On this day in 2005; A thriller in the Big House

It was a thriller in the Big House as Ohio State came into Ann Arbor and squared off against their hated Rivals. The Wolverines led 21-12 in the 4th Quarter. 

Troy Smith connected with Santonio Holmes for a 20 yard Touchdown to cut the deficit to 21-19. Stage was set for a great finish. The Buckeyes were driving down the field and faced a 3rd and 5 in Michigan territory. Troy Smith connected with Wide Receiver Anthony Gonzalez to set up Antonio Pittman's 3 yard Touchdown with 35 seconds left. 

Michigan tryed to rally, but Tyler Ecker was tackled in-bounds at the Ohio State 45 with 5 seconds left and time ran out as the Buckeyes danced on the Block M logo at Mid-field. 

Ohio State would go on to play Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl and Michigan would play Nebraska in the Alamo Bowl to finish their seasons.
