New heroes emerge for Ohio State in each meeting with rival Michigan, which invariably begins with some optimism surrounding the Wolverines' chances before a deluge of OSU touchdowns reveals the expansive and expanding gap separating the two programs.
This time it was junior running back J.K. Dobbins, who ran for 211 yards on 31 carries to go with four scores, and sophomore quarterback Justin Fields, who may have secured his seat as a Heisman Trophy finalist after throwing for 302 yards and four touchdowns.
The end result was strikingly similar to last season's outburst: Ohio State's 56-27 win came on 577 yards on offense on 7.
