Michigan Defensive Star Drops Bombshell Opinion on Ohio State’s Bowl Loss

The Michigan Wolverines typically don’t wish success for the Ohio State Buckeyes, but defensive lineman Kris Jenkins was taken aback by the Buckeyes’ lackluster performance in the Cotton Bowl against the Missouri Tigers, resulting in a 14-3 loss. Despite the fierce rivalry, Jenkins expressed disbelief at the team’s subpar display, especially considering their earlier challenge to Michigan for the Big Ten title. Jenkins, although a self-proclaimed hater, admitted that it was tough to watch Ohio State struggle, emphasizing that it wasn’t the same team they faced on November 25. This reaction adds a layer of insult to Ohio State’s disappointing performance, with even a rival player feeling sympathy for them.

It’s essential to note that Ohio State had valid reasons for their poor showing, including several key players opting out, such as Marvin Harrison Jr., and facing challenges with backup quarterback Devin Brown due to injuries. The offensive struggles were evident, managing only 203 total yards.

Looking ahead, Ohio State may face further challenges, especially if the Wolverines, led by Jenkins, succeed in the quest for a national title. The Buckeyes may find themselves reluctantly supporting Alabama in the upcoming semifinal to avoid seeing their rivals claim the championship.
