With Jim Harbaugh nowhere in sight and a scandal hanging over their heads, J.J. McCarthy and No. 3 Michigan defeated No. 2 Ohio State and ran the school’s win streak against the Buckeyes to three games with a 30-24 victory on Saturday in maybe the most consequential game in the history of the storied rivalry.
Even when the game was over, it still wasn’t quite over for some on the field.
Following the game, Michigan defensive coordinator Jesse Minter was seen waving goodbye to Ohio State players and coaches as they walked sadly off the field and into the tunnel.
Michigan fans poured over the brick walls of The Big House and onto the field and the Wolverines were off to their third straight Big Ten title game. In a season of high expectations that now has a championship-or-bust feel, Michigan is a victory away from a third consecutive College Football Playoff appearance.
Ohio State now has to wait and pray to see where their fate takes them after this loss.
For coach Ryan Day and the Buckeyes, it’s another year of lamenting a loss in the most important game on the schedule as he drops to 1-3 against the Wolverines. Before he took over from Urban Meyer, Ohio State had won seven straight meetings and 14 of 15.
