At 13:10, you see that the OSU receiver had fumbled the ball and it was recovered by Woodson. Should never have come down to the last play, but glad to see Marcus Ray get the interception.

Hope all is well with you. Enjoyed watching you play, especially in the '96 UCLA game. Best wishes.

This game laid the foundation for the great 1997 team, especially on defense. To shut out the Suckeyes in the second half in Columbus was amazing. Who knew after this game what laid ahead for the 1997 squad?

[@MrDuneedon]

Not a terrible job by the 2022 Michigan squad holding OSU to 3 second half points in Columbus, either. ;-)

@cjm5272 I love it when jackasses who can't spell try to rewrite history. In this game, Michigan had 299 yards of total offense and OSU had 304. A difference of 5 whole yards. That means you outplayed us all game? Your offense didn't do anything in the second half. And you really had only 2 decent drives in the first. We had 3 sacks, OSU had none. And let's not talk about luck. You had a coach who loved to play ineligible players and he was lucky to get away with it for as long as he did.

[@kevinclarke7283]

Brian Griese beat OSU three times. That was a LONG time ago

[@MrDuneedon]

Well...JJ McCarthy is 2-0 so far.

@@MrDuneedon Hopefully will be 3-0 after next season!!

@@kevinclarke7283 It might not have to wait until next season, depending on how things go. 😉

@@MrDuneedon Pffffffffft. OSU has no chance whatsoever vs UGA. This is a warm-up game for the Dawgs. They will devour the Bucks like a dog biscuit

[@MrDuneedon]

@@kevinclarke7283 I’m only saying it’s a possibility. I think Georgia wins. If Ohio State could not handle Michigan, I can’t really see them handling Georgia very well either. Anyway. Let’s just beat TCU. Cheers.

I recall that the field was very wet in places, even when it shouldn't have been. As if it was done intentionally to slow down the faster(?) Michigan team. If so, it backfired on OSU. I remember that play, coming right at us (in the Michigan section at the bleachers). Perhaps the best memory was after the game. No bad fans or cat calls. Walking out of the stadium, you'd think the Streets were full of people returning from a funeral. Or worse, like the walking dead under a gray sky. Go Blue!

Leeron Kopelman - these days I don't think some of this generation of fans would be so quiet , and I am sure their would be fights . This years game November 26 20016 will have lots animosity on the field and with fans . Some people take these games too far

[@mariomessina6389]

Leeron Kopelman Go Blue !

[@stephenroberts8966]

I miss Keith Jackson do the play by play. I also miss hearing the bands playing in the background during the game. The more recent broadcasts like on FoxNews, I hardly ever hear the bands; they must be far away.

[@abercrom21guy]

I was there. Go Blue 😂

[@Qaranwadani1993]

that was ancients ago

[@uofm1334]

I was number 34

[@kobraf150]

I remember you had a touchdown against Indiana when I was there that year. I hope all is well.

[@StFidjnr]

@ChazzyJoe the buckeyes national title dreams are spoiled so what did OSU did the next game?

[@ftbobs]

On top of that it's ignorant. Guys slip all the time and the plays do not go as touchdowns. The reason is, defenses have safeties back to prevent such things. The reason the safeties didn't help in this case is because they were pulled up for run support, similar to how Michigan ran it. When that happens, your defense looks awful good, until a guy slips or gets beat. It's a high risk defense. You can't take the benefits of this sort of defense and then complain when you're burned by it.

[@rjkelly34]

we played m/m across the board on that play. no safety help at all.

thank you so much for sharing this with us. Can I get an "O-H-"

N-O!
