Fiesta Bowl, Texas vs Ohio State

ANN ARBOR, Mich., Nov. 21 (UPI) -- Cameron Heyward's end zone fumble recovery Saturday started No. 8 Ohio State on its way to a 21-10 win over Michigan.

The victory was Ohio State's sixth straight in the Big Ten Conference series.

The touchdown on a fumble by quarterback Tate Forcier came before the contest was 5 minutes old and was one of five Michigan turnovers.

Brandon Saine rushed for 84 yards on 12 carries with one touchdown.

Daniel Herron gained 96 yards on 19 carries and caught a fourth-quarter touchdown pass from Terrelle Pryor, who threw for only 67 yards, but rushed for 74 yards on 19 carries for the Rose Bowl-bound Buckeyes (10-2, 7-1), who held only a 320-309 yardage advantage.

Forcier threw an 18-yard touchdown pass to Vincent Smith, but also threw four interceptions, and Jason Olesnavage kicked a field goal for the Wolverines (5-7, 1-7), who endured their second straight losing season, with seven losses for the first time in school history.
