OSU-Michigan: Fourth quarter
The fourth quarter begins. Michigan’s bus driver inserts key into ignition.
2:40 — Boom Herron scores easily on a 2-yard run after a near-interception in the end zone by Michigan. Great play by Wolverines’ DB. Almost good enough to have the play overturned. I doubt Woody Hayes called too many play-action passes on first-and-goal from the 2.
2:45 — Good to see Todd Boeckman in the game. We were talking in the office about what kind of reception he’d get, and it was positive. “Who knows, if he’d have played against Penn State that loss might not have been there,” Bob Griese says, giving a strong opinion.
2:46 — Boeckman hits Brian Hartline for a TD. Great stuff, and the OSU seniors love it.
2:52 — Rich Rodriguez has to be wondering what he got himself into. GameDay had an interesting pregame interview with RichRod, during which UM’s new coach admitted to not doing his homework before taking the job in Ann Arbor.
“I didn’t research and see there would only be one starter back on offense,” Rodriguez said. “I thought … go in there, line up and it’ll be OK. I should’ve known better.”
So what was he saying? That he wouldn’t have taken the Michigan job if he knew the Wolverines would be bad this season?
3:01 — In case you were wondering, Ohio State’s largest margin of victory against Michigan is 38 points (38-0 in 1935). … On the other hand, Michigan’s most decisive win was an 86-0 thumping back in 1902.
3:09 — There’s some salt in Rodriguez’s wounds. ABC just mentioned that West Virginia QB Pat White today became the top rushing quarterback in Division I history.
3:13 — Game over. Ohio State wins 42-7. One of the Buckeyes’ most decisive victories against Michigan. Also OSU’s fifth straight win over the Wolverines. And Jim Tressel now is 7-1 vs. Michigan.
Big Ten records since 1993, when Penn State joined the Big Ten:
Ohio State, 99-28-1
Michigan, 93-35
Penn State, 79-48
