ANN ARBOR — Michigan could not make it five straight wins against Ohio State. The Wolverines led 6-0 but got dominated in the second half in Saturday’s 27-9 loss to the top-ranked Buckeyes at Michigan Stadium.

On a defense that includes another linebacker, Arvell Reese, which has gotten all of the NFL draft acclaim, Styles shined. With safety Caleb Downs, defensive tackle Kayden McDonald and a host of other players that are vying for first-round status, Styles has done his job each and every week.

No. 1 Ohio State put a bow on its perfect regular season and snapped a four-game losing streak to No. 15 Michigan with a dominant 27-9 win Saturday. The Buckeyes also secured their first Big Ten Championship Game appearance since 2021 and their first 12-0 record since 2019, coach Ryan Day's first full season leading the program.

Against No. 1-ranked Ohio State, the warts, youth and inexperience all played a factor in a 27-9 loss at Michigan Stadium, a game Michigan only seemed to be in for one quarter.

Julian Sayin threw three touchdown passes, including a 35-yarder to Jeremiah Smith on a fourth down in the second quarter, and No. 1 Ohio State beat No. 15 Michigan 27-9 in a dominant performance.

Ohio State took control to beat Michigan and end the four game losing streak. Here's how Ryan Day reacted in his postgame press conference.

The stickers on Ohio State helmets are earned by players over the course of their careers. They are earned for big plays and consistency on the field. They also are earned for winning non-conference games, conference games or The Game against Michigan (which is worth three stickers). The stickers feature a green buckeye leaf.
