Another interesting fact.
Going back, there is only 1 coach who did not beat OSU in their first year. Rich Rod. Every other UM coach has beaten OSU in their first game. Conversly, Bennie Oosterbann is the only UM coach to beat MSU in his first year. He's the only coach to beat both MSU and OSU in his first year. All other coaches lost their first game to the Spartans. I still think MSU loses and OSU wins, but it is an interesting trend.
Oosterban beat both MSU and OSU in his first year (9-0 record in 1st year).
Bump beat OSU, but lost to MSU 34-8 (4-5 record in 1st year).
Bo, well, I think we all know he beat OSU, but lost to MSU 23-12 (8-3 in 1st year).
Moeller beat OSU, but lost to MSU 28-27 (9-3 in 1st year).
Lloyd beat OSU, but lost to MSU 28-25 (9-4 in 1st year).
Rich Rod lost to OSU, and lost to MSU 35-21 (3-9 in 1st year).
Hoke beat OSU, but lost to MSU 28-14 (11-2 in 1st year).
