ANN ARBOR, Mich. - The Buckeyes knew it would be one of those games where they would need everyone ready to go and as Shaun Wade was unable to play on Saturday and Damon Arnette saw his day cut short, the Buckeyes needed to be ready with the next wave of players.

Justin Fields also missed some time when Buckeye Nation held its collective breath as he was on his back on the field for the second straight week and this time actually missed time on the field as he was being tended to in the injury tent.

Many of the key players went most of the way but when the Buckeyes got up to the 56-point mark and this game was well in hand, Ryan Day and the Buckeyes were able to substitute a little bit more and get some snaps for younger players in the biggest game of the regular season.

How did the snaps break up? We take a look with help from our friends at PFF.com as we update the snap counts on our weekly Snap Count feature.

Nobody really would have expected to see Chris Chugunov in this game but that is what happened. Fields got hurt and Chug came in for 14 big snaps as the Buckeyes made sure that their starting quarterback was okay and able to return.

Fields did not have his most accurate day of passing but his 14 completions went for 302 yards and four touchdowns and the Buckeyes were able to monitor his load as a runner with only six carries after a season-high last week against Penn State.

Ohio State fans would have loved to see Dobbins out there more but in his 60 snaps, JK Dobbins had 31 carries and a pair of receptions as the junior running back had 260 yards of all-purpose yardage.

Master Teague has seen a pair of the tougher defenses out there and his production has slowed down but he still fought for 29 yards on 12 carries as Michigan was out there thumping.

As with most weeks, Hill was out there for a good number of the snaps while several others rotated liberally, all in the 30s for snaps. Garrett Wilson took over the role as the freshman phenom against Michigan with a three-reception game that went for 118 yards and a score while the 2018 phenom, Chris Olave had a score of his own and 68 yards.

Ohio State had three receptions by tight ends as everyone but Jake Hausmann hauled one in but that did not keep Hausmann out of the action as he was out there for more than a dozens snaps of his own.

The first team offensive line saw 72 of the 79 snaps while the second team came in for the remaining seven. The Buckeyes only gave up one sack on the day and were able to open holes for 264 rushing yards. Some of the holes that were opened for Dobbins were things of beauty as the line worked very well in unison. There were also a few instances where things were not as well-executed but all-in-all, the line deserves a lot of credit.

Chase Young really did not come off the field all that much with his 67 snaps and while he did not get a sack and truly did not have much of a stat line, he was the focal point for the Wolverines and that allowed some other things to happen.

Jonathon Cooper played in this game and it will be his final game of the season at the redshirt limit of games played and already making the decision to come back in 2020.

One thing of note is that some of the young guys saw very limited action like Zach Harrison and Javontae Jean-Baptiste, both held in the low single digits.

Malik Harrison was another player that did not come off the field all that much while Pete Werner and Baron Browning were both in the 40s. Ohio State ran a lot of a 4-4 defense in this game and that meant a lot of opportunity for the linebackers, especially with some of the happenings in the secondary with guys unable to go.

As we mentioned before, no Shaun Wade in this game, which meant that guys like Sevyn Banks, Amir Riep and others needed to be ready to go. Things were not always clean in terms of how things went and how Michigan attacked the inexperienced guy on the field but things tightened up in the second half, where the Buckeyes gave up less than 115 total yards in the final 30 minutes of the game.

Jordan Fuller and Jeff Okudah were out there most of the snaps of the game. Damon Arnette was well on his way until an injury knocked him out for the remainder of the game. You have to wonder if they would have brought him back quicker if the Buckeyes really needed him but that is a moot point now and Ohio State will need to get one/both back before the Big Ten Championship Game.
