COLUMBUS, Ohio — In the first overtime game in the history of the storied rivalry, Curtis Samuel scored on a 15-yard run in the second overtime and No. 2 Ohio State escaped with a 30-27 victory over No. 3 Michigan on Saturday.
Ohio State fans poured onto the field in celebration after Samuel reached the end zone to end the dramatic, tension-packed game.
Kenny Allen had kicked a 37-yard field goal after Michigan failed to pick up a first down in the second overtime to give the Wolverines (10-2, 7-2 Big Ten) a 27-24 lead.
Ohio State (11-1, 8-1) took possession and gambled on a fourth-and-1 from the 16-yard line. Barrett barely picked up the first down and on the next play Samuel raced into the end zone to end one of the classic games in the annual rivalry.
The Buckeyes clinched at least a share of the Big Ten East Division championship and improved to 5-0 in overtime games with Urban Meyer as coach.
Kentucky 41, No. 11 Louisville 38
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Austin McGinnis kicked a 47-yard field goal with 12 seconds left to lift Kentucky to an upset of Louisville.
The victory snapped a five-game Kentucky losing streak in the annual Governor’s Cup rivalry game.
Louisville (9-3) seemed ready to put the game away when it reached the Kentucky 9-yard-line, but quarterback Lamar Jackson’s fumble was recovered by Kentucky’s Courtney Love with 1:45 left.
It took Kentucky (7-5) only three plays to get to the Louisville 36-yard line and set up for the game-winning field goal.
