Hassan Haskins sets OSU vs. Michigan record with 5 TDs.

ANN ARBOR, MICH. — Michigan outplayed Ohio State in almost every aspect of The Game on Saturday, a 42-27 Wolverines victory that snapped Ohio State’s eightgame winning streak in the series.

It also stopped the Buckeyes’ string of four consecutive Big Ten championships. The fifth-ranked Wolverines (11-1, 8-1) will play for their first conference title since 2004 next week while No. 2 Ohio State (10-2, 8-1) awaits word of a bowl invitation.

Michigan outgained Ohio State 487-458 and outrushed the Buckeyes 297-64 when taking into account sack yardage.

The pass rush was also tilted heavily in the favor of the Wolverines, who had four sacks and pressured C.J. Stroud on many other plays.

“I put my heart and soul into this game — we all do — and to come up short is not a good feeling,” said Stroud, who completed 34 of 49 passes for 394 yards and two touchdowns.

“Their defensive ends did a good job of rushing up field and getting pressure. I tried to step up in the pocket and help my tackles out and get the ball out on time, but some things just don’t work out. I’m still proud of my O line for battling.”

It all added up to a dominant

Michigan win.

“When you work this game 365 days out of the year and you come up short, it’s a failure,” said Ryan Day, who lost to a Big Ten opponent for the first time as head coach of the Buckeyes. “It hurts. It hurts a lot. We didn’t run the ball very well on offense »
