Who would have thought a Jim Harbaugh led Michigan Wolverines Team that came in 10-1 and rolling with that defense would be out of the game early 3rd frame. To make matters worse Harbaugh moves to 0-4 vs the Buckeyes as the first Michigan Coach to do so which has that Michigan Alum nit too happy.
Michigan's "D" couldn't get to Buckeyes QB Dwayne Haskins as he was clean all Saturday long to the tune of 19 for 30 for 318 yards and 5 TDs and no INTs...zero! Buckeyes WR #21 Parris Campbell (5 grabs 114 yds TD/1 rush 78 yds TD) was a man possessed. It was cleaner in the pocket today then he was in practice all week that's how clean he and the pocket was.
In a game of this magnitude Michigan shot themselves in the dawgs by scoring two FGs driving deep in Buckeyes Territory. Ohio State scored on its first drive like going through a $3 car wash with wax and spot-free rinse and that in a nutshell was going to be then narrative in this one.

Throw in a R.P.O rushing attack led by both RBs Mike Weber ( 10 totes 57 yds TD) and J.K. Dobbins (12 totes 46 yards) and Haskins (6 totes 32 yards) calling his own number or occasionally getting out of the pocket to move the chains that Buckeyes O-Line dominated. I didn't hear once Michigan's All-American Rashan Gary or Chase Winovich as #GoBlue All-American ILB Devin Bush was injured in the 3rd (Thigh Bruise) and didn't return.
That Wolverines Offense was solid in the first half as QB Shea Patterson (20 for 34 187 yds 3 TD INT) was solid and when he needed a TE or WR to make a play for him they didn't. Wolverines #1 RB Karan Higdon rushed for 72 yards on fifteen carries but was a non-factor as Michigan got behind further and further and they were forced to go vertical passing game every snap. #GoBlue WR2 Nico Collins scored twice as he had four grabs for 91 yards. UM's go-to WR1 Donovan Peoples-Jones caught seven pigskins for 64 yards but again not a factor in this on a Peoples-Jones couldn't even get going in the punt return game.
The Ohio State Buckeyes Defense came to play and shut down Michigan for the most part. Wolverines QB Patterson would tell you not much time to throw and when things broke down no lanes to run.
Haskins sets a Big Ten Records or TD in a season with 40 passing Brees (39). What happens from here well the Buckeyes have no shot to move into that Top 4. Meanwhile the Wolverines along with Buckeyes will still play a New Years Day game one would think.
Ohio State gets the Northwestern Wildcats in Indianapolis, IN in December for the 2k18 Big 10 Championship Game and if the Buckeyes take care of that business they could sneak into that Top 4 in College Football Playoff....
