Ohio State lost to Michigan in heartbreaking fashion as the Wolverines punched their ticket to the Big Ten championship game, ending the Buckeyes regular season. The key drive of the game was Michigan’s last possession, as the offense executed a 13-play, seven-minute drive, which ended in a field goal and drained the clock to around one minute left.
That final Buckeyes defensive possession had fans thinking back to earlier in the year, when Lou Holtz called Ohio State soft before the Buckeyes’ game vs. Notre Dame in September. Ohio State ultimately beat the Fighting Irish that game, and coach Ryan Day called out Holtz postgame.
“I’d like to know where Lou Holtz is right now. What he said about our team … I cannot believe. This is a tough team right here,” Day said moments after that victory.
