The final look back at the streak of wins over "That Team Up North" will focus on the 2004 contest. Michigan came into Columbus having clinched The Big Ten and a Rose Bowl shot, while Ohio State was trying to conclude what had been a very mediocre season up until that point.
QB Troy Smith emerged as a true playmaker for Ohio State, confounding Michigan with timely runs (145 yards rushing) and touchdown passes to WRs Anthony Gonzalez and Santonio Holmes. Ted Ginn, Jr. had a punt return for a touchdown, and Ohio State rolled to an easy 37-21 victory.
Some of my memories, as I was at THE GAME for this one? The lovely Mrs. Minnich accompanied me to this contest, and enjoyed herself immensely at the pre-game tailgating. So much so that she contemplated napping on my shoulder during THE GAME.
