Michigan and Ohio State are locked in a 14-14 tie at halftime in the Big House.
Redshirt freshman quarterback Brandon Peters did not dress, and fifth-year senior John O'Korn made the start.
Michigan went three-and-out on its first offensive possession, and the defense then forced an OSU three-and-out.
The Wolverines strung together an impressive 13-play, 77-yard drive that ended in a two-yard touchdown run by fifth-year senior fullback Khalid Hill.
The Maize and Blue defense continued playing well, forcing three-and-outs on OSU's next two possessions.
An electric 42-yard punt return by freshman wideout Donovan Peoples-Jones got the ball down to the U-M six-yard line and resulted in a three-yard touchdown pass to sophomore tight end Sean McKeon two plays later, extending the Wolverine lead to 14-0.
Ohio State was finally able to string a drive together, though, and crept into Michigan territory.
Sophomore safety Josh Metellus dropped an interception that hit him right in the chest at the goal line, and the Buckeyes scored on the following play, trimming U-M's lead to 14-7.
OSU scored another touchdown late in the second quarter to tie the game at 14-14, and that's where the teams stood going into halftime.
Michigan outgained Ohio State in the half, 146-117, and held it to just 30 passing yards.
O'Korn, meanwhile has completed nine of his 16 passes for 63 yards and a touchdown.
Neither team has turned the ball over.
