It appeared as though Ohio State had finally found an offensive game plan that worked on its final drive of the first half against Michigan.
While Ohio State has consistently huddled in between plays all season, the Buckeyes went to a no-huddle offense out of necessity after getting the ball back with just 2:15 to play before halftime. Needing to move the ball down the field quickly, Ohio State threw the ball on nine out of 10 plays, with Will Howard completing six of those passes for 58 yards, including a 10-yard touchdown pass to Jeremiah Smith, while also drawing a 15-yard pass interference penalty on another throw to Smith.
