Jim Harbaugh finally gets over hump as Michigan topples Ohio State in testy thriller

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — After nearly two decades of almost complete domination, heartbreak and humiliation, the University of Michigan finally found a way to beat its archrival Ohio State, bullying the Buckeyes to the tune of 42-27 at a snowy, delirious Michigan Stadium.

The win sends the Wolverines (11-1) to the Big Ten championship game in Indianapolis for the first time ever and keeps the school’s bid for a first-ever College Football Playoff berth alive. It was also coach Jim Harbaugh’s first victory over Ohio State since returning to his alma mater in 2015.
