Buckeyes v. That Team Up North

Outstanding OSU v. Michigan game. Well played, well coached, close, physical - everything a rivalry game is supposed to be.

Troy Smith had an outstanding drive at the end to push OSU over the Wolverines 25 - 21. Michigan's special teams and defense (two fumble recoveries) kept them in the game but ultimately Michigan ran out of time at the end of the game. Whew. Hats off to the OSU rush defense that limited the potent Michigan rushing attack to 31 yards. Michigan has struggled this entire year when the offense becomes one dimensional and this was no exception. I really want to know what sedatives Tressel is on because I swear that man is unflappable. The only bummer was the number of injuries. I hate seeing seniors get hurt this late in the season and Bobby Carpenter breaking his ankle was a shame. Nonetheless great game. 364 days till another OSU v. Michigan game and it can't come soon enough.
