Head Football Coaches Sherrone Moore of the Michigan Wolverines and Ryan Day of the Ohio State Buckeyes meet at midfield after a college football game at Michigan Stadium on November 29, 2025 in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The Ohio State Buckeyes won the game 27-9.

Overview

  • Ohio State beat Michigan 27–9 to snap a four-game losing streak in the series and finish a 12–0 regular season.
  • Julian Sayin rebounded from an early interception to go 19-of-26 for 233 yards and three touchdowns, while Bo Jackson totaled 166 yards (117 rushing, 49 receiving).
  • The Buckeyes’ defense suffocated Michigan, allowing just 63 passing yards and 42 rushing yards on 22 carries (1.9 yards per attempt).
  • Ryan Day said Ohio State lost headset communication in the second half and executed a preplanned workaround by having Sayin get play calls on the sideline.
  • Former Michigan lineman Taylor Lewan publicly apologized to Day on the Bussin’ With The Boys podcast after the game, as Ohio State now prepares to face No. 2 Indiana in Indianapolis.
