1950 Snow Bowl Game - Michigan at Ohio State

Old Man Winter struck Columbus on November 25, 1950, when the Wolverines came calling to renew their rivalry with the Buckeyes. The Buckeyes and Wolverines played during the worst blizzard to hit central Ohio in 37 years. With more than 20 inches of snow and wind gusts of more than 20 mph, the teams combined to punt 45 times. Michigan won despite not picking up a first down as they scored on a safety and blocked punt for a TD to win. The final score was Michigan 9-3. In 2019, ESPN ranked it as the 111th Greatest College Game ever.
