Ohio State Beats Michigan 14 - 3

I ran into one of my neighbors during the 3rd quarter of the game when the score was already 14 - 3. He is a loyal Michigan fan so we always have a few comments for each other this time of year. He had gone to Crocs, the legendary Buckeye bar for part of the game. I don’t think it was much fun for him, especially as points started to add up on the board in the Buckeyes favor. So he left but did have a couple of pics of the cheering Buckeye crowd on his cell phone.

I asked him if I could get a couple for this blog post and he started to reach for his phone and then paused… the wheels in his Michigan mind moving very, very slowly…. and he said no.

Guess he didn’t want to be a contributor to this blog entry and I can understand. 89 total yards for the Michigan offense. 222 yards alone for Beanie Wells. And all of it on Michigan’s home field.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) -Jim Tressel got the best of Lloyd Carr again, maybe for the last time.

Tressel became the first Ohio State coach to beat Michigan six times in seven years, and the seventh-ranked Buckeyes’ 14-3 victory Saturday over their archrival gave them consecutive outright Big Ten titles for the first time in a half-century.

Chris Wells ran for a career-high 222 yards and two touchdowns and Vernon Gholston and the Buckeyes’ defense dominated Michigan’s banged-up offense.

The Buckeyes (11-1, 7-1 Big Ten) are likely headed to the Rose Bowl for the first time since 1997. They also hold onto slim hopes of climbing back into the BCS title game, but several teams ahead of them would need to go down.

Go Buckeyes!!
