Ohio State fans are once again claiming that Michigan has lost too much to be competitive in 2024, but we've heard that claim before.
The narrative surrounding the Michigan football program heading into 2024 is that the Wolverines have lost too much to repeat the success from 2023. If it sounds like you've heard that narrative before, it's because you have. Need proof? Take a listen to what Ohio State fans were saying about the Michigan Wolverines following that 2021 beatdown of the Buckeyes in Ann Arbor."When Aidan Hutchinson leaves, Michigan has nobody." the fan said.
"Literally everyone who was of any value to Michigan this year was like a sixth-year senior. Josh Ross, David Ojabo, Aidan Hutchinson, Daxton Hill...that's his name, right? The safety? Yea, Daxton Hill. He might be in his seventh year for all we know.""everyone who was of any value to Michigan was a sixth-year senior"
. Josh Ross was a graduate student who was in his fifth season, but Aidan Hutchinson was just a senior in his fourth season. Both David Ojabo and Daxton Hill were juniors. Hassan Haskins, who absolutely pummeled the Buckeye defense with 169 yards and 5 touchdowns on 28 carries, was a senior in his fourth year. Michigan's starting quarterback that year, Cade McNamara, was a junior.
We've heard this excuse from Ohio State fans frequently over the last three years, but the reality is that "age" has had nothing to do with the Buckeye's lack of success against the Wolverines. Instead, it's primarily been Michigan's physical and mental toughness that has determined the outcome in the rivalry since 2021. On paper, Ohio State has routinely had the more talented roster. On the field, Michigan has routinely bullied Ohio State.
Heading into 2024, Buckeye fans are once again reverting to the same old talking points that failed them miserably two years ago. Ahead of the 2022 season, theythat the 2022 matchup in Columbus would represent a "day of reckoning" for the Wolverines.
