
Not only did Ohio State win, but they put a historic beatdown on the Wolverines, and clinched the Buckeyes’ second straight Big Ten East title. Little did we know it would also be Urban Meyer’s final game at Ohio Stadium, and a fitting way to cap his dominance over the Team Up North since coming to Columbus.
