The Buckeyes have played four iconic games against Michigan on Nov. 23. Today we put the spotlight on the 1935, 1968, 1974 and 2002 editions of The Game.
In 2002, Jim Tressel became the second Ohio State coach to win his first two games against Michigan. Who was the first? Hint: This coach started the Gold Pants tradition.Four of Ohio State’s most iconic wins against Michigan have taken place on this date.
In the third quarter, Klaban kicked his fourth field goal of the game. This time, he was good from 45 yards out and Ohio State led 12-10. Coach Francis Schmidt's Scarlet Scourge gave Michigan fans an exhibition of sky manuevers hitherto the chief in stock-in-trade of Wolverine elevens. Ohio scored in every quarter, threatened on four other opportunities...
Ohio State was now 2-0 against its rival and Schmidt owned the two widest margins of victory over the Wolverines for any coach in program history. The Buckeyes would also beat Michigan in 1936 and 1937, making Schmidt the first coach in program history to start 4-0 against the Wolverines.
We beat the No. 4 team so convincingly, I believe we deserve to be rated No. 1 now. A great victory, wasn't it?" A then-record crowd of 105,539 fans packed the Shoe and filled the stadium with anxious anticipation of a sweet victory over their hated rival with everything on the line. The anxiety came courtesy of the numerous times Ohio State fell short of winning the national championship since the special season of 1968.
Ohio State caught a break in the fourth quarter when Chris Gamble was interfered with when attempting to catch a punt. Following the 15-yard penalty, the Buckeyes were still trailing by two points, but had the ball on their own 43-yard line with 8:30 remaining in the game. The timing couldn't have been better as Clarett ran the wheel route down the sideline for a 26-yard gain down to Michigan's 6-yard line. Two plays later, Maurice Hall took an option toss from Krenzel for the potential game-winning touchdown.
