Ohio State's remaining regular-season schedule, minus Michigan, will allow the Buckeyes to rest up. Could that strength of schedule create rust?
It's a rivalry Michigan has certainly found itself on the better end of. The Wolverines are 74-38-5 all-time in the series and have won the last three matchups. They also won a national title a couple years ago, which is always worth holding over the head of your rival.
No. 25 Michigan defeated Michigan State 31-20 on Saturday at Spartan Stadium for its fourth straight win in the rivalry. The game featured several hallmarks of a rivalry matchup: 18 combined penalties for 166 yards, a controversial call, memorable touchdown celebrations and some costly mistakes.
The book 'Buckeye Brotherhood' shows the lengths Ohio State football coach Ryan Day went to in order to help OSU rebound after its loss to Michigan.
Ohio State football has found early success this season, but officiating hasn't always been on the Buckeyes' side.
