JJ McCarthy, Connor Stalions, others react to Michigan Football defeating Ohio State

Michigan did it again, the Wolverines defeated their arch-rival, Ohio State. It was a defensive battle but Michigan prevailed, 13-10. The maize and blue were down two stars in Colston Loveland and Will Johnson, but the Michigan Wolverines still came out on top. It was largely due to being the more physical team along with having Dominic Zvada as a kicker. Zvada nailed two clutch kicks while Ohio State missed a pair itself.
Both Michigan lines were dominating on the day. The Wolverines' O-line carved holes for the ball carries and the Michigan D-line didn't allow Ohio State to run the football as it wanted to. Will Howard threw a pair of picks after facing pressure from the Wolverines' front.
Following the game, social media went nuts. Here are some of the reactions.
Gosh I love my annual Thanksgiving weekend traditions! 😁

Hi Tate, they sure went for 3 quite a bit. At least they stuck to the game-plan 🤷🏻♂️ https://t.co/VhnxgHTdNu

That has to be it for Day. His record is indicative of the problem you have -- most talented team in America annually who chokes in its biggest spot annually
Plant the flag. This team stinks. The worst Michigan team in half a decade and the best team you’ve had since 2014. BUH BYE.

Ohio State is the most overrated program of the 2000s.
