Viewing guide: How to watch Ohio State versus Michigan in The Game on FUBO
COLUMBUS — Give both Ohio State and Michigan credit for keeping their true feelings under wraps this week.
But make no mistake: the rivalry that was built for 100 years on respect has taken a hateful, spiteful turn. And these two teams just flat-out don’t like each other. Jim Harbaugh and Ryan Day declined to answer whether they respect each other — because it’s very likely they don’t.
And the players and coaching staffs on both sides are in the same boat. The programs both think they’re being robbed right now — for very different reasons. And finally, after all the hiding of feelings for the last week and change, the programs will finally meet on the field again for their annual showdown to close the regular season.
Oh, and it’s worth noting that Ohio State and Michigan are No. 2 and No. 3, respectively in both the AP Poll and College Football Playoff rankings. They’re both undefeated. And there’s so much on the line Saturday in the Big House.
Lettermen Row has everything you need to get ready for the greatest rivalry in all of sport. It’s Ohio State vs. Michigan. Let’s dive in.
Ohio State vs. Michigan: Game time, details
Michigan leads the all-time series 60-51-6 and has won the last two meetings in the rivalry. But Ohio State has won 18 of the last 21 meetings between bitter rivals.
Last season, the Buckeyes entered The Game as a home favorite and led 20-17 at the half. But the Wolverines hung around and kept it close during the entire first half and wore down the Buckeyes in the second half, outscoring Ohio State 28-3 in the second half to upset Ryan Day’s team and keep control of the rivalry with their first win in Columbus since 2000. Now Ohio State has a chance to go to Ann Arbor and take back the rivalry.
