Ohio State misses field goal as half expires | Michigan 14, Ohio State 10

Michigan converts two fourth downs to set up a touchdown | Michigan 14, Ohio State 3
Roman Wilson threaded Denzel Burke and Malik Hartford and gathered the ball in just before crossing the plane into the end zone on a 22-yard reception. That's what the officials ruled after a review at the 10:22 mark of the second quarter.

Ohio State's Kyle McCord stats:

Ohio State's Jayden Fielding puts Buckeyes on the board | Michigan 7, Ohio State 3
Jayden Fielding was good on a 43-yard field goal with plenty of distance to spare. He narrowed the Wolverines with 2:13 left in the first quarter.
The big play on that series was a nice 24-yard grab by Marvin Harrison Jr. And Cade Stover kept the drive going by breaking up what would have been Kyle McCord's second interception of the game.
McCord has completed four of his first 10 pass attempts.
Blake Corum gives Michigan the opening score | Michigan 7, Ohio State 0
From the 7-yard line, UM handed the ball off to Blake Corum three times. The third carry had to be reviewed before officials eventually ruled that on his second effort, he was stopped just short. On the subsequent fourth-down play, Corum broke into the end zone.
It is Corum's 21st rushing touchdown of the season, and it comes with 5:36 remaining in the first quarter.
Ohio State's Kyle McCord picked off
Will Johnson jumped in front of Marvin Harrison to give Michigan the ball. Johnson's return went 18 yards to the OSU 7.
Yet another punt in the Ohio State-Michigan game
Michigan goes 3-and-out on their ensuing drive, and Steele Chambers is a big reason why. The OSU linebacker already has three tackles today.
Ohio State opts to punt on fourth-and-1
Ohio State managed the game's first down. It came on an 11-yard pass to TreVeyon Henderson. But a few plays later, with the option to go for it on fourth-and-1, OSU coach Ryan Day opts to punt.
Michigan also goes 3-and-out
Like Ohio State, the only traction Michigan got on its opening series was on the run. Blake Corum's 5-yard run accounts for all the Wolverines offense before they also punt.
Ohio State ends opening possession with a punt
OSU's TreVeyon Henderson went 6 yards on two carries. Emeka Egbuka dropped a Kyle McCord pass and then Jesse Mirco punted it 34 yards.
Michigan wins coin toss, Ohio State takes opening kick
The Buckeyes will start at the 25-yard line, and the 119th edition of the rivalry game is underway.
