Michigan is winning the game and the field position battle early on, as the Buckeyes will start their next possession at their own 15.
With 1:14 remaining in the first quarter, Michigan still leads 7-0.
Chris Evans has had the hot-hand early on, and that continued when he put the offense in good position with a six-yard gain on first down from the 38. Evans was stopped for no gain on second down, but he took a swing pass in the backfield on third down that went for a first down near midfield. Michigan got the ball into OSU territory, but they came up three yards short of the first down and were forced to punt.
