As radio talk show host Michael Savage would say, "It's unbelievable to me!" Ohio State came from behind today to beat Michigan 25-21. The victory gave the Buckeyes at least a share of the Big Ten championship.

I'll be the first to admit that I gave up on the Buckeyes when they were down 21-12 in the fourth quarter. They were behind on the road, and had made a few miscues to help the Wolverines along. And, how many times have we seen the Buckeyes falter on attempts to come from behind late?

But, the Buckeyes did what they needed to do. Major props to quarterback Troy Smith for having the ability and the guts to punch Michigan in the mouth two straight years. Coach Jim Tressel came up with a good offensive game plan, and didn't play things conservatively.

I had been down on this team earlier in the season because it seemed to be underperforming. But, there's something about winning a rivalry game that washes way, at least for the moment, all the bad memories of this season.
