Buckeyes Win Outright Big Ten Title, Defeat Michigan 14-3 - The Ohio State Buckeyes Official Athletics Site - OhioStateBuckeyes.com

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) -[URL="https://admin.xosn.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=87743&SPID=10408&DB_OEM_ID=17300&ATCLID=1059367"]Jim Tressel[/URL] got the best of Lloyd Carr again, maybe for the last time.

Tressel became the first Ohio State coach to beat Michigan six times in seven years, and the seventh-ranked Buckeyes' 14-3 victory Saturday over their archrival gave them consecutive outright Big Ten titles for the first time in a half-century.
Chris Wells ran for a career-high 222 yards and two touchdowns and [URL="https://admin.xosn.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=87743&SPID=10408&DB_OEM_ID=17300&ATCLID=1059303"]Vernon Gholston[/URL] and the Buckeyes' defense dominated Michigan's banged-up offense.

Well, 'Mike Hart' and I took a ride to the other side of the Huron River where I set him free in his new home. Unless he can swim really well, he won't be able to make his way back here. Or to Michigan Stadium either (not that he needs to).

I know, same question I had: Why did you go to scUM???!?!??!

(Caption this?)

 

[OregonBuckeye]

From one loser to another: how fitting.

Methinks you don't get what's so funny about it.

Hint: Look at the scUM o-line in comparison to the tOSU d-line

I know, the O-line nearly got to the linebackers untouched!! THATS TALENT RIGHT THERE!!!!

One more cool fact...we held Michigan to their lowest point total against us in AA since Nov 19, 1955 when we shut them out 17-0.

..or.... "We are laying a turd THIS BIG"

Q: does anybody think that Woody would have taken a knee in the last minute from th TSUN 5

No, but that gets you 12-24 the following year.

Don't give them ammunition. Take a knee and live to whip their asses next year.

 

[Buckeneye]

Good lord though; Tressel is all class, I myself would have went for the score. Everybody @ BW3's was yelling "score"......

That said, 14 points; hmm, odd shades of 02'.

ESPN announcer: Hart got more yardage with his mouth than with his feet today.

Michigan's total offense by quarters:

1st: 53 yards
2nd: 13 yards
3rd: 17 yards
4th: 10 yards

Michigan gained a grand total of 40 yards in 13 possessions after the first quarter. Oh yeah, 15 yards rushing on 24 carries for the whole game.

The last time they had such a complete stretch against one other team was possibly Purdue, definitely Akron.
Fitting company for "we're back."

Saunders is pretty good - that was a classic line. Good catch, Sushi
