- The Wolverines ended the Buckeyes' 29-game home Big Ten winning streak which dated to the 2015 season.
- The Wolverines outscored Ohio State 28-3 in the second half and out-rushed the Buckeyes 242-19 after posting just 10 yards on the ground in the first half.
- In total, Michigan earned 530 yards of offense on the day -- 278 passing, 252 rushing -- and boasted five scoring plays of 45 yards or more.
Michigan's first points of the day came from a 49-yard field goal by kicker Jake Moody. It was the 15th made field goal of Moody's career from beyond 40 yards, and his eighth this season. Both set new U-M career and single-season records.
Donovan Edwards ran for 216 yards on 22 carries (9.8 ypc) and 2 touchdowns.
207 of those yards came in the second half.
Cornelius Johnson had TD receptions of 69 and 75 yards. He leads the team with six touchdown catches on the season.
It was U-M's first game with multiple touchdown passes of 60-plus yards since Western Michigan last year (69 yards, Daylen Baldwin; 76 yards, Ronnie Bell).
Johnson finished the game with 160 receiving yards, the fourth-highest single-game total in rivalry history.
