have come in here with a sense of purpose and rudolph goes down and it's bosa and the ball's out and i think ohio state might have this one covered they went to an unbalanced line so this is not a tight end that's mason cole a starting tackle but he's normally the left tackle he lined up as the right tackle and bosa went right around him and got to the quarterback and knocked the ball loose you know it's definitely a mismatch if you put a tight end over joey bosha but you think you might have a chance barrett gets the snap barrett's going to keep it going left side he's to the michigan 15 to the 10 to the five into the end zone jt barrett 17 yard touchdown run taking it the left side his third rushing touchdown of the day jt barrett and ohio state's lead is 41-13 over michigan second to
