Wolverines complete undefeated season with 49-21 romp over Buckeyes

A year ago, Michigan finished with a losing record and missed a bowl game for the first time in years. Today, they completed one of the most amazing turnarounds in team history.

The Wolverines broke open a close battle with a 21-point third quarter and finished with a 49-21 win over #1 Ohio State. The win capped an undefeated regular season and earned them the outright Big Ten title and, at the very least, a trip to the Rose Bowl.

Offensive stars abounded for the Wolverines. WR Martavious Odoms returned two punts for touchdowns and added a 33-yard touchdown reception. QB Justin Feagin, thrust into a featured role after freshman James Tepper went down, threw three touchdowns and added a team-leading 90 rushing yards. RB Brandon Minor was stifled early, but he helped ice the game with two late rushing scores.

The Michigan defense also figured heavily in the win. Although Buckeye QB Terrelle Pryor accounted for three touchdowns in total, the Wolverines harrassed him into three interceptions and added four sacks, all from DE Greg Banks. Banks' fourth sack was his 21st of the season, breaking the Michigan record of 20 set last year by Tim Jamison.
