Michigan was informed that their head coach had been fired because of…

No. 3 Michigan defeated No. 2 Ohio State 30–24 in one of the most eagerly awaited college football games of the year to book their place in the Big Ten Championship game and possibly even the College Football Playoffs.

Despite leading the Buckeyes to a perfect 11-0 record before Saturday’s game, head coach Ryan Day’s squad has now lost against the Wolverines for three years running.

Michigan jumped out to a 14-10 lead at the half under interim head coach Sherrone Moore, who is still serving a three-game suspension for Jim Harbaugh. Despite not being able to take the lead, the Buckeyes tied the game 17–17 in the third quarter.

Fans of Ohio State were upset that Day could not defeat their Big Ten adversary.

With two touchdowns and 269 yards passing, quarterback Kyle McCord completed 60% of his passes. But he did throw two interceptions. On Ohio State’s last drive of the afternoon, McCord’s costly second goal put an end to the contest.

Marvin Harrison Jr., a talented wide receiver, maintained his amazing season by gaining 118 yards and a touchdown on five grabs.

However, the Buckeyes’ defense was ineffective, giving up a season-high 30 points. Wolverines signal-caller J.J. McCarthy was only ever successfully taken out once.

After losing 11-1, Ohio State will not play in the Big Ten Championship game for the third consecutive year.
