Michigan continues to try and be more and more like Ohio State. I guess when you only have one win in a decade you might as well be the equivalent of Burger King to McDonald’s.
Last year, in a nod to how the Buckeyes treat the rivalry, Jim Harbaugh and company embraced putting signage up the Wolverine weight room to ask the team: “What are you doing today to beat Ohio State.” There was clearly more emphasis put on beating OSU and it worked, at least last fall when Michigan physically beat up an Ohio State team that seemed to be on its heels to the tune of 42-27.
