Round 2 of the Ten Year War. The Buckeyes were still coping with a crushing loss to the Wolverines from the year before in a game that tipped off the war itself. This game was also extremely important to the history and legacy of the Ten Year War because, without an OSU victory, it is possible that the series could have been too much of a one-sided affair to be called a "war." Fortunately, at least for the sake of this tremendous piece of history, the Buckeyes picked up their first win in the Ten Year War, though it wasn't so fortunate for Michigan fans.Background:
The rivalry was really kicked into gear heading into the 1970 season because of the huge upset the Wolverines were able to pull off the previous year against OSU. This was a Wolverine team that went into the 1970 season with a lot of hype under 2nd year coach Bo Schembechler. Michigan simply dominated their opponents all the way up to their November 21st meeting with the Buckeyes, outscoring opponents 279-70.
