Overview

  • Julian Sayin went 19-for-26 for 233 yards and three touchdowns and Bo Jackson totaled 166 yards as Ohio State snapped Michigan’s four-game run in the rivalry.
  • Michigan mustered 163 total yards and no touchdowns, and head coach Sherrone Moore publicly took responsibility for what he called an awful performance.
  • Ryan Day said he had an inkling the Buckeyes’ sideline headsets might fail, implemented a wristband plan, and funneled calls through Sayin until communications were restored.
  • The outage drew public accusations tying it to Michigan’s recent NCAA penalties, though no evidence has been presented and Day stopped short of making a direct claim.
  • Now 12-0, Ohio State turns to Saturday’s Big Ten Championship against 12-0 Indiana in Indianapolis, a top-two matchup widely viewed as pivotal to securing the CFP’s No. 1 seed.
