Even the most optimistic Michi-
gan football fan isn't predicting a
win over Ohio State tomorrow like
the one that took place in 1902.
That year, Michigan trashed
the Buckeyes at Ann Arbor's Ferry
Field by a score of 86-0. That's the
highest-scoring game between the
two teams ever played. The sec-
ond highest scoring game was last
year's 42-39 Ohio State win over
Michigan in Columbus.
From 1901 to 1905, Michigan
coach Fielding Yost led the Wol-
verines through 56 consecutive
games without a loss and to four
national championships. In those
five seasons, Michigan outscored
their opponents 2,821 to 42.
The Ohio State game wasn't
even the highest scoring game of
the 1902 season. That year, Michi-
gan also defeated Iowa 107-0 and
Michigan State 119-0.
A crowd of 6,000 people came to
ING MICHIGAN-OHIO STATE
86-0
the game. According to The Michi-
gan Daily-News (which would
become The Michigan Daily), the
Michigan fans shouted: "What
will we do? What will we do? We'll
rub it into OSU, That's what we'll
do!"
But Ohio State fans also turned
out en force. The paper estimated
that 2,000 of them took special
trains from Columbus to Ann
Arbor for the game.
The teams played a 35-minute
first half and a 25-minute sec-
ond half. The Wolverines scored
their first touchdown just three
minutes and 15 seconds into the
game.
During the first half, after aplay-
er from Ohio State returned Mich-
igan's punt for 15 yards, another
Buckeye had his jersey completely
torn off and the two teams had to
form a screen while he put on a
new one.
By halftime, after several easy
scores for Michigan, the score
was 45-0. The second half was a
repeat of the first, with Michigan
scoring early and often. The Wol-
verines scored a touchdown in the
first and last three minutes in the
half.
The day after the game, The
Michigan Daily-News quoted
then-Ohio State coach Perry
Hale talking about the game on
his way to catch a train back to
Columbus.
"We were licked, that's all, and
we don't denyit," he said."Itcomes
hard tobe beaten. I'm sorry it came
quite so badly, but we will meet it
like sportsman."
Except for ties in 1900 and 1910,
Michigan won every showdown
between the schools from their first
meeting in 1897 until 1918. Michi-
gan holds a 57-40-6 lead overall.
