Ohio State didn’t just end a losing streak on Saturday — they reclaimed the rivalry. In a snowy, bruising afternoon in Ann Arbor, the Buckeyes leaned on elite defense, a poised Julian Sayin, and a 20-play soul-stealing drive to beat Michigan 27–9 and finish the regular season 12–0. For the first time since 2019, Gold Pants are coming back to Columbus. For the first time since 2020, Ohio State is heading to the Big Ten Championship Game. And for the first time all season, Buckeye Nation can finally exhale — The Game belongs to the Scarlet & Gray again.
