What’s being said nationally after Michigan’s third straight win over Ohio State

Saturday’s Michigan vs. Ohio State game arguably had the highest stakes in the history of the rivalry.

Wolverines safety Rod Moore put a stake in the Buckeyes with an interception in the final minute at Michigan Stadium, clinching a 30-24 victory. No. 3 Michigan (12-0, 9-0) extended its win streak to three games over OSU (11-1, 8-1) and punched its ticket to next week’s Big Ten title game against Iowa without head coach Jim Harbaugh on the sidelines.

Meanwhile, Ryan Day falls to 1-3 against Michigan as rumors swirl about his future in Columbus.

Despite the outside distractions that have consumed the Michigan program, the team keeps humming along and can secure another berth in the College Football Playoff with a win in Indianapolis next week.

The Athletic’s Chris Vaninni posted: “Michigan opened with two 3-and-outs and then scored on six of seven drives the rest of the way. Sherrone Moore: good coach”

NBC Sports college football insider Nicole Auerbach posted: “Kyle McCord threw two interceptions in the biggest game of his career. Ryan Day made a few questionable and conservative calls, while Wolverines acting head coach Sherrone Moore was pitch-perfect. And Ohio State loses to Michigan for the third straight year.”

FOX Sports’ Skip Bayless posted: “Congrats, Michigan. What a clock-killing drive for the 30-24 FG. Buckeyes battled but in the end JJMcCarthy is just better than Kyle McCord. As soon as Harbaugh got suspended, I predicted Michigan would be inspired to win the national championship. Here they come, like it or not.”

ESPN’s Heather Dinrich posted: “Michigan interim coach Sherrone Moore won the chess match against both Ryan Day and James Franklin this season.”

Former OSU running back Maurice Clarett posted: “Ryan Day.... Love you bro but gotta go. This is why you’re paid millions. Cant get paid 9′ms and lose 3 straight.”

Action Network reporter Darren Rovell posted: “Michigan and Harbaugh in the National Championship game is the perfect scenario. What a twisted and beautiful story.”

Jeff Riger, sports radio host for 97.1 The Ticket, posted : “Ryan Day got everything he could have ever wanted...

-Michigan shamed for cheating.

-Multiple staffers and coaches fired/resigned.

-Jim Harbaugh suspended for 3 games. And he still lost to the Wolverines. For a 3rd straight time! Michigan broke Ryan Day!”

Kyle Bogenschutz posted: “Ryan Day got out coached by Sherrone Moore and is a HUGE reason why Michigan won that game over Ohio State. Big time validation of the last three years for Wolverines today.”

Ben Axelrod posted : “I just don’t understand what the defense of Ryan Day is now. He doesn’t beat Michigan, he doesn’t win Big Ten titles and he doesn’t win national titles. His overall record?”
