Damion Terry made his first start at quarterback in MSU's 45-12 loss at Penn State.

The Michigan Wolverines and Ohio State Buckeyes provided a rivalry game for the ages on Saturday . We talk with Current Sports host Al Martin about how the college football playoff was shaken up a bit with the outcome, the final game of the MSU football season and the NFC North-leading Detroit Lions.

It’s what college football fans far and wide are talking about this morning around the water cooler. Michigan traveling to Ohio State in a game that was decided in double overtime! Eventually the Buckeyes were crowned victorious after a controversial fourth down run that eventually lead to the game-winning score from Curtis Samuel. So, how does this game impact the college football playoff?

We talk with Current Sports host Al Martin to break it down, as well as talk about the tough weekend for MSU football and men’s basketball, and the division leading Detroit Lions.

Al Martin is the host of Beyond the Score, a new series coming to WKAR in the fall of 2024. Al is also sports reporter for WKAR news.
