MI State beats Ohio State on late FG

The 23-game winning streak. UCLA can earn a berth in the conference title game for the first time since 2012 with a win over USC next week.

“Seemed like we were backed up a lot”, Meyer said. MI State coach Mark Dantonio was an assistant at Ohio State under Jim Tressel (2001-03), winning the BCS national championship in 2002….

“I’m disappointed. I’m disappointed in the play calling, I’m disappointed in the situations we were put in and I wish it all played out differently”, Elliott told reporters after the game, adding that the loss of the defending national champions felt like a “bad dream”.

O’Connor committed the first turnover that led to Ohio State taking a 7-0 lead with l2:15 left in the second quarter. There was no panic from the Spartans. Only a great plan, as the staff cobbled together a workable script for little-used signal-callers Tyler O’Connor and Damion Terry.

MI State continued to defy expectations upsetting Ohio State 17-14 in the final seconds of the game with a field goal to win.

132 – Ohio State managed a measly 132 yards against MI State. His long run? Seven yards. Paul James rushed for 116 yards and three touchdowns, and Rutgers beat Army 31-21 to snap a four-game losing streak. That streak is over … and so are any Heisman hopes for Elliott. “The last time I was in this stadium was for an all-star game”.

“This is my last game in The ‘Shoe”, he huffed afterward. “I rehearsed as a kid over my swing set ever since I could kick a ball, saying, ‘This kick’s to beat Ohio State, this kick’s to beat Ohio State.’ Being a kid who comes from OH, this means the world”. Elliott’s frustration was evident in his post-game interview when he spent time ripping into the Buckeyes’ coaches.

Zeke Elliott just ripped the OSU play calling.

Cook took a shot to the shoulder last week against Maryland. By any metric this game will go down as the worst offensive showing in Urban Meyer’s tenure. The other Big Ten loss for Meyer? Sione Houma and De’Veon Smith ran for touchdowns for the Wolverines (9-2, 6-1 Big Ten, No. 12 CFP). He said he calls “a lot of the plays anyway”, and tapped his own chest when placing the blame. I have to make the most of my time left.

Elliott criticizes his usage and the play calling from Ohio State coaches after Ohio State lost 17-14 to MI State, which isn’t exactly a good look, even if his comments were accurate, it just ideal to air your grievances in the public.

“That’s a team (Michigan State) we should beat”, he said. Penn State 8. Nebraska 9. Awesome. Take a bow, Dantonio. And then you got a guy in there who you think – the quarterback (runs) the ball, you’ve got be able to account for that. They had more quarterbacks then they knew what to do with, one of the best running backs in the country and a defense with potential All-Americans at every level. MI State responded after each one with a 75-yard touchdown drive. Still, the Spartan quarterbacks did their part, too. Gerald Holmes’ two-yard touchdown tied the game with 12:30 remaining. Saturday Barrett had 46 yards passing and 44 rushing.

After all, there’s not much to be said after such a statement win when the world thought you were going to lose. “We knew the whole season this was gonna be a tight game”. He never really got in a groove-just like the entire Ohio State team.

Elliott wore a special padding on his lower right leg, but declared himself 100 percent to get the ball. Everyone always wants to put it on the student-athlete but this one should be on the coach.

Even if the Rose Bowl didn’t pick Michigan, whether it was because it chose Iowa if Michigan State wins the Big Ten or Michigan State if Iowa wins the Big Ten, Michigan still could be selected by the Fiesta Bowl or Peach Bowl as an at-large team.
