WATCH: Every Scoring Play From the 108th Edition of "The Game"

There was not a lot of hope for the Michigan Wolverines going into Saturday's game against the Ohio State Buckeyes. Pretty much everyone outside of Michigan figured the Buckeyes would run away with it, but instead the Wolverines proved just why this is the premiere rivalry in college football. Games like this are what makes rivalries as great as they are.

So kudos to both the Buckeyes and the Wolverines. Well done today gentlemen. Well done indeed. Now--does anyone want to see all the scoring plays from the game?


The above play was the attempted 2-point conversion. It looks like Devon Gardner was trying to thread way too tight of a needle and one of the Buckeyes stepped in front of the ball for the interception.

Gardner got the scoring started with a one-yard dash to make the score 7-0, Michigan.



Ohio State wasted little time responding with Braxton Miller throwing this 53-yard touchdown pass to Devin Smith. Tie game: 7-7


The Wolverines retook the lead with this 4-yard run by Fitzgerald Toussaint--14-7 Michigan.


Braxton Miller wasted little time once again, this time taking it up the gut himself 53-yards to pay dirt; 14-14.


Michigan wants this one though and takes the lead back after this 17-yard pass from Gardner to Jeremy Gallon; 21-14, Michigan.


But than Ohio State goes off starting with this 21-yard run to tie the game; 21-21.


A 3-yard run by Miller to take a 28-21 lead.


And a 22-yard pass to Jeff Heuerman for  35-21 lead.


It wouldn't have been surprising to see Ohio State take over at this point, but instead the Wolverines responded with an 11-yard pass from Gardner to Drew Dileo. 


And then a 2-yard pass to Jake Butt (yes Butt) to tie the game up at 35-35.


Carlos Hyde answered for the Buckeyes on the next drive bashing the ball down the throat of the Wolverines defense ending with this 1-yard plunge; 42-35, Ohio State.


Michigan brought its "A" game today and worked the ball back down the field till they were able to score on this 2-yard pass from Garnder to Devin Funchess.


I have to tip my figurative hat to Brady Hoke for going  for two rather than one. It was a gutsy call to make, and with the way his offense had been playing you can't fault him for making it--but it didn't work.

Thanks again for a great game gentlemen.
