For the 10th time in 12 games this season, Ohio State was able to take its starters out of the game early.
The Buckeyes had their backups on the field at the end of the fourth quarter yet again on Saturday as they rolled to a 56-27 win over Michigan, their second straight lopsided win over the Wolverines and eighth straight overall win in the rivalry game.
Ohio State didn’t need anyone to play every snap on either offense or defense this week – though the starting offensive linemen and several defensive players came close – and the Buckeyes played eight more total players than they did against Penn State.
