In a battle of the unbeatens that lived up to its billing, the Ohio State Buckeyes outlasted the Michigan Wolverines, 42-39, in Columbus, Ohio yesterday and finished their regular season with a perfect 12-0 record. OSU proved to be the better of the top two teams, not only of the Big Ten, but also in the nation, despite a strong performance by the Wolverines under very trying circumstances. The team lost its biggest supporter and longtime coach Bo Schemblecher on Friday after he collapsed outside a TV studio where he was scheduled to tape his weekly TV show. He was rushed to the local hospital where he was pronounced dead.
With USC’s victory over California last night, the debate about who should face the Buckeyes for the national championship game will be hotly debated over the next few weeks. USC still has two more games remaining on its schedule including one against Notre Dame. If they run the table, USC will face OSU. If the Trojans lose one of those two games, look for a rematch between the Wolverines and Buckeyes for the national title.
