The Ohio State Buckeyes will face the Michigan State Spartans for the 51st time in program history on Saturday at 4:00 p.m. ET. Against its conference opponent, Ohio State is 35-15. The largest margin of victory for the Buckeyes came last season as Ohio State put the hammer down, 56-7, with Ryan Day as head coach. The largest margin of victory for the Spartans came in 1965 when Michigan State won 32-7.
The first meeting between the two programs was in 1912 when the Buckeyes lost to the Spartans, 35-20. The two programs met last season and as we previously noted that was the biggest blowout Ohio State has ever provided. We will see what this season brings, but we wanted to provide recaps of five memorable games against Michigan State.
