Ohio State entered the contest unbeaten (9-0) and ranked No. 1 in the nation. Michigan was also unbeaten, sporting a 10-0 mark and ranked No. 4 in the nation. The winner of the game would be rewarded a spot in the Rose Bowl. Both teams had been dominant up to this point, but something had to give between two of college football's most prominent programs.
Relive this classic and take a look back in time to see how all the action unfolded.
