Revisiting this one, it's easy to see Cooper's Bucks were ready and really came out and played hard. Wish they could have played this loosely every time one of his teams faced the team up north.
I remember this game...I was a freshman at tOSU...I watched it from my dorm room (in Lincoln Tower) & listened to it via radio. However, one of my suite mates attended the game & brought me back a piece of the turf! O-H!!
Really appreciate watching these now "old School" OSU vids...kinda wondering if you noticed as well the lack of buckeye stickers on the helmets. Thanks and keep up the glorious work! Go Bucks
I went to school with Josh Jackson in the good old Hocking hills. He was a hell of a kicker. I wonder what he is doing these days. I'll never forget the record setting kick vs Zanesville even though we lost 14-13. Go Chieftains!
I was 12 when this game happened, first Ohio State win I ever saw over TTUN. Love how George and Galloway have their uniforms tucked in their pads, won't see that now a days.
Even the national titles, the Tressel years, and the Meyer years have not totally eliminated the pain of those losses. Those teams were arguably the most talented in Ohio State history, but couldn’t close the deal.
Justin Penn true, but Michigan was favored in ‘97. ‘95 and ‘96 were two of the most talented teams ever, but still lost. Our D in ‘97 was beast, though, and they played their guts out that day in Ann Arbor.
@@t6v5c2 they should have won that game. They totally out played Michigan. But hey, as much as I hate to say it. Michigan found a way to win, it's what national champions do.
@@t6v5c2 Coach Cooper did a lot for Ohio State & truly loves this university . But choked on the The Game most years . I still thank him for recruiting some of the best receivers we've ever had .
Seems like the game got softer . You can't hit like they used to . Not talkin about targeting , legal hard ass hits . I could be wrong but watching this it feels like there is more intensity and pad popping , smash mouth .
When Lane Kiffen left Tennessee for USC I thought what a great coach Cooper would have been for Tennessee if he was younger. Cooper was from Tennessee and the people in Columbus never gave him a fair chance because he was an "outsider" and not a Woody deciple.
He had plenty of chances. His record in the mechgan game and in bowls games was absolutely abysmal. His teams were trash until his 6th year with the team.

R.I.P. Corey Stringer
He made me a Vikings fan while he was there. The only time I never chanted who dey when mentioning an other team besides my Bengals.
I was there that day. Fickell's interception sealed this one. Mike Vrable and Luck Fickell were on the same D line.
Don't forget about Matt Finkes, too ... O-H!

You did not have team awards back then like you do now. Plus, it took an outstanding play, and I mean outstanding, to earn one.
Woody started the helmet stickers in 1968.

Anyone else notice the Michigan center getting destroyed on thier first field goal?
HUGE win for OSU, no doubt. But was this Gary Moeller's last game at Michigan? Pretty sure it was.

Zeke liked to show the abs .
I wish OSU gave out the Buckeye stickers more sparingly...just my opinion. Another great vid! Keep up the good work and Go Bucks!
'95 and '96 erased any joy I previously had for this game.
And 97

I think it was pretty widely known that if Cooper didn't win this game he would have been fired.
Probably....but we'll never know. Is Harbaugh now in the same situation as Coop?
9:44 Brent has no idea how right he was with this statement. Cooper should have just stayed home most of the games against scUM.
Michigan fans rewatch these old games regularly because times have certainly changed haven't they. O-H..
ohh the jon cooper era when Michigan dominated the series!!!
Yep, thank God that's over.
6:54 Is THE Ohio State Univeristy's Head Coach.
OSU was not gonna be denied by TTUN that afternoon!
@ 7:52 there's a candidate for the sports machine plays of the month.
This and 1998 cooper beat Michigan…..lost every other time 😭
I bet you Dick Vermeil would be a legend in the college ranks similar to Nick Saban.
@benny coached at ucla
8:29 Now he's an Honor Student in pass rushin'
@hazelwood55 Had he beaten Michigan we would've loved him. 2-11-1 against your rival, losing 3 times when undefeated, just won't get it done.
that dog won't hunt.
2-10-1
Dont give TTUN that much credit.
9:30 Yes, Finally, Jon Cooper is on top... lol ah, but the summer was short.
Only fitting that he fell off the players shoulders like that
@ 4:57 the bucks lead by 9 at recess aka half time.
Copper's only win over Michgan.
@ 2:09 that's a safety.... a safety.
I wish ohio state football still looked like this. Those were the days
Oluseyi Adesulu sorry for dominating you

HAHA really? Cooper gets one of so few wins against Michigan and THEY DROP HIM? lmao GO BLUE
+William K Oh well ol' Blue took a big ass whipping two days ago.
Aaron CMH - it’s been mostly ass whippings the last 20 years
When Lane Kiffen left Tennessee for USC I thought what a great coach Cooper would have been for Tennessee if he was younger. Cooper was from Tennessee and the people in Columbus never gave him a fair chance because he was an "outsider" and not a Woody deciple.
And he lost to Michigan all the time.
@@LardGreystoke He was 2-10=1 against Michigan, as opposed to Harbaugh who is winless.
@@hazelwood55 Yeah and Michigan fans were wanting Harbaugh fired up until the 1 win.
He had plenty of chances. His record in the mechgan game and in bowls games was absolutely abysmal.
His teams were trash until his 6th year with the team.
Michigan football ❤ john cooper as ohio state football coach@@LardGreystoke
