But the win was not a gimme by any means. In fact, Ohio State held a 7–3 lead in the first quarter. Karsatos connected with Carter on a 4-yard TD. The Buckeyes increased their advantage 14–3 when Workman galloped 43 yards for the score.

Schembechler made adjustments at the half, and his Wolverines took control of the final two periods. Harbaugh managed scoring drives of 85, 83, and 76 yards. With 1:06 to play in the game, Michigan had a 26–24 lead. Ohio State had the ball on the Michigan 28 and faced a fourth down. Coach Earl Bruce opted to attempt a field goal to try to win the game. But Ohio State kicker Matt Franz missed the kick, and Michigan won the epic battle. Harbaugh had been right on both counts: His Wolverines beat Ohio State and went to Pasadena in the Rose Bowl.
