Ryan Day is still searching for a second win against Michigan.
The Wolverines stunned No. 2 Ohio State 13-10 on Saturday to deal a crushing blow to the Buckeyes’ Big Ten title chances and hopes of a first-round bye in the College Football Playoff.
Dominic Zvada kicked a 21-yard field goal with 45 seconds to go to give the Wolverines the lead for good. Ohio State had a chance to tie or take the lead with no timeouts but failed to get a first down.
A skirmish broke out after the game as Michigan players went to go celebrate at midfield with a Michigan flag. The fracas appeared to be broken up until a Michigan player was celebrating with the flag again and Ohio State’s Jack Sawyer ripped the flag from his hands. That reignited the shoving as coaches, police and security personnel had to break up the conflict.
The defending national champions entered the game as 19.5-point underdogs and have now beaten Ohio State in four straight games. All four of those have come with Day as the Buckeyes’ head coach after Ohio State won seven straight games over Michigan in Urban Meyer’s tenure. Day’s only victory against Michigan came in 2019.
It’s the first four-game win streak for Michigan since Ohio State won in 1992 to break a four-game streak by the Wolverines.
