ANN ARBOR, Mich — The last time Michigan has defeated Ohio State was back in 2011.

That losing streak is finally over.

There was plenty at stake going into this game between two top-five teams, and the first half lived up to all the hype. The Wolverines went right down the field on the opening drive for a touchdown and then forced the Buckeyes to go three-and-out. The next drive looked to be going well for the maize and blue, but Cade McNamara threw an unwise pass into tripled coverage for an interception in the red zone. The rest of the game was back-and-forth between the two teams, and the Wolverines led at halftime, 14-13.

The second half belonged to Michigan. The Wolverines out-paced the Buckeyes, 28-14, in the second half.

The Wolverines leaned on their ground game and defense on its way to defeating Ohio State, 42-27.
