After 7 years, Michigan finally takes down Ohio State, 40-34

Denard Robinson accounted for five touchdowns in helping the #17 Michigan Wolverines beat the Ohio State Buckeyes, 40-34 to snap a record seven-game losing streak against them.

Ohio State led twice more in the first half and had a 24-23 advantage at the break. After the Wolverines went ahead 30-24 on Robinson’s 20-yard pass to Martavious Odoms to open the second half, Ohio State pulled within three points early in the fourth and again midway through the fourth quarter.

Michigan (10-2, 6-2 Big Ten) was forced to settle for a six-point lead with 1:59 left on Brendan Gibbons’ career-long 43-yard field goal after two apparent TDs were negated by a video review and then penalties.

U-M ended a drought that lasted more than 2,900 days without a win against the Buckeyes.
