For the first time in 10 years, Michigan beat Ohio State on Saturday. The jokes are coming in from Michigan fans — even the state police.

Michigan State Police’s Metro Detroit district sent out a tweet asking Wolverines fans to stay safe as they celebrate the 42-27 victory. As for Ohio State fans, the tweet said they can take their time going home because “[their] season is over.”

Talk about kicking a team while it’s down.

It’s Michigan’s first win over Ohio State in the Jim Harbaugh Era. Harbaugh was 0-5 against the Buckeyes heading into the matchup in his six years at the helm.

With the win, the No. 5-ranked Wolverines advance to the Big Ten Championship game next week in Indianapolis. As for the No. 2-ranked Buckeyes, their College Football Playoff hopes are likely to disappear.

Jim Harbaugh speaks after finally knocking off Ohio State

He finally did it. Jim Harbaugh beat Ohio State as Michigan head coach.

The Wolverines — the No. 5 team in the nation — dominated from the beginning en route to a 42-27 win over the No. 2-ranked Buckeyes at The Big House Saturday afternoon.

You could hear the sense of relief in the coach’s voice as he chatted briefly with FOX Sports sideline reporter Jenny Taft after the game.

“I just feel so great for the players, who prepared so well for this game and then went out and executed pretty much thoroughly,” Harbaugh told Taft.

Taft asked him about running back Hassan Haskins after his huge day. Haskins rushed for 169 yards and five touchdowns to lead the Michigan offense. But Harbaugh pointed to another Michigan star: Aidan Hutchinson, who set the Michigan single-season sacks record on Saturday by sacking CJ Stroud three times.

“Hassan Haskins, Aidan Hutchinson, two guys that have carried this team on their back all season long and a group of guys that just play their hearts out,” Harbaugh said.

The game is sure to shake up the College Football Playoff rankings. One thing’s for sure, though. Harbaugh finally has a win over Michigan’s arch rival as a head coach.

He had three words to end the interview.

“We did it,” he said before joining his team — and the fans who rushed the field — to celebrate.
