Michigan seeks a changing of the guard in the Big Ten. Ohio State wants to return to the status quo. The answer is clear for which team fellow Big Ten programs should root for in this installment of 'The Game' writes Andy_Staples.
with lots of glories. But Michigan has a real chance to change everything … for everyone.
The tune was called “Buckeye Swag,” and the title seemed wholly appropriate. The Best Damn Band in the Land blasted that banger through a rapidly emptying Spartan Stadium a little more than 10 years ago. On the field, Ohio State players danced. Even Urban Meyer bobbed his head a little to celebrate a 17-16 win against aprogram that had emerged as one of Ohio State’s chief contenders during the tail end of the Jim Tressel era.
During that stretch, Ohio State went 31-2 in Big Ten regular-season play and 4-0 in the Big Ten title game. Even though Meyer stepped down after the 2018 season, successor Ryan Day followed the same approach to roster building. And nowhere was the gap between the Buckeyes and the rest of the league more apparent than in the Michigan game. After losing by a butt cheek in 2016, Michigan lost the next three meetings by a combined 63 points.
In defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald — on loan for a year from brother John’s Baltimore Ravens staff — Harbaugh found a tactician who could match wits with Day and Buckeyes coordinator Kevin Wilson. By moving tight ends coach Sherrone Moore to the offensive line, Harbaugh provided the position group that could do the most damage with the best possible person to teach it how to inflict that damage. In essence, Harbaugh built an old-school Big Ten team capable of playing a modern game.
