In a back-and-forth second half, the Wolverines got the stop they needed, intercepting Ohio State quarterback Kyle McCord in their own territory with 25 seconds left. 

Michigan was able to go on a physical drive in the fourth quarter while up three, killing the clock and taking a six-point lead before stopping Ohio State on fourth down. Michigan got the ball with 8:05 left in the fourth quarter after an Ohio State touchdown cut the lead to three. A 13-play, seven-minute drive gave the Buckeyes just 1:05 left to get into the endzone.
