COLUMBUS — The No. 4

Michigan football team was just
hanging on.

Even when the Wolverines

went down two touchdowns
in the first half, and even when
momentum favored Ohio State
to begin the second half, they
hung perilously within reaching
distance.

But with just under five

minutes left in the third quarter,
the floodgates broke open.

It came on a punt, just after

Michigan had gone down, 27-19,
on a Buckeye field goal. Ohio State
receiver Chris Olave took a free
run at junior punter Will Hart
and blocked Hart’s kick.

The ball deflected high into

the air and directly into the
outstretched arms of Buckeye
cornerback Sevyn Banks, who
took it untouched to the house.

The Wolverines had finally

wilted, like they have against
Ohio State in 14 of the teams’ last
15 matchups, and from there they
could do nothing right, losing,
62-39.

“It was tough,” said senior

safety Tyree Kinnel. “We try to
stay upbeat throughout the whole
game and trust each other and
stay in the fight. But I remember a
point where it just got out of hand.
Slowly devastated us throughout
the game. All the yards they were
putting up, how easily they were
scoring, it was tough. Extremely
tough.”

The out-of-hand point may

have been the punt, or really any
point after that, but the sings of
impending trouble were present
from the beginning.

Michigan started the game

with the ball and a three-and-out,
and the Buckeyes promptly drove
43 yards for a score immediately
afterward, finishing it off with a
touchdown to Olave.

Olave, who entered the game

with four catches all season,
tacked on another score with
9:08 left in the second quarter,
and Ohio State threatened to
break the game open when
wide receiver Johnnie Dixon III
caught a wide-open touchdown
to extend the Buckeye lead to 21-6
minutes later.

To these opening blows, the

Wolverines had answers.

They scored back with a

fade-route
touchdown
from

sophomore wide receiver Nico
Collins. Then, on the ensuing
kickoff, Ohio State kick returner
Demario McCall simply dropped
the ball and Michigan recovered
on
the
Buckeyes’
nine-yard

line. Junior running back Chris
Evans caught a wheel route for a
touchdown on the next snap, and
despite failing to convert on the
two-point conversion attempt,
the Wolverines were suddenly
down just two.

Ohio
State
drove
down

to Michigan’s two-yard line
twice in its next three offensive
possessions, but had to settle for
field goals both times.

“We had our opportunities

offensively, and you know, the
defense started the second half
good and held them to a field
goal and got a stop, and we had a
chance,” Patterson said.

That’s
when
Olave
broke

through the Wolverines’ punt
protection,
and
Banks
went

dancing into the endzone.

Junior
quarterback
Shea

Patterson threw an interception
three plays later, and the Buckeyes
scored two snaps after that.

As Kinnel put it, things were

out of hand.

“You know, sometimes you

get desperate in those types of
situations,” Patterson said of
his interception. “Wasn’t really
trying to force it, I was actually
trying to throw the ball out of
bounds. Whoever made that play
made a good play and hit my

elbow.”

One last time, Michigan drove

down the field in an effort to
battle back, and Collins secured
another fade route to chop the
deficit back to two scores.

And then Ohio State wide

receiver Parris Campell Jr., took
the first play on the Buckeyes’ next
drive 78 yards to the endzone.

In the end, the statistics are

hideous
for
the
Wolverines.

They gave up the most points of
any regulation game in program
history. Ever. They allowed the
most yards (567) since coach
Jim Harbaugh and defensive
coordinator Don Brown have
taken over. They gave it all up in
their biggest game of the year.

After Campbell’s run, the

metaphorical floodgates were
completely obliterated.

Ohio State spent the rest of

the game scoring and breaking
records
offensively,
while

pumping up the crowd and
dancing on graves defensively.

As the result of a unanimous

vote by the Ann Arbor City
Council at a recent meeting,
the City now has to disclose
information regarding where
lead
materials
have
been

used in the Ann Arbor water
system.

At last Monday’s meeting,

councilmembers
gave
city

staff until the end of the year
to produce the information,
which identifies places where
some homeowners may be
exposed lead contamination
and need to replace their
water
service
lines.
The

decision follows a Freedom of
Information Act request filed
by the Ann Arbor News and
MLive. The city originally
asked for a payment of $667.94
for copies of the records, but at
the meeting last Monday, the

council voted to waive the fee.

City Councilmember Jack

Eaton, D-Ward 4, said it was
important to waive the costs
given the funding constraints
of local media outlets.

“I think that all of us are

aware of the dire economic
circumstances of local media,”
Eaton said. “Newspapers are
struggling to survive in small
communities like this, and it’s
so essential that a community
like
ours
have
a
good,

healthy paper. We shouldn’t
burden our local newspaper
unnecessarily.”

Eaton
also
noted
the

state
law
regarding

public
documents
favored

disclosure, adding the city
itself sometimes struggled to
disseminate information.

“Any opportunity that we

have, we should cooperate
with
the
local
media
in

their attempts to take city

As
Ann
Arbor’s
fourth

annual deer cull approaches, some
have raised concerns regarding
the safety of donating venison to
local soup kitchens. Many deer
in the area drink from the Huron
River, which the Department of
Environmental
Quality
found

this summer contains the toxic
chemical perfluorooctanesulfonic
acid, or PFAS.

In
October,
the
Michigan

Department of Natural Resources
and the Department of Health and
Human Services issued a “Do Not
Eat” advisory for deer within five
miles of Clark’s Marsh in Oscoda
Township due to PFAS levels
found in the animals. Though the
Huron River contains some PFAS,
Hayner said the Clark’s Marsh area
provided the deer with a uniquely
high amount of PFAS exposure.

Under the surface of Lake Erie

lies a vast and complex ecosystem
of plants and animals. In a recent
study, University of Michigan
scientists dove into the biology
of the lake’s algae population to
better understand the catalyst
of their summer blooms and the
potential hazards they pose to
the environment.

According to a University press

release, the study — conducted
by the University’s Cooperative
Institute
for
Great
Lakes

Research — found cyanobacteria
cells to be the cause of Lake Erie’s
summer algal blooms. Over two
years, researchers evaluated the
sediment-core of 16 sites up to 30
feet deep over 145 square miles
in the lake’s western area, as it
has been greatly affected by the
blooms.

The
team
identified

cyanobacteria cells as the culprit
for summer blooms, surviving
at the bottom of the lake during
the winter and reemerging in the
spring.

According
to
an

announcement
from
the

marching
band,
Maggie
St.

Clair, director of Operations for
the Michigan Marching Band,
unexpectedly passed away after
a medical emergency Saturday
morning just before leaving
for the Michigan v. Ohio State
football game.

Marching Band Drum Major

Kelly Bertoni, an LSA junior,
said working with St. Clair on
Fridays was her favorite time of
day because of St. Clair’s caring
personality.

“Every Friday I would go in

was just the highlight of my
day,” Bertoni said. “It was a time
where we would just talk and
catch up on life things and then
go to work.”

“Kelly, where’s my hug for the

day?”

This is what St. Clair would

ask Bertoni as she came in to
help St. Clair with the marching
band’s finances and office work
every Friday.
