Michigan 16 - 35 Ohio St. (11:18 left in 3d Quarter)

On third and goal, the Buckeyes score on a pass from Fields to K.J. Hill (of N. Little Rock H.S. in Little Rock, Ark.)  I have been extremely disappointed in Michigan.  The Wolverines gave up 62 points to OSU last year, and they appear to have learned nothing in the intervening 12 months.  OSU can name the score.

ESPN gives OSU a 96.9 percent chance of victory.  Unless something major changes, I won't post anything more until this game is over.

Michigan 13 - 28 Ohio St. (13:06 left in 3d Quarter)

OSU is cruising down the field, as usual.  Facing a 2d and 7 at the Michigan 10, Fields can't find anyone open, and he runs out of bounds.  After he goes out of bounds, he is hammered by Michigan linebacker Cameron McGrone (of Lawrence Central H.S. in Indianapolis, Ind.)  Personal foul -- late hit.  Oh, and there was also defensive holding on the same play.  First and goal at the 5.  That's Michigan's day for you.

Michigan 16 - 28 Ohio St. (Halftime)

Quinn Nordin kicks a 23-yd field goal after Peoples-Jones dropped a touchdown pass, and Michigan cuts the lead to 12.

ESPN gives OSU a 90.4 percent chance of victory.  Hard to argue with that.

Michigan 13 - 28 Ohio St. (22 seconds left)

On 3d and goal from the OSU 5, Peoples-Jones appeared to catch another touchdown pass in the back of the end zone.  But a Buckeye slapped at the ball as he caught it, and he could not hang on.  So in case you are keeping track, Michigan has had:

1.  A missed extra point.
2.  A fumble deep in OSU territory
3.  A penalty on 4th and 4 to give OSU a first down
4.  A dropped TD pass in the end zone

It's all adding up.

Michigan 13 - 28 Ohio St. (3:15 left in 2d Quarter)

I thought that this would be a close game.  But I didn't realize that Michigan would make one stupid mistake after another.  In the last few minutes, Michigan fumbled deep in OSU territory, and then jumped offside to give OSU new life when the Buckeyes were about to punt.  Two plays later, J.K. Dobbins scooted into the end zone from five yards out for his third TD of the game.

ESPN now gives OSU a 92.4 percent chance of victory, and it's hard to disagree with that.  You can't give up 28 points in the first half at home and pull too many upsets.

Michigan 13 - 21 Ohio St. (3:29 left in 2d Quarter)

Michigan's defense held, creating a 4th and 4 at the OSU 43.  But then Michigan jumped offside on the punt, giving OSU five free yards and a new first down.

On the new first down, Fields hurled a pass to Garrett Wilson, who makes a diving catch at the Michigan 5.  This game is over.

Michigan 13 - 21 Ohio St. (6:32 left in 2d Quarter)

Michigan drove straight down the field, and soon had a 3d and 9 at the OSU 12.  But then Sean Patterson fumbled the snap, and the ball was recovered by OSU's Robert Landers (of Wayne H.S. in Huber Heights, Ohio).  Landers, a defensive lineman, may be the first Ohioan to touch the ball in this game.  But his play is huge.  The Buckeyes can now put Michigan in a very deep hole.
