Ryan Day expressed disappointment after the Ohio State football team fell to the Michigan team.

Day told reporters that he felt bad. It's a failure. He said he would have to take a hard look at why Michigan was so successful running the ball.

The win by Michigan over Ohio State ended an eight-game losing streak against the Buckeyes, and also ensured a spot in the Big Ten Championship Game, while the Buckeyes fell to 10-2 on the season and likely saw their College Football Playoff chances evaporate.

Michigan dominated Ohio State from 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217

The running back had 169 yards on 28 carries and five rushing touchdown. A.J. Henning had a sixth rushing score for Michigan.

C.J. Stroud played well for Ohio State, but the inability to get the Michigan offense off the field for long stretches made it irrelevant.

Jim Harbaugh's time as Michigan's head coach meant there was a lot of pressure on the team to beat Ohio State.

The chance to play for the Big Ten title and a spot in the CFP was presented to both teams on Saturday.

Ohio State has been a part of the CFP in four of the seven times it has been held, which is the most of any Big Ten team. Michigan State made the playoffs in 2015.

If Michigan beats either Wisconsin or Iowa in the Big Ten Championship Game next Saturday, it will become the third.

OSU will be left out of the CFP for the first time since the beginning of the year.
