Ohio State Fan Reacts: Michigan Beats Buckeyes in Big House to Win Big-10 East | The Slumpbuster

Welcome in Slumpbusters! Michigan and Ohio State Football is one of the most historic rivalries in modern American sports. The Michigan Wolverines still hold a slight series advantage with a 59-51-6 record against the Buckeyes. However, recent history hasn't been so kind to the program in Ann Arbor or their head coach Jim Harbaugh. Harbaugh heading into Saturday had never beaten Ohio State in his six years since taking over as Wolverines head football coach. Michigan as a whole had lost their last eight games against Ohio State. Harbaugh has seen a lot of high pressure games in his coaching tenure but the yearly Ohio State matchup remained a Boogey Man for him. Following a year in which these two teams did not play, the 2021 game would be highly anticipated and highly impactful. Michigan entered the game as the number five team in the recent College Football Playoff poll with Ohio State ranked at two. Whoever won this game would all but certainly stamp their ticket to compete for a National Championship. Harbaugh's team got started early as Michigan marched down the field on a 10-play 75-yard drive that would result in a A.J. Henning rushing touchdown. Ohio State would answer with a field goal shortly thereafter to move the score to 7-3. After exchanging punts and turnovers the Buckeyes would be seize back the lead. C.J. Stroud was able to find Garrett Wilson on a 25-yard touchdown connection giving the Buckeyes a 10-7 advantage. The very next possession the Wolverines would answer. Hassan Haskins had himself an amazing day and it started with a one yard plunge at the goal line for Michigan to regain their lead 14-10. Ohio State would kick another Nah Ruggles field goal and enter the half down 14-13. From that point on the game would be all Michigan. The Buckeyes would come out of halftime and punt on their opening possession. Wasting no time, Michigan would score a touchdown on a three play drive. Haskins would once again find the end zone from 13 yards out. After another Ohio State punt, Haskins would score another one yard rushing touchdown pushing the lead to 28-13 Michigan. Ohio State would score a rushing touchdown of their own and nine plays later Michigan would answer with Haskins' fourth rushing touchdown. With time winding down Stroud was able to keep them in the game. Stroud did find TreVeyon Henderson on a fourth down scoring attempt to keep the game to one possession 35-27. However, Haskins was not done as he would ice the game with a historic fifth rushing score improving the Wolverine advantage to 42-27. This would be the final game score, giving Harbaugh his first win against the longtime rival Buckeyes. This win all but ensures Michigan should find itself in the College Football Playoffs but they do have to face a Wisconsin Badgers team much improved from the time they faced them earlier in the season. In order to recap this and more our resident Ohio State fan Andrew Hagenbaugh is here to give his instant reaction to the Wolverines winning the Big-10 East. #Michigan #OhioState #CollegeFootball Recorded: Saturday, November 27, 2021 Host: Andrew Hagenbaugh Ig: @andrewhagenbaugh | Twitter: @drewhagenbaugh Sponsors: CavemanCoffeeCo.Com | PROMO CODE : SLUMP Social Media: Ig: @slumpbusterpodcast | Twitter: @slumpbusterpod Website: https://www.theslumpbuster.com/
