Noon that Saturday back in 2015 had a cosmos-vibrating buzz that probably registered as a small earthquake over in Ypsilanti. It was Coach Jim Harbaugh’s first go as the Savior of Michigan Football. The crowd at the Big House was massive, over 110,000. Ohio State was the defending national champions, but coming off their first loss of the year. The Wolverines were 9-2, ranked 12th, and trending in the right direction. Khaki pants purchases were most likely on the rise in Ann Arbor. This. Was. The. Day! Hello, 2011!
And then, Ezekiel Elliott was handed the ball. Again and Again. And then, J.T. Barrett took a turn running the ball. When the game ended, the duo racked up 353 yards on the ground with five touchdowns, leading the way to a 42-13 bludgeoning.
