The Game: M 42 - "The" Ohio State 27 - Not Anymore. Post Game Thread.

Ha, true. If the Lions even win ONE playoff game. That’s how bad it’s been since 1958. 🤣

But whatever. M did it! Finally!
I haven’t even cared to look at next week’s tiebreakers in the B10 West and who M could play…

I seriously thought I would never see us beat osu again. And for all the nation saying Harbaugh , I('m so happy for him) - cant win big games is squashed. And beating that ass hole Rayn Day, plus Sparty meltdown. Who has it better than us?

Amazing game. Such a great thing after so many years. Watching Haskins and the o-line run it down their throat in the second half was like a balm to the soul. Cade played well outside trying to force the interception. Hutchinson was a beast and they got just enough pressure on Stroud so he couldn’t get comfortable. Great defensive game plan, just what was needed. They got yards, but couldn’t cash in when it counted. It’s Great…. To Be…..A Michigan Wolverine!

I thought the same thing Wingsfan. I’ve never been this happy to be so wrong before. Harbaugh delivered big time.

Here's the tunnel going in at halftime, complete with gestures and profanity. Nothing like a full throated rivalry.

Who has it better than us?

If only for today, nobody.

Today's game was what a true rivalry game should look like. Just when we thought M might take control of the game, back comes OSU completing circus catches, and they are right back on the doorstep. It was back and forth, ebbs and flows, everything that signifies a true rivalry. It hasn't been a true rivalry for a long time, but today, younger folks got to see what us old farts saw year after year in the 70's and 80's.

I've had to readjust my thinking. Usually, I'm sitting around wondering where M will go bowling, if they are even freaking eligible. Today, they're headed for Indy, and with a win there, I don't see how they are kept out of the playoffs. I never would have thought it at the beginning of the season. I saw a 6-6 record, but with a maximum effort, I thought 8-4 was possible. Silly me.

MVP of the game is the O-Line and Haskins. OSU had no answer. That group has been the MVP all season long. I'd say a 180 degree turnaround from last year.

Absolutely, the Oline was amazing today. The run blocking was just tremendous and for the most part they kept Cade clean.

For those that watched the game in the 1st half, they never stopped Haskins on a short yardage play. Right then I knew if they could keep the game close they would impose their will on them. Haskins was getting 2-3 yards when OSU knew to a man he was getting the ball - and 6-7 when they weren't entirely sure.

Gattis played a fiddle today. Perfect combination of letting the running game eat along with timely play action that would gash them if they over-committed.

Congrats, Liney

Thank you, and today two great teams and two great programs met on the gridiron, and they put on a show that people will be talking about for a long time. Michigan's season, in my mind, is validated today as a great season, because at the end, they beat a great team.

I don't think M can claim that they are the better team, but I think their resolve to win was a bit stronger than OSU's. There was a lot of great talent out there today on both sides. Lots of future NFL stars.

Lol, that is a gladiators arena for a reason.
1 way onto the field, 1 way off.
Nice to see UM held up it's end of the bargain today.

I don't remember any sacks, and I don't think there were any TFL's. Cade made one big mistake, but other than that his play was excellent. Even JJ's snaps were well executed.

[WingsFan]

Liney has always taken the high road, and believe me I know lol Beating osu , well we didn't think it would go down, especially after last week. But it's hard to bring your A game two weeks.

O-line ate today. Such a beautiful thing to see in the "passing age".
