A look back at 7 consecutive wins for Ohio State
Ohio State quarterback Troy Smith jumps for joy at the conclusion of the Buckeyes' 25-21 win over Michigan at Michigan Stadium in 2005. Smith led OSU to a win in 2004, as well, the first in the Buckeyes' current seven-game winning streak.

Total domination by a class program, OSU. The comparison of the two programs is not even close.

05 and 06 were the one's that got away. Carr's punt in the 05 game - 4th and 5 on the OSU 35 with a 12 point lead and a chance to bleed the clock. That call may have been the beginning of the end for him. Crable's "personal foul" on Troy Smith with the game on line in 06 - brutal.

2005 hurt a lot... that Gonzales catch late in the game was a killer

The vest owns Michigan and as long as Rich Rod remains here nothing will change.
