Fields completed 14 of 25 passes for 302 yards and four touchdowns, and had six carries for 25 yards. Dobbins meanwhile had 31 carries for 211 yards and four touchdowns, along with two catches for 49 yards. It was only Michigan’s third loss all year as they finished the season at 9-3. Ohio State improved to 12-0.
The LSU Tigers meanwhile hammered Texas A & M 50-7. Joe Burrow of Athens, OH was outstanding. He completed 23 of 32 passes for 352 yards and three touchdowns. It was also a wonderful evening for Tigers receiver Ja’Marr Chase of Harvey. LA. Chase had seven catches for 197 yards and two touchdowns. LSU improved to 12-0, while the Aggies fell to 7-5.
The Buckeyes meanwhile recorded two touchdowns in each of the four quarters against the Wolverines. Of their eight touchdowns, four were rushing and four were passing. The LSU Tigers meanwhile dominated the Aggies after the first half as they had a 31-0 lead heading into the break.
On December 7, the LSU Tigers face the University of Georgia Bulldogs for the Southeastern Conference Championship Game from Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, GA.

The Buckeyes will be facing a Badgers squad ranked 13th in the United States for the Big Ten Championship Game at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, IN.
