Michigan has officially broken the Buckeyes and it started on a snowy day in Ann Arbor in 2021. It’s lingered ever since. It’s a failure by this team. A failure by the program. A failure by an era of Buckeye who have spent their entire careers failing to live up to expectations.

At Ohio State, quarterback C.J. Stroud was beloved despite never beating Michigan football. That's in large part due to leading a vaunted offense that was often firing on all cylinders -- even in The Game.
