The Game:
No. 8 Ohio State looked to continue its recent dominance of 10th-ranked Michigan in Ann Arbor on Saturday. The Buckeyes have won 10 of the last 11 meetings with the Wolverines, but limp into the 112th edition of ‘The Game’ after a shocking 17-14 loss to fifth-ranked Michigan State, which snapped Ohio State’s 23-game win streak and likely ended its chances of making the College Football Playoff.
The Buckeyes were also forced to quell a firestorm as star running back Ezekiel Elliott criticized the play-calling and declared for the NFL draft immediately after the loss before later apologizing for the timing of his comments. Michigan’s resurgence under first-year head coach Jim Harbaugh continued with a hard-fought 28-16 victory over Penn State to finish undefeated on the road in conference play for the first time since 1997.
