Ohio State entered Big Ten Conference play with a 4\u20130 record and in their first conference game, would defeat the Michigan State Spartans 17\u201316.

A Corey Brown touchdown reception with a few seconds remaining in the first half, would give the Scarlet team the 14\u20137 advantage heading into halftime.  The third quarter would be dominated by the Scarlet team as Braxton Miller would drive the team to the endzone, capping off the drive with a 5-yard touchdown run.
