Recap

Ohio State's high-powered passing attack, led by Dwayne Haskins and a receiving corps featuring K.J. Hill, Chris Olave, and Parris Campbell, proved too much for Michigan to handle in this 62-39 belt defense. The Buckeyes established early momentum with back-to-back touchdown passes to Olave in the first quarter and second quarter, while Michigan kept it close with Jake Moody field goals and a late first-half touchdown to Nico Collins. Ohio State pulled away in the second half with a pair of field goals and a Mike Weber rushing touchdown, then put the game out of reach with Parris Campbell's 78-yard rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter. Michigan scored late touchdowns to Ben Mason and Nico Collins but never could close the gap, as the Buckeyes' balanced offensive attack and superior execution in the passing game secured the belt.

Chris Olave's two touchdown catches (Q1 and Q2) established early Ohio State dominance in the passing game
Parris Campbell's 78-yard rushing touchdown in Q4 extended Ohio State's lead to insurmountable levels
Michigan's two turnovers compared to Ohio State's one prevented them from mounting a serious comeback despite their time-of-possession advantage
