From the Biakabatuka game I remember everyone expecting the Buckeyes to just dominate M. Biakabatuka just wouldn't let that happen. He was so much better than The Heisman winner Eddie George on that day.
The 2 games at MSU are memorable. Perry had so many carries. Carr didn't seem to trust any other aspect of the offense - especially late in the game. The Mike Hart game in 05 had M come in as the underdog. And Hart just back from injury. He didn't disappoint, tearing off his career long run (still being caught from behind) early in the game.
