If it weren’t for Michigan’s Defensive Coordinator Greg Mattison and the defense itself, Michigan would have lost far worse than 26-21 to Ohio State. The offense went into a super-conservative shell in the second half and became their own worst enemy; failing to cross the 50-yard line. Mattison and the defense amped up their play and bailed out Michigan with turnovers and goalline stands that held Ohio State to 6 points. Unfortunately for Michigan it still wasn’t enough to pull out the win.
