Michigan defense comes up huge against Ohio State
Michigan stuck to the same script as it did against the Buckeyes a year ago. Ohio State gained 492 yards — 349 of which came through the air. Typically, though, that equates to more points. Michigan stepped up on third and fourth downs, with OSU going just 5-of-17 on those opportunities, and in the red zone, with the Buckeyes settling for 2 field goals inside the 20-yard line.
Michigan tied its season high with 7 pass breakups, including senior nickel Mike Sainristil‘s huge one in the end zone to save a touchdown (Ohio State settled for a field goal).
Ohio State entered the game averaging 6.5 plays of 20-plus yards per game but was held to four such plays in this game, none over 44 yards. Michigan’s defense exemplified the “next-play mentality” to a T, lined back up and made the Buckeyes work for everything they got.
Michigan sealed the game by notching 2-straight interceptions on Ohio State’s final two drives.
