Revisiting previous two-game losing streaks versus Michigan with an eye on how Ohio State fared in avoiding a three-game slide.

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.

The win propelled Michigan into the Rose Bowl where it beat Washington State and earned a split national title with Nebraska. The following season No. 12 Ohio State hosted No. 19 Michigan with a chance to share the Big Ten title but the favored Buckeyes again fell flat losing 38-26. Michigan led 31-12 entering the fourth quarter before two OSU touchdowns trimmed the lead to 31-26 with seven minutes to play but a Drew Henson touchdown plunge with a little over a minute left capped Cooper's record at 2-10-1 versus the Wolverines.

The prophecy rang true even as unranked Ohio State entered the Big House with a mediocre 6-4 record to take on the 11th-ranked Wolverines. Behind 129 rushing yards and three touchdowns from Jonathan Wells, the Buckeyes built a 23-0 halftime lead and hung on for a 26-20 victory - Ohio State's first in Ann Arbor since 1987.Of course the 2001 win was just the start for Tressel as he won nine of 10 versus the Wolverines before resigning ahead of the 2011 season.

Instead, Jim Harbaugh ducked Ohio State during the pandemic-modified 2020 season. In 2021, No. 5 Michigan dumped No. 2 Ohio State, 42-27 in Ann Arbor. The Wolverines bullied the Buckeyes to the tune of 297 rushing yards on 7.2 a pop with six scores on the ground.
