"I'm tremendously disappointed in our offense. 1996 Michigan Wolverines Head Coach: Lloyd Carr (2nd season) Scoreboard. "Ask me in a week and I might feel differently.
"Credit that to linebackers Jarrett Irons and Sam Sword, whose respective 16- and 13-tackle efforts held OSU tailback Pepe Pearson to 10 yards on eight second-half carries.Credit also the Wolverines' resolve in the face of back-to-back losses to Purdue and Penn State, teams Ohio State dismissed by 29 and 31 points.

"It's a disappointment and almost a failure," senior captain Greg Bellisari said of the season. "It was a player's game, like most of these Ohio State-Michigan games are," Michigan coach Lloyd Carr said. "They got the momentum," Cooper said. Ohio State quarterback Joe Germaine, left, is sacked by Michigan defender James Hall, ending a drive during the third quarter of Michigan's 13-9 upset victory over second-ranked Ohio State at Ohio Stadium in Columbus on Nov. 23, 1996.COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 23 -- It throbbed like no pain previously felt this season or any season in the last decade, and the degree of discomfort was easy to explain.Ohio State's 13-9 defeat against Michigan yesterday in Ohio Stadium wasn't just a seventh loss to the Wolverines since John Cooper became the Buckeyes' head coach, it was those six earlier failures compressed into one colossal heartbreak.The Wolverines, who scripted a stunning end to OSU's unbeaten season and national championship aspirations, might have lent fresh names to the story.But everything they did to mock a 17-point underdog status and wilt Ohio State's Rose Bowl trip has been done before.Was that backup quarterback Brian Griese who came off the bench to direct a comeback from a 9-0 halftime deficit, or was he a reincarnation of backup cornerback Todd Plate, whose two interceptions made the difference against OSU in 1989?Was that a new Michigan defense that allowed no touchdowns, or the same one that shut out the Buckeyes in 1993?Was that Chris Howard ramming for 105 rushing yards, or a clone of Tshimanga Biakabutuka's 313 last season?Was that Tai Streets speeding 68 yards with a third-quarter touchdown pass, or a flashback to Desmond Howard and John Kolesar killing the Buckeyes with big plays in 1991 and 1988?Finally, was that Remy Hamilton with the go-ahead 44-yard field goal and clinching 39-yarder, or J.D.

Unlike '95 when Ohio State's loss to Michigan allowed Northwestern to represent the Big Ten in the Rose Bowl, the Buckeyes still were earmarked for a trip to Pasadena to face Arizona State in 1996. "The Michigan rushing game, toothless before, began to roll.It accounted for all but 2 yards of a 51-yard drive that ended with Hamilton's go-ahead field goal on the final play of the third period.OSU had chances to respond and several breaks to boost those opportunities.A penalty on Michigan wiped away David Boston's fumble on a punt return at midfield, but the Buckeyes could not capitalize and punted after reaching the Wolverines' 43.Michigan's Russell Shaw dropped a pass to force another punt that gave OSU the ball at the Wolverines' 45.
