The win a decade in the making for Michigan 〽️

Michigan entered its 2021 showdown with Ohio State carrying the weight of a decade of frustration. The Wolverines hadn’t beaten their biggest rival since 2011, had lost eight straight meetings, and Jim Harbaugh had never defeated the Buckeyes as head coach.

But this time was different.

Behind a relentless rushing attack and a dominant performance in the snow, Michigan controlled the game from start to finish. Hassan Haskins was unstoppable, bulldozing his way into the end zone five different times while the Wolverines’ defense repeatedly came up with huge stops.

A late touchdown from Haskins put the game on ice, sealing a 42-27 victory and ending one of college football’s most painful droughts.

Within seconds, the Big House erupted as thousands of fans stormed the field, celebrating Michigan’s first win over Ohio State in 10 years and punching the Wolverines’ ticket to the Big Ten Championship Game.

The unforgettable victory changed the trajectory of the Harbaugh era, reignited “The Game,” and marked the beginning of Michigan’s return to the top of college football.
