No. 3 Michigan is a win away from a second straight Big Ten title and College Football Playoff appearance after its offense ripped apart No. 2 Ohio State’s defense in a 45-23 win in Columbus on Saturday.
Michigan scored TDs of 45, 69, 75, and 85 yards on Saturday as Ohio State’s strategy of playing man defense against Michigan receivers backfired at the most inopportune times. That man coverage strategy was even exploited by Michigan’s run game when Donovan Edwards scored on a 75-yard TD run with just over six minutes remaining to put the Wolverines up 15 and essentially put the game away.
