Michigan-Ohio State Game Canceled

UNDATED (AP) – Michigan has canceled its annual football showdown with Ohio State, citing a rising number of COVID-19 cases within the Wolverines program.  Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh said his players were “very disappointed” to not face the third-ranked Buckeyes, who would be heavily favored.  The season-ending grudge match known as “The Game” won’t be played for the first time in 102 years.   With two games already canceled, the Buckeyes under current conference rules still need a sixth game to be eligible to play for a Big Ten championship Dec. 19 in Indianapolis against Northwestern.   Coach Ryan Day said the conference should consider allowing Ohio State to play with only five games.
