9: Ohio State Beats Michigan State 49-37 (2014)

A year before in the Big Ten Championship Game, the Ohio State offense led by Braxton Miller would get stopped on a fourth and one play down by three (27-24). The next play, Michigan State quarterback Connor Cook handed the ball off to Jeremy Langford who would rush in for a touchdown putting the game away 34-24.

It was a different situation in 2014 as JT Barrett would pass for 300 yards and threw touchdown passes to Dontre Wilson, Michael Thomas and Devin Smith. Ezekiel Elliott also rushed for 154 yards and two touchdowns.

Michigan State was hanging with the Buckeyes for most of the game but a few three and outs had the Buckeyes pull away from Sparty winning 49-37.
