A costly penalty on OSU's defense leads to a Michigan touchdown | Score: Michigan 31, Ohio State 20On third and 10 from the Ohio State 13, the Buckeyes had a chance to force a field goal, but a big penalty paved the way to more for the Wolverines.
J.J. McCarthy, facing pressure from multiple OSU players, lofted a desperation pass toward the back of the end zone. It sailed long ... right as Buckeyes defensive back Ronnie Hickman ran into Michigan's Ronnie Bell. The resulting pass interference call put the ball at the 2-yard line.
On the next third down, McCarthy scored his fourth touchdown of the day, the first of the rushing variety.
Ohio State's Gee Scott takes costly penaltyOSU had its best field position of the day, taking over at the Michigan 48, but after a play where OSU took a holding penalty Gee Scott got into it with one of the Wolverines. And because it happened after the play was over, it was also enforced. Later in that possession, OSU was called for an illegal snap. Almost needless to say, Ohio State ended the drive with a punt, a disgruntled C.J. Stroud lingering on the field while coach Ryan Day sent out his specialists.
UM quarterback J.J. McCarthy throws another long TD pass | Score: Michigan 24, Ohio State 20Michigan has their second lead of the day thanks to a third long TD pass by J.J. McCarthy.

Another big play for J.J. McCarthy | Score: Michigan 17, Ohio State 13On their second consecutive possession, Michigan has utilized a long pass from J.J. McCarthy to Cornelius Johnson to score. On this series, Johnson simply sprinted past the Buckeyes' defense 70 yards into the end zone. Cam Martinez was the closest Ohio State player, and there were a few yards separating him and the Wolverines receiver.
Noah Ruggles matches his OSU-long | Score: Ohio State 13, Michigan 10After two unsuccessful drives, one that resulted in OSU turning the ball over on downs, the other in a punt, the Buckeyes have retaken the lead. That's thanks to kicker Noah Ruggles, who matched the longest effort of his Ohio State career with a 47-yard field goal.
| UM ties Ohio State on J.J. McCarthy TD pass, Blake Corum sitting out | Score: Ohio State 10, Michigan 10Quarterback J.J. McCarthy, facing pressure, was able to escape and find Cornelius Johnson in front of Cameron Brown. Jack Sawyer came up short of making a diving tackle and Cornelius Johnson was able to sprint 69 yards for a touchdown.
It was a three-play 70-yard drive for UM.
And it's notable that it happened without running back Blake Corum. The Michigan running back played early, registering two carries for 6 yards, but appears to have since been sidelined by the knee injury that kept him out most of the second half against Illinois.
