Iowa and Michigan State to play for B1G Championship

The victor of the game will undoubtedly seal a spot in the four-team College Football Playoff while the loser could be on the outside looking in. The defense is in the right spots and playing its opportunistic best, the offense is showing depth in playmakers and creativity in play-calling, and the Spartans seemingly keep improving week to week as the calendar prepares to flip into the postseason.

As senior linebacker Darien Harris left the field, he said: “Unbelievable, man, I love this team so much”.

“I think we had to get that hurting feeling out of us”.

When he’d look down, you could see the disappointment in them.

Clemson takes a 15-game winning streak into the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game against North Carolina (11-1, No. 14 CFP), which has won 11 straight since a season-opening loss to SC.

Marquette’s big men Luke Fischer and Henry Ellenson scored 18 points a piece as Marquette picked up the 2K Classic tournament title with a 78-73 overtime win over Arizona State in NY.

Thanks to that national title and a bunch of returning stars, Ohio State entered this season as the overwhelming favorite to repeat. His 698 yards to close out the 2014 national title run against Wisconsin, Alabama and OR should be enough evidence of that.

After totaling just 132 yards against the Spartans, Ohio State coach Urban Meyer moved offensive coordinator Ed Warinner to the press box to call the plays. The staff that came with him from Vanderbilt, especially offensive coordinator John Donovan, offensive line coach Herb Hand and special teams coach Charles Huff, are under public scrutiny. “This was our first goal. So, it was just a special game for us all in all”.

“Just so happy, going back to Indy”. Michigan State’s lone blemish in an 11-1 season was a freakish 39-38 defeat at Nebraska that included a controversial decisive touchdown.

Mississippi State (8-4, 4-4, No. 21) struggled in quarterback Dak Prescott’s final home game at Davis Wade Stadium. Mission accomplished with a 28-20 victory that wasn’t a thing of beauty-which has been a theme for Iowa all season.

“To be completely honest with you, I haven’t even looked into any of that”, he said. Football is not gymnastics. Here, it’s having one point more than your opponent. I’m trying to do it, day after day, week after week.

Kansas (0-12) went winless for the first time since 1954.

Instead Michigan State romped to a 55-16 victory, setting up a de facto quarterfinal playoff game against undefeated Iowa in Indianapolis. Ferentz and Dantonio has met seven times, with Ferentz holding a 4-3 edge.

If you watched Big Ten football on Saturday, you know the league’s dark days are gone. That’s an inexcusable mistake for any team when it happens once a season.

“We’ve played a lot of different guys up there and now we’re back in sync and again, we’ve gotten stronger”, coach Mark Dantonio said. “The crowd was great”. It’s championships that matter in East Lansing. “We just didn’t play well”. “I think he is one of the best players in America”.

In other games involving Big Ten teams, Nate Sudfeld threw for four touchdowns and Devine Redding ran for a career-high 144 yards to help IN pull away from Purdue 54-36 and become bowl eligible for the first time IN eight years…. His father, Jason, is a former MI quarterback and his grandfather on his mother’s side is former MI defensive back Tom Curtis, but Chad united the Wolverines and their biggest rivals. “He’s one of best players that I’ve ever been around”. They have won their way to the top.

“We were able to log in at 8:30 om and buy them (even though they weren’t supposed to go on sale until 9 pm), so therefore we thought it was a glitch and by the time 9 pm came, they were all sold”.
