It was on the back of a Michigan uniform, number 15, standing with his teammates in a line to prevent Ohio State from celebrating on the middle of the field at the Big House. That was Chase Herbstreit.

Chase is a backup QB for the Wolverines.

His father, Kirk, the ESPN analyst, was once also a Buckeyes standout.
