By: Cooper LedfordThe Ohio State Buckeyes were trying to win the Big Ten outright, while Michigan was trying to be bowl eligible. Ohio State was successful on their part, they won 21-10 and got their 6th strait win over the Maize and Blue. Here is how.
In the first quarter, Forcier fumbled the ball in his own endzone, Cameron Heyward picked it up, it was a touchdown and OSU had a 7-0 lead. Later on Michigan had a great drive going, then on 4th down inside the 10, they tried for a field goal, it was no good and OSU still had a 7-0 lead. That was only until Michigan did get a field goal, in the second quarter, Jason Olesnavage kicked a 46 yarder it was 7-3 Bucks still on top. The Silver Bullets added on when Brandon Saine got a 29 yard rushing touchdown and Ohio State had a 14-3 lead going into the half. Last year at halftime OSU had a 14-7 lead, and won 42-7, but not nearly as high scoring for OSU this year, and not much of a blow out. To start the 3rd quarter scoring, Forcier connected with Vincent Smith for an 18 yard touchdown. The score was 14-10 with 10:05 to go in the 3rd. Forcier had a total of 226 yards, but 4 picks, that's what hurt him. Later on with 4:46 to go in the 3rd Dan "BOOM" Herron caught a 12 yard touchdown pass from Terrelle Pryor for a Buckeye 21-10 lead. Their was no 4th quarter scoring and the Buckeyes win. Rich Rodriguez is now 0-2 vs. Ohio State and Jim Tressel is now 8-1 vs. Michigan. For the 2nd strait year, the Wolverines will not go to a Bowl game. Ohio State's next game in on New Years Day, in the Rose Bowl (opponent TBA). Until then, GO BUCKS!
