* A Dan Herron 98-yard touchdown run is brought back to the 19-yardline because of an iffy holding call on Dane Sanzenbacher. It was still an 89-yard run for Herron and led to a 36-yard field goal to extend the lead to 27 points.

* Terrelle Pryor steps up nicely inside a poor blitz and finds DeVier Posey, who then runs through a wide-open middle of the field for a 33-yard touchdown. Michigan defense now looking like the Michigan defense.
Meanwhile, Denard Robinson has left the game with a pair of dislocated fingers on his left hand. Rich Rodriguez said at halftime that Robinson's status would be assessed in the locker room.
UPDATE: Ohio State 17, Michigan 7
* Jordan Hall, one of the two upbacks with Jaamal Berry as the deep back, takes the kickoff at the 15 and returns it 85 yards for a touchdown. He is mobbed in the end zone, with his high school teammate Terrelle Pryor part of the pile. Jamie Wood gets the last block on the Michigan kicker.
UPDATE: Ohio State 10, Michigan 7, 8:02 left second quarter
* Denard Robinson was very good on that 11-play, 80-yard drive for the Wolverines, the final 1-yard touchdown run set up by a 21-yard Robinson run. Michigan is going to move the ball, and the Buckeyes need to answer now after a nice touchdown drive on their last possession.
UPDATE: Ohio State 10, Michigan 0
* That may have been Terrelle Pryor's best play in his career against Michigan so far, as he retreated back to midfield, about 20 yards behind the line of scrimmage with three Michigan defenders chasing him, escaped to his left and found Taurian Washington along the sideline for a 13-yard gain, setting up a 7-yard touchdown pass to Dane Sanzenbacher.
Michigan is still outgaining Ohio State 133 yards to 132 yards but the Buckeyes have converted their drives while the Wolverines have not.
UPDATE: Ohio State 3, Michigan 0, 14:52 left second quarter
* A 33-yard field goal by Devin Barclay ended a 10-play, 74-yard drive that took 4:01 off the clock. The Buckeyes had gone three plays and out on their first two series.
Ohio State 0, Michigan 0, end of first quarter
