History was made today in Columbus, for the wrong reasons if you’re a Michigan fan.
The Wolverines lost to the Buckeyes 62-39.
That point total was the most OSU has ever scored against Michigan. In fact, OSU never scored over 50 points vs U-M before The Game on Saturday.
When asked if he knew about this statistic before today, Jim Harbaugh said he was aware of it.
Ohio State's 62 points are the most that Michigan has ever allowed in regulation since it started playing football in 1879.

Michigan had the 2nd-ranked defense entering today's game.
Ohio State offensive totals:
- Total Yards- 567
- Passing Yards- 218
- Rushing Yards- 249
- QB Dwayne Haskins: 19-of-30, 318 yds, 5 TD’s
- RB Mike Weber: 96 yds, 1 TD
- WR Parris Campbell: 5 receptions, 114 yds, 1 TD
- WR Chris Olave: 2 receptions, 48 yds, 2 TD’s
Harbaugh gave OSU credit at his post-game presser, saying they had speedy players and a great gameplan. Michigan safety Tyree Kinnel echoed those thoughts, saying everytime Michigan made an adjustment the Buckeyes countered it.
Crossing patterns, mesh routes, big run plays, long passes, read-option runs, everything was working for OSU today.
