It actually wasn't even that great of a game. Michigan scored first, but then Ohio State never trailed again. Just because the final score was close doesn't mean it was good or classic.
What are you talking about? 28-14 at half, 35-24(only 9 point lead now) in the third and and a final of 39-42. Maybe you simply did not care for either team but I was on the edge of my seat, hoped for a better final but they fought hard the whole game to make up the deficit.
