In a hard-fought game between Michigan and Ohio State, both teams are currently locked in a 10-10 tie entering the second half. Key turnovers and missed scoring chances have defined the matchup, keeping fans on edge.

The first half saw Ohio State quarterback Will Howard connect with wide receiver Jeremiah Smith for a crucial 10-yard touchdown, effectively tying the game just before halftime. However, Ohio State's efforts to seize full control have been hampered by mistakes, including an interception by Howard deep in his own territory. This misstep allowed Michigan to capitalize on a short field, leading to a 2-yard rushing touchdown.

Michigan had its own struggles, particularly with its passing offense. Quarterback Davis Warren threw a critical interception under pressure, which landed squarely in the hands of Ohio State's Caleb Downs. This turnover gave the Buckeyes excellent field position. Nonetheless, Wolverines' defense, led by Makari Paige who also picked off Howard in the red zone, managed to stymie Ohio State's advances.

Ohio State began the second half with the ball, but a mishandled kickoff return by TreVeyon Henderson pinned them deep in their territory. Despite these setbacks, Ohio State managed a 56-yard drive on their next possession, only to see it stall with a dangerous pass by Howard almost resulting in another interception.

Michigan's kicking game provided a brief highlight when Dominic Zvada nailed a massive 54-yard field goal just before the half, giving Michigan a temporary lead. However, Ohio State's defense responded, forcing consecutive three-and-outs and putting pressure on Michigan's offense.

Throughout the game, both teams have shown moments of brilliance and lapses in execution. With the game hanging in the balance, the second half promises an intense finish where each team will need to minimize mistakes in order to come out on top.
