Michigan's offense had its best performance in The Game in 75 years.
The Wolverines were virtually unstoppable on Saturday afternoon, gashing the Buckeye defense for 42 points, marking Michigan's highest-scoring offensive performance against Ohio State since scoring 58 points against the Buckeyes in 1946.

Michigan was particularly dominant in the second half where the Wolverines scored a touchdown on every offensive possession.
Most of Michigan's offensive production came on the ground as the Wolverines gashed the Buckeyes for 297 rushing yards and six touchdowns on 41 rushing attempts – good for 7.2 yards per carry.
The 42 points and 297 rushing yards were the most Ohio State has surrendered all season. The Buckeyes entered the game allowing just 19 points per game and 102.3 rushing yards per game. Just two teams had rushed for more than 200 yards against Ohio State all season – Minnesota and Oregon.
