Lloyd Carr took over the Michigan program and despite entering The Game as an underdog to undefeated and 2nd-ranked OSU squads in both 1995 and 1996, he started his tenure 2-0 against the Buckeyes. The 1995 tilt in Ann Arbor saw Tshimanga Biakabutuka run over, around and through the Ohio State defense for 313 yards in a 31-23 win by No. 18 Michigan. A year later, the No.
