Back to the Ohio State Buckeyes Newsfeed

The Situational:

One hundred years ago this weekend, Ohio State took down Fielding Yost and the Michigan Wolverines for the first time.

When the 1919 season kicked off, the Buckeyes had been conference champions twice in their history - but they still had never beaten the guys from Ann Arbor.

Chic Harley (the photoshopped ghost looming over the fireworks from the 2019 Michigan State game in the photo above) had led the program to undefeated seasons in 1916 and 1917. The Wolverines weren't on the schedule either time, which, lucky them.

Harley missed the 1918 game serving the country in the first World War, and Michigan won their meeting in Columbus in his absence.
