Ann Arbor – Ohio State asserted itself yet again, running roughshod over Michigan in Jim Harbaugh's first game coaching his alma mater in the 112th version of this rivalry.
Michigan's defense, which showed signs a few weeks ago of being susceptible against the strong running attack, wilted against the Buckeyes rushing attack in a 42-13 loss before 111,829 at Michigan Stadium on Saturday.
The Wolverines, which finish the regular season 9-3, 6-2 Big Ten, could not get its running game going and were held to 57 yards, including five in the second half, in part a function of having to play from a large deficit.
