Former Michigan running back Mike Hart can breathe a sigh of relief.

A decade after Hart fell to 0-4 against Ohio State, Michigan offensive lineman Kyle Kalis, a former four-star Ohio State commit from Lakewood St. Edward, fell to 0-5 against the rivals.

LAST FIVE YEARS
YEAR LOCATION WINNER SCORE
2016 COLUMBUS OHIO STATE 30-27 (2 OT)
2015 ANN ARBOR OHIO STATE 42-13
2014 COLUMBUS OHIO STATE 42-28
2013 ANN ARBOR OHIO STATE 42-41
2012 COLUMBUS OHIO STATE 26-21

Kalis isn't the only Wolverine to leave Ann Arbor 0-5 against their biggest rival. But Kalis is the only former Ohio State commit that promised blood on the field.

"There will be blood on the field and it won't be mine. … Quote it. Let them know," he told yahoo.com in January 2012.

Kalis, who decommitted due to the prospect of Tatgate sanctions crippling Ohio State, also predicted we'd see "a handful of guys make that jump that they usually wouldn’t."

He was right about that; only he probably didn't mean Urban Meyer and Kerry Coombs luring key prospects out of the northern state after Michigan fired Brady Hoke.

Compare that to guys like Pat Elflein, who stayed true to the Buckeyes. They just earned their fifth pair of gold pants.
