The dream is dead. Leave it alone guys. Ryan Day single-handedly made OSU have one of the best seasons this year but also one of the worst endings of this year. You call this the team that is supposed to win the national championship? Boy, oh boy, is it a bad day to be an OSU fan. Losing 13-10 to a washed-up Michigan team had to be the worst thing on your resume. With this loss, Ryan Day has managed to secure one thing; The Hoosiers game for the Buckeyes is their national championship game. Whatever comes after that is just a joke. While Jim Harbaugh has left Sherrone Moore to fend for himself, it’s good to see that his children are still here to take Michigan’s side.
Back on his Instagram story, James Harbaugh, Jim’s son, took a jab at OSU. James shared a clip with the caption; “Ohio State players fighting after they lose… Where was that during the game?” Well, he ain’t wrong. During the entire showdown, Day’s offense had nothing on the Michigan defensive line. But somehow, they have the energy to brawl. Wild. Keep in mind that going into this rivalry game, Moore was severely handicapped.

Michigan didn’t even have Colston Loveland on the turf because of his injury. This alone makes the entire Michigan run game invalid as Davis Warner has no one to connect with. And yet the Wolverines managed to bring in 172 rushing yards against a team that has been doing quite well on the defense.
Even Jim’s daughter had taken to her Instagram story early on to shout out the Wolverines, and it looks like it paid off well. Not only does this loss bring OSU down from their 2nd spot in the CFP, but it also shatters Day’s hope of playing in the Big 10 title game.
If Hoosiers or Penn State win their games today, there is no shot OSU is making it. But let’s skip past that and talk about something serious. While whatever James said is all fun and games, this entire fight thing is not a good look for Michigan football.

Are OSU players in the wrong or did Michigan mess up?
The entire “brawl” broke out in the first place because Derrick Moore from the Wolverines thought it would be an amazing idea to plant the Michigan flag on the OSU field. Yeah, any person with an above-average IQ can guess that this is not a good move.
This entire thing caused a massive fight to break out on the gridiron. Kind of reminiscent of the entire fight that happened during the Michigan v Michigan State game. But here is the thing; the outcome will not be good.

There is a high chance Moore could face a suspension or other players can also face one as well. The police got involved last time. We still gotta wait and see what decision the Big 10 decides to take for this entire debacle.
