COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Michigan Wolverines have just upset the No. 2 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes in a 13-10 nailbiting victory to improve to 7-5 on the season.
The victory was the first time an unranked Wolverines team upset a ranked Buckeyes team in Columbus since Nov. 25, 1950, when the men in maize took down the then No. 8 ranked Buckeyes 9-3.

After the clock struck triple zeros, the Wolverines celebrated while grabbing their flag to plant it at midfield in the middle of the Ohio State logo.
In the midst of celebrating, while walking off the field, the Buckeyes stormed the party and started fighting the Wolverines because they couldn’t handle defeat.
Here is the full video of the incident after the game.

Speaking like a champion, running back Kalel Mullings described how his team overcame adversity and upset the Buckeyes as three-touchdown underdogs.
“For such a great game, you hate to see stuff like that after the game.
It’s bad for the sport. It’s bad for college football, but at the end of the day, they got to learn how to lose.
You can’t be fighting and stuff just because you lost a game. All of that fighting, we had 60 minutes. We had four quarters to do all of that fighting, and now they want to talk and fight.
That’s wrong. That’s classless in my opinion.”

Mullings, alongside kicker Dominic Zvada and the Wolverines stout defense, who held the Buckeyes to 10 points, put on a performance for the ages.
Even newly committed five-star plus quarter Bryce Underwood was impressed with his soon-to-be new team.
The victory was Michigan’s fourth consecutive win over the Buckeyes since the 1988-1991 seasons.
To matters worse, Ohio State spent $20 million on this roster that lost to an undermanned Wolverines.
Mullings finished the game with 32 carries for 132 yards and one touchdown.
But he was more proud of his team than of his individual stats.
“I’m so proud of all the boys out here. All of the boys at home. The entire program. Through the ups and downs. Fighting all season. We didn’t have the necessary season that we wanted to have. But going through those ups and downs. Some things don’t change. We came out knowing what we had to do. Knowing that it was possible if we played our game, we could come out with a win, and we did just that.”
