(CBS DETROIT) – The Michigan Wolverines (7-5) defeated the No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes (10-2) 13-10 on Saturday afternoon in one of college football’s biggest upsets of the year.

Michigan kicker Dominic Zvada hit a 21-yard field goal with less than a minute to play, breaking the 10-10 tie. The Wolverines’ defense withstood Ohio State’s last-minute scoring drive.

Michigan’s ground game made up for a less than stellar passing attack. Running back Kalel Mullings ran 29 times for 116 yards and had the team’s only touchdown. Alex Orji added he had 32 rushing yards on three carries.

Quarterback Davis Warren completed nine passes for 62 yards and two interceptions. Ohio State quarterback Will Howard was 19 of 33 for 175 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions.

This is the fourth straight game in which Michigan has defeated Ohio State.

This loss was perhaps the toughest of those four defeats for the Buckeyes, as the Wolverines were unranked and capped off a disappointing season. Ohio State was considered the favorite to win, but records rarely mean much when these two teams meet.

Shortly after the game, a Michigan player appeared to carry a team flag toward midfield, followed by dozens of players from both teams pushing and shoving each other.
