FULL BOX SCORE

It's a rivalry that dates back to 1897. It's known simply as "The Game" And for the fourth straight season, the Michigan Wolverines have won "The Game".

The Wolverines survived a furious 4th quarter Ohio State comeback attempt, to prevail 42-35. Trailing by that score, the Buckeyes drove down the field, but Makari Paige intercepted a Will Howard pass in the endzone, thwarting the comeback.

Michigan jumped out to a 28-7 lead with just over 2 minutes left in the first half. But the Buckeyes got a quick touchdown, then got the ball back on an interception on the first play of Michigan's ensuing possession. Another touchdown, and the lead was cut to 28-21 at halftime.

A Kalel Mullings touchdown run late in the third quarter put the Wolverines up 35-21. But the Buckeyes scored early in the 4th, to cut the lead back down to 7. Michigan went back up by 14 on a Marlin Klein 12 yard touchdown reception with 7:59 left in the game. But Ohio State cut the lead back to 7 with 3:30 left. Following a missed field goal, the Buckeyes got the ball back, and marched down the field, before Paige's interception.

Michigan finished the game with 571 total yards of offense, including 190 yards on 21 carries from Heisman candidate Donovan Edwards, who left the game several times with an apparent chest injury. QB Alex Orji threw for 323 yards, and a pair of touchdowns. Will Howared threw 4 touchdown passes for the Buckeyes. Ohio State only managed 38 yards on the ground.

With the win, the Wolverines finish the regular season undefeated, 12-0, 9-0 in the Big Ten. They will head to the Big Ten Championship game against the Oregon Ducks in two weeks (Devember 14th). Michigan beat Oregon 24-11 at home earlier in the season. Both the Wolverines, and the Ducks are likely headed to the College Football Playoff, but the winner will get one of the four first round byes.
