The No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes earned a 27-9 win over the No. 15 Michigan Wolverines in a Week 14 Big Ten game. Here are the highlights.

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.

The Ohio State Buckeyes defeated the Michigan Wolverines at the end of November to end a four-game losing streak against the Wolverines. That 27-9 win over Michigan was one that Ryan Day and the program really needed.

Prior to the game, Michigan alum and Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy made a Big Noon Kickoff bet with former Ohio State coach Urban Meyer that led to playful smack talk and plenty of speculation and hearsay between the two analysts.

Ohio State football has spent much of the 21st century dominating its rivalry vs. Michigan. With the Jim Harbaugh/Sherrone Moore era done, will the Buckeyes regain control of The Game?

Meyer issued a two-word response to the idea of him becoming Michigan's new coach. This should come as no surprise to Wolverines or Buckeyes fans. Meyer still loves Ohio State. He knows what going to the other side of the rivalry would do to his legacy.

Former Ohio State coach Urban Meyer claimed that the Barstool boss — and Michigan alum — has yet to cough up his $1,000 bet after the Buckeyes trounced the Wolverines on Nov. 29. “Portnoy still owes me 1,000 bucks, I know that,” Meyer said during his “Triple Option” podcast with Fox Sports co-hosts Rob Stone and Mark Ingram.
