“Our goals every year are to beat our rivals, beat Michigan State and beat Ohio State, and we accomplished that,” quarterback Davis Warren said. “That’s really important to us. To come in here and get a win in this kind of environment, against a good football team, man, it’s a great feeling.”

Nobody thought it was possible, but it happened. Ohio State had the better team, had the home-field advantage and had all the momentum. But the Buckeyes also had all the pressure, were out-coached and simply outplayed for 60 minutes of football against an underwhelming Michigan team.
