Michigan beats Ohio State: Tom Brady, others react to wild finish

Updated Nov. 25, 2023 5:18 p.m. ET

With no Jim Harbaugh and amid the Connor Stalions sign-stealing scandal, Michigan beat Ohio State for the third straight year in The Game, punching its ticket back to the Big Ten championship game and, likely, the College Football Playoff.

Rod Moore's game-clinching interception of Kyle McCord in the 30-24 victory not only sent the home crowd in a packed Michigan Stadium into a frenzy, but also excited Michigan fans and alumni across social media as the Wolverines celebrated another victory against the hated Buckeyes.

Neutral observers, meanwhile, all agreed that the 2023 edition of The Game is one that will be remembered for a long time to come.

And as another sea of maize and blue descended on the field in Ann Arbor to provide another scene of pure college football joy, the sports world weighed in — yes, including one very special Michigan alum.
