The drought is over.
For the first time since 2019, Ohio State’s players will receive Gold Pants for beating Michigan. The Buckeyes ended their four-year losing streak against the Wolverines, completed a 12-0 regular season and punched their ticket to the Big Ten Championship Game with a 27-9 win over their rivals.
Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin threw for 233 yards and three touchdowns in his first game against Michigan, while freshman running back Bo Jackson had 166 yards from scrimmage in his rivalry debut. Ohio State’s defense held Michigan without a touchdown, marking the first time since 2007 that the Wolverines have failed to score a touchdown in The Game.
