Michigan stayed undefeated on Saturday with a win vs. rivals Ohio State, as the Wolverines won 30-24 to keep their Playoff dreams alive and well.

With Sherrone Moore acting as head coach in place of the suspended Jim Harbaugh, No. 3 Michigan never trailed and took a 14-10 lead into halftime.

From there, No. 2 Ohio State fought back as they tied the game at 17 with 5:35 remaining in the third quarter, but that's the closest the Buckeyes would get.

Less than four minutes later, Blake Corum ran for a 22-yard touchdown to restore a seven-point lead for the hosts - who were able to hang on the rest of the way.

Ohio State had one final chance to score with a minute remaining, and got down to Michigan's 37-yard-line after starting at their own 17.

With the win, Michigan improved to 12-0 while Ohio State suffered their first loss of the season and fell to 11-1.

The Wolverines will face Iowa in the Big Ten Championship next week.

Ohio State, meanwhile, are expected to drop in the rankings and will face an anxious wait to see if they sneak into the Playoff.
