What an experience for the young man who got his first collegiate interception that day, and did not get another pick since.
1. Nov. 18, 2006, in Columbus – #1 Ohio State 42 #2 Michigan 39
The pre-game hype was almost stifling, with the week beginning as the ABC/ESPN countdown to kickoff clock started. Then, Bo Schembechler died. Both the Bucks and the Wolverines mourned.
Saturday finally came as Heinegate was shoulder-to-shoulder and knee-to-knee, undoubtedly the Woodstock of the football world. My buddy Ross gave me his extra ticket so I could witness in awe arguably one of the best games in college football history.
The Buckeyes took the first-half lead. Michigan, with the apparition of Bo on the sidelines, rallied back to go ahead late in the fourth. However, after a turnover, Troy Smith drove the Bucks inside the red zone.
Inexplicably, a linebacker was in coverage on Ohio State wideout Brian Robiskie. I saw it, then Troy saw it, and Brian caught the pass, tiptoeing just inside the front corner for the game.
There you have it. Let me know how I did.
