Michigan stuns Ohio State 45-23 behind J.J. McCarthy for 1st Columbus win since 2000

COLUMBUS, Ohio −The 2022 Michigan-Ohio State football game will forever be known as the J.J. McCarthy breakout game.

While the sophomore quarterback's talent was tantalizing all year long, he never put it all together at once. Much less on a stage of this magnitude. But it was as if Michigan knew something everybody else didn't.

McCarthy on Saturday threw for three touchdowns, ran for another and Donovan Edwards struck twice for touchdown runs of 75 and 85 in the fourth quarter as the Wolverines mauled the Buckeyes, 45-23, for their first win in Columbus since 2000.
