Ohio State's Ryan Day Has As Many Losses To Michigan As Jim Tressel, Luke Fickell, Urban Meyer Combined

The Buckeyes suffered their second straight loss to the Wolverines and first at home since 2000.

Ohio State suffered its second straight defeat to Michigan on Saturday, a 45-23 loss that dropped head coach Ryan Day’s record against the Wolverines to 1-2.

That’s the same number of losses as former head coaches Jim Tressel, Luke Fickell and Urban Meyer had in 18 combined seasons leading the program. Tressel went 9-1 from 2001-10, Fickell went 0-1 as the Buckeyes’ interim head coach in 2011 and Meyer went 7-0 from 2012-18.

This marked the first time since the 1999 and 2000 seasons that Michigan beat Ohio State in back-to-back games, as well as the Wolverines’ first victory in Columbus since 2000, which was former head coach John Cooper’s final season with the Buckeyes.

Cooper notably went 2-10-1 in 13 seasons at Ohio State, including 28-point losses in 1991 and 1993. Today’s loss, meanwhile, is tied for the worst home loss to Michigan since a 22-0 defeat in 1976.
