Top 25 shake-up: Gators up, ‘Dawgs down, Buckeyes still 1
Diamont scrambled on third-and-goal from the 10 and his final throw in the back of end zone was batted away. They’re now tied with Oklahoma for the most weeks at No. 1. Who is up, and who is down?
Meyer was more concerned with the mistakes.
Ohio State’s Ezekiel Elliott (15) dives into the end zone for a 55… “Three big hits. It’s great to see him get to the second level”. He was damn awesome.
When everything else fizzled Saturday for Ohio State, coach Urban Meyer put the ball in Ezekiel Elliott’s trusted hands. Indiana would suffer a bad snap and the ball would be thrown up by Diamont in desperation for an incomplete pass. Let the balm of the Tedeschi Trucks band cleanse your troubled heart.
This is my single favorite song.
“I told them at halftime, ‘you thought you could play, ‘ ” Wilson said. On two occasions, Jones missed open receivers in the red zone on plays that probably would’ve resulted in touchdowns. Sudfeld has the second-best passer efficiency rating in the Big Ten, and the Hoosiers much-maligned defense has been improving. “We just have to complement that with the pass game a little bit”. He led the Hoosiers with 98 yards on seven carries and Howard finished with 34 yards on 14 carries. A Hoosiers field goal shaved the Buckeyes’ lead to a touchdown, 27-20, not long after. “One time we didn’t tackle, and the other two times we just didn’t fit the play properly and they blocked us and he’s a good player”, Wilson said. Look to the right, where the three lead blockers stood. “It doesn’t always work exactly how you planned”. He wants to put his foot on your throat.
BERKELEY, Calif. – It was not quite as wild as last year’s game when the two teams combined for 119 points, but this year the Bears overcame an early 21-7 deficit to beat the Cougars.
The schedule has yet to provide Ohio State an opponent with comparable talent to the Buckeyes, and that’s not about to change anytime soon. The Buckeyes also trailed 17-13 with 2:23 to play in the third quarter. The Slobs had their moments, but if this offense is going to reach its true potential, those moments need to happen more often.
EVANSTON, Ill. – The Wildcats’ defense recorded its second shutout in five games and kept the Golden Gophers bottled up in its own territory in a Big Ten season-opening victory. The talent is there. Fix this and the offense will get back to scoring 40-plus points-per-game.
Michigan State’s Connor Cook went 13 of 19 for 139 yards and a touchdown, and became the school’s career leader with his 28th victory as the starting quarterback. That isn’t to say that he won’t get to that point, but he’s not helping the team very much right now. They didn’t score a touchdown in the second half, but added two field goals to secure the victory. He would finish with six receptions for 110 yards on the day. “I tried to make a play, but it just wasn’t enough“. No other ranked team has a turnover margin that bad.
Meyer is now 42-3 as Ohio State’s head coach.
UCLA, Notre Dame, Mississippi and Georgia are all waking up today asking how they can get back into the playoff chase. The list goes on. Iowa, which has played as well as any team in the league, won at Wisconsin.
The Buckeyes struggled offensively in the first half.
