The 1973 Ohio State vs. Michigan football game was one of the most memorable games in NCAA history. What was at stake? Everything. Bragging rights in college football’s most bitter rivalry of the day. Big Ten title and Rose Bowl bid. National title hopes. The fifth battle of Woody Hayes vs. Bo Schembechler (after four games, they were tied at 2 wins each).
Absolutely, positively everything was on the line in this game.
Both teams were undefeated, with Ohio State ranked #1, and Michigan ranked #4 coming into the game. A then-NCAA record crowd of 105,233 watched the game at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor.
Tensions were high even before the game, with the Ohio State team trying to tear apart the Michigan Wolverines “GO BLUE”-banner as they entered the field. Tensions, and controversy, would rise and be even greater following the game itself. Biographies have been written and documentaries made with this game as a central focus. Here you have the game itself!
