This historic matchup, filled with tension and fueled by a rivalry that stretches back generations, reached a dramatic climax on Saturday. Ohio State’s victory marks their first win over Michigan since 2018, effectively breaking the so-called “rivalry curse” that has haunted the Buckeyes in this fierce competition.
