Ohio State vs. Michigan, updates, highlights from the 2021 ‘The Game’ showdown

Ohio State-Michigan is still considered a competitor, the competitive balance is damned. The Buckeyes have won all but two of the meetings between the two schools since 2001, and current Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh has yet to beat Ohio State in the six years since taking over his alma mater. .
