Here are some interesting numbers about who leads the overall series starting from various "milestone" years throughout the history of the series:
(the game from the year mentioned is included)
From the beginning (1897): UM 57-43-6
Since OSU's first win (1919): UM 44-43-4
Since the completion of the Horseshoe (1922): UM 44-40-4
Since the completion of the Big House (1927): OSU 40-39-4
Since the tradition of the game being the last regular season game began (1935): OSU 36-34-4
Since OSU's first national title (1942): Tied 32-32-3
Since Woody came to OSU (1951): OSU 31-26-2
Since Bo came to UM (1969): UM 20-19-2
Since Bruce came to OSU (1979): Tied 15-15-1
Since Cooper came to OSU (1988): UM 11-10-1
Since Moeller came to UM (1990): OSU 10-9-1
Since Carr came to UM (1995): OSU 9-6
Since Tressel came to OSU (2001): OSU 8-1
Basically, with the exception of the first 15 games, this series has been pretty much dead even throughout the years.
