Three years later, the script had flipped entirely for the Buckeyes as they dotted the ‘i’ in win that day, too. The 7th-ranked squad welcomed a stagnant Michigan team—struggling with a 5-6 record—to Columbus, in what would be Brady Hoke’s last hurrah (boo, really) against Buckeyes.
J.T. Barrett stepped up and continued to shine, throwing for 176 yards while rushing for 89. His three-touchdown day was cut short though with a broken ankle that left the packed Horseshoe painfully silent. But Ezekiel Elliot finished the job, ending the day with 121 yards and two touchdowns, while a guy named Cardale Jones took over at QB.
Final score: 42-28.
