Live blog: Michigan winning field position battle

The Wolverine defense is doing a nice job of shutting down the high-powered OSU offense early on, but the offense hasn't been able to take advantage of great field position.

After forcing a Buckeye punt, Michigan punted the ball right back, with Kenny Allen pinning OSU at its own 4. That's Allen's third downed punt inside the 10.

With 11:03 left to play before the half, the Wolverines are still leading, 3-0.

Wolverines get on the board

After the defense forced the Buckeyes to go three and out, the Michigan offense marched down to the OSU 5 before settling for a 27-yard Kenny Allen field goal to give the Wolverines a 3-0 lead with 13:31 to play in the second quarter.
