OSU vs michigan

I thought since this was the big week before the big game, I would do a little history about the rivalry everyday this week. So if you aren't a football fan sorry, but I know that at least 2 people will enjoy this. That being my husband and my brother Adam. So here is a little trivia Jason and Adam, I'll put a new one up everyday this week.

The design of the Ohio State Buckeye leaf was originally drawn in 1950 by alumnus and comic strip artist Milton Caniff and was intended to represent the buckeye tree as a symbol for strength and sturdiness of all Ohio State students. The first Buckeye leaf decal appeared on the helmets of the ________OSU football team and are still given to players today for execution of an exceptional play on the field. What year was the first year that these were worn on the helmets?

The Ohio State University/University of Michigan rivalry in football began with their first game in 1897. UM won that game 34 to 0 and dominated the series until 1919. That year the tables were turned and the Buckeyes won 13 to 3.

The overall record through the rivalry spouts for OSU 38 -- 57-- 6
