Live Updates: Ohio State-Michigan
COLUMBUS — It’s here. The Game. Ohio State and Michigan have been building toward this the whole season, and now the No. 2 Buckeyes and No. 3 Wolverines are meeting as unbeatens for the first time since 2006, or “The Game of the Century.”
A trip to the Big Ten Championship is on the line, and, in all likelihood, so is a spot in the College Football Playoff.

Ohio State pregame updates
Running back TreVeyon Henderson, who left the Maryland game early last week and has been dealing with a nagging foot injury most of this season, is not available for the Buckeyes Saturday. Miyan Williams is back, though. Williams exited the Indiana game late in the first half with an apparent lower leg injury and was sidelined in College Park. Without either Henderson or Williams for most of the second half versus Maryland, true freshman running back Dallan Hayden stepped up with three rushing touchdowns.
Right guard Matthew Jones is the Buckeyes’ lone game-time decision for the Michigan showdown. Jones had to be helped off the field late in the Maryland game, and fourth-year offensive lineman Enokk Vimahi stepped in. Vimahi has played 102 snaps this season — all at guard — per Pro Football Focus.
Once again, wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who hasn’t played since the Iowa game, is out.
