Ohio State football will hope to do the same to the Wolverines on November 30. The Buckeyes’ football team has lost three straight to Michigan, which has caused great unrest and frustration within the fanbase. Ohio State looks far superior to their rials this season, so things should likely be different in 2024. It’s a championship mentality out there after all.
For now, Ohio State gets to celebrate both winning another Big Ten title and beating Michigan. If you ask any Buckeye fan, that’s as good a reason as any.
