On the field.

Why not Michigan State?
MSU coach Mark Dantonio proved he could beat Meyer, but Harbaugh never did. Meyer has owned the Wolverines, beating them seven straight times, including all four times against Harbaugh.
In his last game against « The Team Up North,” Meyer simply outcoached Harbaugh, as the Buckeyes demolished the Wolverines, 62-39, and ruined their chances of a Big Ten title and shot at the College Football Playoff.
That loss still lingers in every way. On Monday, several Michigan players were asked over and over about Ohio State.

But whether they would ever beat the Buckeyes.
« I don’t read the news, really, » Michigan lineman Ben Bredeson said. « But to each their own. If you want to write that, freedom of the press. You can do whatever you want.
