I suspect you're right.  There was a graphic during the Michigan game
that Schembechler won all of his homecoming games and I think the
announcers also said they'd won something like 30 straight homecomings.  
(That streak, if it was still active, ended on Saturday.)

I suspect none of those were against Ohio State and precious few were 
against Michigan State, Penn State or Wisconsin.
