Michigan running back Karan Higdon is confident enough heading into this weekend’s huge matchup against Ohio State that he was willing to guarantee a victory over the Wolverines’ biggest rival. As you might expect, the Buckeyes seem to disagree.
Ohio State running back Mike Weber posted an obvious response to Higdon on Twitter:

In fairness to Higdon, a reporter asked a question about Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh guaranteeing a victory in Columbus when he was the Wolverines’ quarterback back in 1986. Harbaugh delivered by leading his team to a 26-24 win, and Higdon said with a smile that he is willing to take the same stance as his coach. It’s not as if he went out of his way to promise a win.
While Michigan has looked like the far better team than Ohio State and the Buckeyes were extremely fortunate to win on an overtime play last week, none of that matters in college football’s biggest rivalry. If Michigan can’t beat Ohio State for the first time since 2011, it will likely cost them a spot in the College Football Playoff.
