Rapid Reaction: Buckeyes dealt harsh rivalry reminder in second straight loss to Michigan

COLUMBUS — This year was supposed to be different for Ohio State.

After the loss to Michigan in the Big House a year ago, the Buckeyes thought they had corrected their issues. Instead, the Wolverines delivered a harsh reminder that the tide is quickly turning in The Game.

Ohio State took a halftime lead and made it disappear. It squandered countless opportunities on offense and failed to stop the Wolverines offense. No. 3 Michigan blew the game open in the fourth quarter and delivered their second straight double-digit win over Ohio State in the rivalry game.

Where does Ohio State go from here?
