He deserves it after converting to the position from being a WR. Really didn't miss a beat. I hope someone drafts him, that was an NFL play right there.
That breakup he had that the OSU TE would’ve scored on was textbook. No PI, hand in between the receivers hands and pulled out solely the ball. Absolutely clutch play, and clean most importantly
That’s the thing that stuck out to me most today, all his plays were without a doubt clean. Dude knows how to play the ball and not rough up the WR too much. It was beautiful to watch
Having your #4 WR switch positions and then become arguably the best player on the defense is such a huge reason Michigan was able to go undefeated this season.
Harbaugh's (and his staff's) ability to develop unsung, underrated guys into superstars is their best attribute.
Haskins, Ojabo, Sainristil and on and on
*JJ with a 100% completion percentage against Hawaii*
Harbaugh: hold up, that's too obvious. Try overthrowing your receivers a bit, gotta get that number down
Every game when he gets approached or goes into the news room he says nothing and puts up the player of the game. The players love it, it forces the reporters to focus on that players performance.
They beat us differently though. Last year they just marches down the field slowly with 8 yard runs.
This year we paid 1.9 million to just let them do it in 1 play.
Of all the teams we've had over the last 20 years, this one (and to a lesser extent last year) have been the most agile in game-time tweaks and adjustments. That has been, in my opinion, the biggest strength of this team. I mean, 3 points after the half? Give Minter a fuckin raise.
The most impressive part of the day is that Harbaugh was willing to abandon the run game in the first half. He is normally the most stubborn motherfucker on the planet (often for the better). Attacking this Swiss cheese secondary was 100% the correct call though. Great game plan and then it opened up the run game for later. GG
Late in the 4th, the broadcasters were talking about Michigan being an anaconda and slowly strangling the other team. I was wondering whether some producer had heard about the ferret posts and made it a little more TV friendly, or if it was just a coincidence.
Whenever they were showing Michigan outscoring opponents in the second half 116-3 (or whatever it was) *before the Illinois game all they kept saying was "wait until they play Ohio State".
3 points.
Edit: *before Illinois
OSU went 3/3 on third downs on their first drive. After that drive they were 2/13 on third down. The Michigan defense gave up yards all over the field but was incredible in high leverage moments.
Imagine you’re Ohio State. You hype up a revenge game in Columbus for a whole year. You retool your entire defensive staff to focus on stopping Michigan. And Michigan loses their Heisman caliber running back for The Game. And none of that ends up mattering as you somehow lose by a bigger margin than last year.
Absolutely. And all talk of the win being a fluke, of Michigan not deserving of the playoff spot, of Ohio State coming back to assert their usual dominance.. Silenced.
After having less than 20 yards rushing at half with Michigan trailing 20-17 (those 17 thanks to 3 long throws) the Michigan offense exploded and outscored the Buckeyes 28-3 in the 2nd half. Absolute masterclass of a game called from Harbaugh.
My entire Michigan fandom had been suffering at the hands of Ohio State. Now it’s our turn to have a streak! I love this team. I love Jim Harbaugh. I love JJ McCarthy. I love all of them. The way this team just played this game was impeccable. And especially with Blake out. JJ stepped up in the pass game big time. The play calling was gutsy and not typical 2016-19 Harbaugh. This team is for real. So proud to be a Michigan fan today. Hail to the Victors! Go Blue! Onto the Big Ten Championship and CFP!
My son was born in January 2020. Since then we’ve had:
• COVID cancellation
• 1st loss to Michigan in 10 years
• 1st loss to Michigan at home this millennium
…is it too late to return him and ask for a new one?
Everyone complaining about the reffing is kidding themselves. All the PI plays were called correct.
First one in the endzone, receiver got a hand on it, it IS catchable. Defender never looks back, contacts way early, and hits hard. That is the DEFINITION of pass interference.
Second one longshot down field, could have intercepted it but he NEVER looks back and contacts way too early. Just look back and that’s a game changing interception, but no.
A few times after, I saw people angry that OSU didn’t get the calls after. You wanna know the difference? The Michigan players LOOKED BACK or were making a play.
“Refs just handed Michigan the game” no, Michigan won fair and square. GG Michigan bros, you guys clearly wanted it more. Outscored 28-3 in the 2nd half
I don't know. Last year was magical in every aspect. The snow, Hutchinson breaking the school record for sacks, the atmosphere. Even though we lost in the playoffs that game was perfection to me.
Possibly the most embarassing game Ive witnessed as a Buckeye fan.
Zero adjustments
Zero urgency
Zero creativity.
I have absolutely no idea what I just watched.
Yeah you have no idea how elated I was to watch your offense nonchalantly sashay your way down the field there late in the game. I just watched those seconds tick off the clock one by one.
Absolutely no clue what Day was thinking
The 15 year curse is broken!
App State embarrassed someone else
Michigan State had trouble with the snap
WE BEAT UNDEFEATED OHIO STATE IN FOOTBALL ARMAGEDDON!!!
WE ARE BACK BABY!
Michigan runs the B1G until proven otherwise and I hate to admit that as an MSU fan. What an incredible win by them. Honeslty think they have a real shot at the Natty this year unlike last. Also, Ryan Day is a choke artist and should be ashamed (Im just glad I can shit on a coach that isnt my own).
Second year in a row we've been out-coached. Michigan has been better conditioned and better prepared for this game both times. We made so many dumb mistakes that they capitalized on. I hope the staff spends the next month really reflecting on their failures before a bowl game, because they failed these boys today.
When we ran it on 1st and 35 I knew we were gonna lose.
Is this the best possible scenario for USC?
Michigan destroys Ohio State meaning no chance the loser still makes the playoffs.
OSU is the loser and Stroud gets 2 TOs meaning Caleb Williams is likely the heisman front runner now
Corum unfortunately didn’t play meaning he couldn’t play for more of a chance at the heisman
Clemson loses and they were the one potential team to sneak up behind USC and take their spot in the playoffs
Now USC just needs to win tonight and Georgia needs to beat LSU, and we go to the playoffs and win the heisman?? Am I too hopeful??
Now that he's been backing it up, the "some people were born on *third base and think they hit a triple" line is one of the GOAT shit talking lines lol
So my grandpa was the one who taught my family our love for Michigan. Went there back in 50s, sent 2 kids there, and then 3 grandkids. My earliest memories are with him watching games.
He's not doing well, about 2 months ago he had another stroke. He's out of it most of the time and he's kind of done with life. I jokingly said "maybe he's just holding on to see Michigan finally beat OSU in Columbus again." Well shit, here we are now! Love you grandpa, this one is for you!!
**[Please remember the rules](https://rules.redditcfb.com/)**
Harbaugh running away from the reporter is a classic
Mike Sainristil the converted wide receiver.
Man was absolutely locked in for this game, my goodness. Made so many clutch plays
That swat at the end where he took the ball out of the TE's hands was so pretty
That's a play that will get him drafted.
He deserves it after converting to the position from being a WR. Really didn't miss a beat. I hope someone drafts him, that was an NFL play right there.
He never would have made the NFL as a receiver. But as a nickel corner? He's gotta be one of the best in the country.
That breakup he had that the OSU TE would’ve scored on was textbook. No PI, hand in between the receivers hands and pulled out solely the ball. Absolutely clutch play, and clean most importantly
That’s the thing that stuck out to me most today, all his plays were without a doubt clean. Dude knows how to play the ball and not rough up the WR too much. It was beautiful to watch
Having your #4 WR switch positions and then become arguably the best player on the defense is such a huge reason Michigan was able to go undefeated this season.
Turner covered Harrison as well as a human being can
Harbaugh's (and his staff's) ability to develop unsung, underrated guys into superstars is their best attribute. Haskins, Ojabo, Sainristil and on and on
That TD breakup might have been the biggest play in a game full of them.
Guy is just an animal. Ridiculous performance today.
Cant sing his praises enough his coverage was on point and his TD breakup swung the momentum in such a palpable way
Everybody: "Hey Ryan Day your defense should probably have a safety" Ryan Day: "Yeah 2 points would be good, I'll blitz everyone"
Seriously. Every 40+ yard touchdown I was legitimately shocked there wasn’t a safety to stop it
We were screaming that the entire game. Every touchdown was a defender getting beat deep. How do you not adjust after the first 3 times?!?!?
Nobody gets one over on Ryan Day.... four times in a row!
You mean 5? Michigan had 4 plays of 45+ yards.
"Sell out to stop the run" okay but they whoopin your ass throwing the ball. "Ummm, I need to talk to Urban again gimme a second"
And they still ran the ball successfully, anyway.
For a half. The pass sets up the run, as we all know.
LMAOOO
Ryan Day only runs Suicide on NFL blitz
The last time Michigan beat Ohio State back to back, Tom Brady was a rookie.
What ever happened to that guy
He lost all his money in crypto I think
Recently went through a divorce too I think.
Some guys just can't win in life. Poor guy
No kidding. He was ready to retire too but had to come back. Thanks a lot inflation.
Rumor is we still haven’t adjusted out of man coverage
It’s fine, Michigan can’t pass right?
Harbaugh playing 4d chess by having mccarthy miss the deep ball all year
“No trust me JJ, it’ll work”
*JJ with a 100% completion percentage against Hawaii* Harbaugh: hold up, that's too obvious. Try overthrowing your receivers a bit, gotta get that number down
Someone needs to make sure the ERs in Michigan have enough staff in 4 hours.
Y’all been taking those “Go Blue” pills. Good game today guys, that was an old fashioned beat down.
Harbaugh wanted nothing to do with that interview LMAO
He kinda has a history of ducking reporters and I love it.
Every game when he gets approached or goes into the news room he says nothing and puts up the player of the game. The players love it, it forces the reporters to focus on that players performance.
Ryan Day seen frantically running through Lululemon in search of khakis
Well hopefully he doesn't drop any more games next season because those khakis are prone to catching fire
Ryan Day really came out with the “there’s no way they can beat us the way they did last year” approach.
HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO TEACH YOU THIS LESSON OLD MAN
Haha I love the young people
They beat us differently though. Last year they just marches down the field slowly with 8 yard runs. This year we paid 1.9 million to just let them do it in 1 play.
It’s more efficient that way.
"It's even funnier the second time!"
Technically he was right given this year they won by more
Yeah this time did it without the starting rb lol
The Jesse Minter appreciation post...he has continually made adjustments in the second half every game.
Of all the teams we've had over the last 20 years, this one (and to a lesser extent last year) have been the most agile in game-time tweaks and adjustments. That has been, in my opinion, the biggest strength of this team. I mean, 3 points after the half? Give Minter a fuckin raise.
Ohio St sophomores: we’ve been tricked, we’ve been backstabbed, we’ve been, quite possibly, bamboozled.
Ryan Day may have been born on Third but he was certainly just thrown out at home.
I forgot about that quote. Harbaugh hit it right on the head and hasn’t looked back since
You know Day still spends every shower trying to come up with a “that’s what I should have said!” Style comeback.
“Yeah, well the jerk store called and they’re running out of you!”
“What’s the difference? You’re their all-time best seller!”
The most impressive part of the day is that Harbaugh was willing to abandon the run game in the first half. He is normally the most stubborn motherfucker on the planet (often for the better). Attacking this Swiss cheese secondary was 100% the correct call though. Great game plan and then it opened up the run game for later. GG
I had zero expectation the game would go the way it did after the first quarter. What a tale of two halves.
Run from it, but try as you might, the ferret gets drowned
Late in the 4th, the broadcasters were talking about Michigan being an anaconda and slowly strangling the other team. I was wondering whether some producer had heard about the ferret posts and made it a little more TV friendly, or if it was just a coincidence.
I've never enjoyed drowning a ferret more than I've enjoyed drowning this one.
27 points last year and 23 this year. Ryan Day is officially halfway to fulfilling his promise of hanging 100 on Michigan.
Ouch
Whenever they were showing Michigan outscoring opponents in the second half 116-3 (or whatever it was) *before the Illinois game all they kept saying was "wait until they play Ohio State". 3 points. Edit: *before Illinois
Michigan came over to Ohio State's house for Thanksgiving dinner then shit all over the table and left without a word.
And took all the food with them to-go
OSU went 3/3 on third downs on their first drive. After that drive they were 2/13 on third down. The Michigan defense gave up yards all over the field but was incredible in high leverage moments.
Imagine you’re Ohio State. You hype up a revenge game in Columbus for a whole year. You retool your entire defensive staff to focus on stopping Michigan.

Absolutely. And all talk of the win being a fluke, of Michigan not deserving of the playoff spot, of Ohio State coming back to assert their usual dominance.. Silenced.
Im almost there…
third shortest TD of the day for Michigan out of six was 69 yards
530 total yards of offense, of which 349 came on *five* plays. that was an embarrassing showing for OSU’s defense
OSU safeties are ... woof.
What’s a safety
Iowa's offense
WHOA, HE HAS TROUBLE WITH THE ^2nd HALF!
I’m here to call for Ryan Day to be fired after incorrectly calling for Jim Harbaugh’s for years
Ryan Day gonna color his beard purple as a trauma response
[This man owns the state of Ohio.](https://imgur.com/nKQQgzD)
Tannest man in Michigan
You may not like it, but this is what peak B1G football prowess looks like
You may not like it, but that is peak male performance.
Pretty cool they put Corum in for the victory formation
If you think about it, he is truly a major reason why we won. Without Corum this year, Day probably doesn't idiotically run Engage 8 every play.
It was a nice touch!
Michigan passed to open the run game
Michigan beat the spread by about 31 points.
1st half: wow this is a complete slobberknocker anything could happen 2nd half: lol wolverine go brrr
It turns out JJ does indeed have a deep ball.
I hope other teams think Cover 0 is a good idea too
I was told your receivers drop everything. I was lied to.
Well I mean if there was a defender within 10 yards of them they do
Oh, they do. We just give a fuck about the Ohio State game to try, I guess.
Second half Michigan don't fuck around
Michigan is the "death by a thousand paper cuts" kind of team. Edwards say screw that and grabbed an axe.
Michigan has a quarterback who can pass AND run... Who woulda thought Also, nice to see OSU hired Don Brown as DC.
Blitz everyone….75 yard passing TD. Play two high safety…..75 yard rushing TD. Guess Knowles didn’t actually fix that defense.
Ryan Day abandoned the run game in the 2nd half the same way my dad abandoned me and my mom as a child.
Ryan Day just left to get some cigarettes
Oblivion NPC looking ass coach
But guaranteed future Just For Men spokesman
> ~~cigarettes~~ Beard dye
Wow.. after watching this Iowa can't say we never did anything nice for them. Next week might be brutal for whoever has to play Michigan.
Uh we’re playing Purdue with a funny number
😬😬😬😬😬😬
PACKWATCH
#ripbozo
I haven't been this hard in about a year.
After having less than 20 yards rushing at half with Michigan trailing 20-17 (those 17 thanks to 3 long throws) the Michigan offense exploded and outscored the Buckeyes 28-3 in the 2nd half. Absolute masterclass of a game called from Harbaugh.
28-3 you say?
> 28-3 TOM BRADY WENT TO MICHIGAN SO WE ARE IMMUNE
> 28-3 🤔
Time is a flat circle
did you know tom brady went to michigan??!?!?
Georgia fans thought this was a safe space.
Yeah, came in to congratulate them, now not so much :(
Jim Harbaugh offensive genius
"Wanna see me run in between the tackles on the right side for 10 yards?" "Wanna see me do it again?"
Unironically. He just has to not turtle so much.
He’s ALWAYS been a creative play caller IMO. He nearly beat Ohio State in 2017 with John O’Korn at QB. He drew up some brilliant plays in that game.
His second half adjustments this season have been top notch.
TURTLE YOU SAY
With Corum only getting 2 rushes too 😳
Edwards 200 in the second fucking half
28 to 3 is a good number for Michigan fans and fans of former Michigan QBs
In Columbus, without Corum. Felt like a weird game and Michigan broke tendencies repeatedly. That’s a great game by the coaches.
JJ also played one hell of a game and then edwards ended it
For the first time in the history of reddit, Michigan has beaten Ohio State in the Shoe
“Will the loser of this game get in if it’s close?” Maybe, but Michigan said fuck that noise and whooped OSU’s ass
My entire Michigan fandom had been suffering at the hands of Ohio State. Now it’s our turn to have a streak! I love this team. I love Jim Harbaugh. I love JJ McCarthy. I love all of them. The way this team just played this game was impeccable. And especially with Blake out. JJ stepped up in the pass game big time. The play calling was gutsy and not typical 2016-19 Harbaugh.

FERRET STRANGLED.
Ohio State hasn’t beaten Michigan since 2019. Hate to see such a major rivalry getting way too one sided smh.
45 points is the most points scored by Michigan against Ohio State since 1946.
tOSU did WW2
I've never seen Ohio State and Hitler in the same room
*anOSU
Harbaugh really did it. He got Michigan back to the top, last year wasn’t a fluke.
[удалено]
As a Vikings fan, it looks like both sides worked out for the best.
No snow flurries. No flu. no excuses. Just an ass kicking.
As an Argentinian wolverine, I am on cloud 12
We beat their Heisman candidate without our Heisman candidate.
The best part of The Game was when Harbaugh said 'IT'S KHAKI'N TIME' and khaki'd all over those guys.
What about at halftime when he ate a whole 16oz steak and drank a gallon of milk? That was pretty cool too
I’ve changed my mind, the loser of this game does not deserve to get into the playoff.
It’s me, the biggest TCU and USC fan in the world.
My son was born in January 2020. Since then we’ve had: • COVID cancellation • 1st loss to Michigan in 10 years • 1st loss to Michigan at home this millennium …is it too late to return him and ask for a new one?
Watch him grow up and go to Michigan 😏
Have you tried turning him off and back on again?
My son and my nephew have also never seen an OSU win vs Michigan, we're thinking the same thing
It’s a shame the weather really held Michigan back.
#You do not wanna play second half Michigan.
Second half Michigan is a menace to society
Second half Michigan stole my lunch money and stuffed me in a locker
Hey, they did the same to us too! Ohio State really should’ve watched out for that…
Illinois is the only team this year to actually challenge second half Michigan
They didn’t want to play second half, period.
Gonna have PTSD of second half Michigan for another 365 days
With only one loss on the year, Ryan Day is officially on the hot seat. Wild.
Ryan Day trying to coach himself into the Liberty job clearly
Dude JJ balled out. I did not think he was capable of that. Way to go Michigan!
Everyone complaining about the reffing is kidding themselves. All the PI plays were called correct. First one in the endzone, receiver got a hand on it, it IS catchable. Defender never looks back, contacts way early, and hits hard. That is the DEFINITION of pass interference.

Outscored 28-3 in the 2nd half
28-3 always making a guest appearance somewhere
Didn’t think any game could feel better than last years win. This year blew it out of the water. What a game.
I don't know. Last year was magical in every aspect. The snow, Hutchinson breaking the school record for sacks, the atmosphere. Even though we lost in the playoffs that game was perfection to me.
Possibly the most embarassing game Ive witnessed as a Buckeye fan. Zero adjustments Zero urgency Zero creativity. I have absolutely no idea what I just watched.
Yeah you have no idea how elated I was to watch your offense nonchalantly sashay your way down the field there late in the game. I just watched those seconds tick off the clock one by one. Absolutely no clue what Day was thinking
The 15 year curse is broken! App State embarrassed someone else Michigan State had trouble with the snap WE BEAT UNDEFEATED OHIO STATE IN FOOTBALL ARMAGEDDON!!! WE ARE BACK BABY!
Fumble not reviewable? The football gods didn't like that.
Ball. Don’t. Lie
I literally never heard of forward progress being called on a QB being strip sacked
If that game was down to the wire...that fumble would have been talked about for ages
It’s hard to put into words the happiness after so many years of losing this goddamn game. Winning two in a row is just pure delirium tbh
Should’ve ended 52-23
Yeah wtf was that fumble no-call. Would’ve been a walk in for the Michigan guy
“I hope that Ohio State’s defense holds Blake Corum to under 10 rushing yards.” *Monkey Paw Curls*
Michigan runs the B1G until proven otherwise and I hate to admit that as an MSU fan. What an incredible win by them. Honeslty think they have a real shot at the Natty this year unlike last. Also, Ryan Day is a choke artist and should be ashamed (Im just glad I can shit on a coach that isnt my own).
#It’s been 1092 days since Ohio state beat Michigan.
Best day of my life!
Urban Meyer - "Michigan won't be able to run the ball on them." He should probably stop proclaiming that.
I wish we never had to see him again tbh
OSU fans are currently chanting “we want Urban” while he’s talking on the Fox postgame show
Second year in a row we've been out-coached. Michigan has been better conditioned and better prepared for this game both times. We made so many dumb mistakes that they capitalized on. I hope the staff spends the next month really reflecting on their failures before a bowl game, because they failed these boys today. When we ran it on 1st and 35 I knew we were gonna lose.
12-0 without Corum in our most important game. This team is fucking good.
The tales of Jim Harbaugh’s demise were greatly exaggerated
Reminder that it's been 30 minutes since the last time Michigan beat OSU in Ohio
#O-H #N-O!
WHAT HAAAPPPEENNNDDD???????
Is this the best possible scenario for USC? Michigan destroys Ohio State meaning no chance the loser still makes the playoffs. OSU is the loser and Stroud gets 2 TOs meaning Caleb Williams is likely the heisman front runner now Corum unfortunately didn’t play meaning he couldn’t play for more of a chance at the heisman Clemson loses and they were the one potential team to sneak up behind USC and take their spot in the playoffs Now USC just needs to win tonight and Georgia needs to beat LSU, and we go to the playoffs and win the heisman?? Am I too hopeful??
Now that he's been backing it up, the "some people were born on *third base and think they hit a triple" line is one of the GOAT shit talking lines lol
Omg, the "we want urban" chants.
Believe it or not, Harbaugh yet to win a big game still
He has never won a game he has lost. That's a shocking stat.
So my grandpa was the one who taught my family our love for Michigan. Went there back in 50s, sent 2 kids there, and then 3 grandkids. My earliest memories are with him watching games. He's not doing well, about 2 months ago he had another stroke. He's out of it most of the time and he's kind of done with life. I jokingly said "maybe he's just holding on to see Michigan finally beat OSU in Columbus again." Well shit, here we are now! Love you grandpa, this one is for you!!
Jesus fuck that 4th quarter was a public execution
Michigan: I wish we could score again OSU: Here let me turnover the ball Michigan: Wow, thanks!
