Saturday’s atmosphere at The Big House should be electric and similar to what we saw during Michigan’s 42-27 win over the Buckeyes in 2021.
“Michigan has won 21 straight home games overall, the program’s longest streak since 1969-1973 and the third longest in program history. The last home loss with fans in the stands came against Ohio State in 2019. Obviously, they dropped a few in the 2020 year at The Big House. But I want to start there with the home crowd, with the environment that we’re going to get. I asked J.J. McCarthy about that on Monday and he said it was “cinema” two years ago, the 2021 game. It was a “movie.” And sometimes I’ve jokingly used that term. ‘Tonight was a movie’ or ‘last night was a movie.’ That was a movie scene type of deal in 2021. The field storming, the snow falling. It was magical. J.J. used that word, as well. And you would expect with everything that’s gone on and the fact that the stakes are high in and of themselves that it’s going to be very similar and a pretty revved up crowd on Saturday.”

“That day felt different. And it did feel like … a lot of the cliches are often so overused. But that was, when I think of cinematic college football rivalry Saturday, that one between Michigan and Ohio State is very clearly in my brain.
“I know the Ann Arbor crowd catches a lot of heat sometimes. It’s not quite like going into the lion’s den of a lot of other places in the Big Ten. That’s how it’s been. But that day, it was, and I feel like Saturday it will be too.”
Official kickoff time for Michigan and Ohio State is 12:14 p.m. ET on FOX, with Gus Johnson and Joel Klatt on the call and Jenny Taft reporting from the sideline. Barstool, Fox and ESPN will all host their game-day shows from Ann Arbor, showing that the town is the epicenter for college football on the final week of this regular season.
