Top 15 plays: Michigan Football vs Ohio State from 2021-24

Michigan Football has won four in a row over the Ohio State Buckeyes. Now that we’re in the midst of the offseason, let’s relive some of the best plays from this historic run for the Wolverines:

It’s been a glorious 2,000+ days for fans of the Michigan Wolverines , as they have conquered the Ohio State Buckeyes four times in the last four editions of The Game.

This list was originally supposed to be a top-10, but there were so many great options, we decided to stretch it to 15, and we still probably missed some big ones!

Let’s have some fun in the offseason and revisit some of the top plays during this historic run for the maize and blue.

No. 15 – 2021: Blake Corum breaks for 55 yards on a bad ankle

Corum hardly played because of an injury, and Hassan Haskins had five touchdowns, but this run was the longest of the day for the Wolverines.

No. 14 – 2024: Dominic Zvada hits game-winning 21-yarder

Zvada was automatic all year for the Wolverines, and he hit the biggest kick of the 2024 season to win in Columbus.

No. 13 – 2021: David Ojabo halts Ohio State’s late push with third down sack

Ojabo and Aidan Hutchinson combined for four sacks in the win, but this one will always be remembered for Gus Johnson’s “OH-JA-BO!” call.

No. 12 – 2022: Taylor Upshaw’s INT sets the Wolverines up to pull away

Who doesn’t love a big fella interception? Especially with the game on the line!

No. 11 – 2022: Mikey Sainristil saves a touchdown with PBU

A first-year corner giving up six inches and 60 pounds, but makes one of the plays of the game to keep Michigan up by a touchdown.

No. 10 – 2024: Aamir Hall INT sets the tone early

Michigan’s defense needed a big play, and Aamir Hall delivered. This set up Michigan’s only touchdown of the day.

No. 9 – 2022: Cornelius Johnson slips a tackle and sprints for six

Down a score, Michigan needed a big play against a blitz, and Johnson delivered with his first of two long touchdowns.

No. 8 – 2023: Will Johnson jumps Marvin Harrison route to snag INT

A matchup everyone was waiting for, and Will Johnson won a huge battle early.

No. 7 – 2022: Kalel Mullings completes pass to Luke Schoonmaker

No one was expecting this on a third-and-short when it looked like Michigan was going to just run it.

No. 6 – 2023: J.J. McCarthy delivers a dime between two defenders for a TD

An absolute dart from McCarthy to Roman Wilson put the Wolverines up two scores.

No. 5 – 2022: J.J. McCarthy hits Cornelius Johnson for a long TD

People criticized McCarthy’s deep passing all season long, but he came in clutch in that department against the Buckeyes.

No. 4 – 2022: Donovan Edwards rushes for second long TD

My favorite part is that people will ask, “Which one?”

No. 3 – 2023: Blake Corum scores a TD one play after Zak Zinter’s injury

The play that personified the National Championship season. Next man up, brotherhood, victory.

No. 2 – 2022: Michigan regains two-possession lead with 75-yard TD run from Dono

A run that will be remembered for all time.

No. 1 – 2023: Rod Moore’s INT seals the win for Michigan

One of the all-time great plays in Michigan football history.

HM – 2021: Aidan Hutchinson calls out OSU OL and then bulldozes him

• One more just to rub it in. This was the moment Michigan fans knew the rivalry had turned and the Wolverines were the alpha dogs. Hutchinson barrels through veteran offensive lineman Thayer Munford with ease.
