November 23, 1996: Michigan 13, Ohio State 9

MICHIGAN ROLLED INTO COLUMBUS, OHIO, a 17-point underdog to number-two-ranked Ohio State. The Buckeyes were undefeated and had hopes of a national championship and a trip to the Rose Bowl on their minds.

The Wolverines set a defensive tone early on, even though they did not score in the first half. Ohio State drove the ball inside the red zone three times but had to settle for three field goals. Offensively Michigan struggled, and Brian Griese was put in at quarterback at the half to try to boost the offense.

He had an immediate impact. On the second play in the third quarter, he connected on a slant pass to Tai Streets for a score to cut into the Buckeye lead. Now the Michigan ground game finally came to life. The Wolverines rushed for 49 yards in the next drive, which ended with a field goal and a 10–9 lead.
