The Wolverines outscored the Buckeyes 28-3 in the second half. GAME RECAP: https://www.10tv.com/article/sports/football/ohio-state-football/live-updates-ohio-state-vs-michigan/530-688ca496-6d2f-4a76-9083-0e306bf81e8e J.J. McCarthy threw three touchdown passes and ran for another score, Donovan Edwards ran for two long fourth-quarter TDs and No. 3 Michigan pulled away for a 45-23 rout of No. 2 Ohio State to keep its national title hopes firmly on track. McCarthy exploited holes in the Buckeyes secondary and helped Michigan capture two straight wins over Ohio State for the first time in over two decades and walk away from Ohio Stadium with a victory for the first time since 2000. THE TAKEAWAY Michigan: McCarthy was the man. Edwards came up big late. And the Wolverines defense backed him up in the second half. The late runs by Edwards sucked the oxygen out of the Horseshoe. Ohio State: Stroud was 31 for 48 for 349 yards and two interceptions, but Ohio State never got a running game going and settled for field goals in the red zone. The Buckeyes had plenty of opportunities but didn't take advantage.
