ANN ARBOR, Mich- Zoltan Mesko boomed a 52-yard punt that Ray Small took back for a score. However, an illegal block in the back on Brian Rolle negated the touchdown and eased Michigan fans' worries ... for about 11 seconds. On Ohio State's first play of the drive on its own 38-yard line, Beanie wells broke a 62-yard run for a Buckeye touchdown - and this one counted.

Ohio State now leads 14-3 early in the second half, and the fans' mood is matching the weather: cold and goomy.
