No. 1 Ohio State notches eighth straight win over Michigan in 56-27 rout

Ohio State’s dominance over Michigan continues for another year.

The top-ranked Buckeyes marched into Michigan Stadium on Saturday and emerged with a 56-27 victory. With the win, Ohio State capped off a perfect 12-0 regular season heading into the Big Ten championship game next weekend in Indianapolis.

Early on, it looked like Michigan might have a chance to snap its losing streak to the rival Buckeyes, which is now eight games long dating back to 2011. But the Wolverines were doomed by a series of mistakes late in the first half.

With Ohio State leading 21-13 midway through the second quarter, Shea Patterson and the Michigan offense efficiently moved deep into OSU territory.
