Prior to that, however, the Wolverines had all the bragging rights this decade with four straight victories, including three (2021-23) for a spot in the Big Ten championship game. Michigan has won the past two matchups in Columbus, fueled by a 215-yard performance by Donovan Edwards in 2022 and a stunning defensive performance in 2024, when the Wolverines prevailed, 13-10, as three-touchdown underdogs. Michigan's last loss in Columbus came in 2018, when the Buckeyes hung 62 points on Jim Harbaugh's squad in their seventh consecutive victory in the rivalry.
