Ohio State vs Michigan team news & key players
Ohio State Buckeyes team news
Ohio State, meanwhile, is a single point shy of being the consensus No. 1 team in the nation. The Buckeyes have faced three top-5 opponents, securing wins over Penn State and Indiana while suffering a narrow one-point loss to Oregon. They boast the country’s stingiest scoring defense, surrendering just 10.7 points per game, paired with a dynamic offense that averages 37.8 points per outing, ranking 10th nationally.
Leading the charge for the Buckeyes is quarterback Will Howard, who has passed for 2,685 yards and 26 touchdowns while adding seven scores on the ground. The backfield features a formidable duo in Quinshon Judkins and TreVeyon Henderson, who have combined for 1,489 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns. The receiving corps is equally dangerous, headlined by freshman phenom Jeremiah Smith (52 receptions, 899 yards, 9 TDs) and senior standout Emeka Egbuka (56 catches, 692 yards, 9 TDs), making it a nightmare matchup for opposing secondaries.
Michigan Wolverines team news
Michigan's defense was suffocating, limiting the Wildcats to just 11 rushing yards on 24 carries and 117 yards through the air. Similarly, in their earlier loss to Indiana, the Wolverines allowed only 40 rushing yards on 28 attempts. If Michigan's defense can stifle Ohio State’s third-ranked Big Ten rushing attack (177.5 yards per game), they could keep this contest closer than many expect.
Offensively, Michigan leans heavily on its running game, spearheaded by Kalel Mullings and Donovan Edwards. Mullings has racked up 832 yards and 11 touchdowns on 153 carries, while Edwards has added 578 yards and four scores on 124 attempts. However, inconsistency at quarterback has plagued the Wolverines, with Davis Warren, Alex Orji, and Jack Tuttle combining for just 10 passing touchdowns and 10 interceptions this season.
