Watch Ohio State vs Michigan State live online stream

With that in mind, he made a decision earlier in the week that when it came to any late-game decisions in a potential close game, he was going to take the aggressive approach and play for the win.

The coaches and the Associated Press media voters kept Ohio State No.2 in their polls this week, despite the narrow escape from windy East Lansing. The Spartans, who had only seven sacks coming into the game, had three against Ohio State.

Michigan State Coach Mark Dantonio said he’d planned all week for the Spartans to go for 2 if a situation like that came up. He had 160 yards rushing, including a 61-yard burst to set up a field goal and all 56 yards on an eight-play touchdown drive in the fourth quarter. It was the first touchdown the Buckeyes defense had given up over nine quarters. The Wolverines sport Heisman Trophy contender/two-way performer Jabrill Peppers, a wild-card player on both sides of the ball.

West Virginia (8-2, 5-2, No. 14 CFP) was eliminated from the conference race. More concerning for the Badgers was they only shot five free throws in the contest. Here are the Big Ten basketball power rankings after one week of play.

De’Veon Smith ran for a career-high 158 yards and two touchdowns on 23 carries to lead No. 3 Michigan past IN in its home-finale at Michigan Stadium that ended IN a blizzard.

But LJ Scott would not be denied. “That’s how you want to start an important game on the road”.

Instead of giving it to Scott one more time, MSU went into a shotgun look and quarterback Tyler O’Connor dropped back to pass. Still, Clemson (9-1) can lock up its spot by closing the regular season with wins over improving Wake Forest and rival SC, before taking out someone from the weak side of the Atlantic Coast Conference in the league’s championship game.

A SECOND BIG TEN TEAM – If Penn State and Wisconsin both win out, and Ohio State beats MI, the victor of the Big Ten title will be in prime position to claim the final playoff spot.

But the Hoosiers’ Devine Redding was held to 50 yards rushing on 22 carries a week after running for 108 yards and two touchdowns in a loss to then-No.

Bridges, a 6-foot-7 freshman, put on quite a show that the fans loved at the Breslin Center, including a former Michigan State great and Hall of Famer. Don’t forget that it was Scott who won the Spartans the Big Ten Championship past year. While it looked Gareon Conley would be remembered for being on the receiving end of an L.J. Scott hurdle, he came back and got the game-sealing pick.

True freshmen linemen Will Fries and Michal Menet made the trip, as well, but neither played.

Senior quarterback Ryker Fyfe completed 23 of 37 passes for 220 yards and one touchdown while starting in place of injured senior Tommy Armstrong Jr. Ohio State may be the only school that can lay claim to both DBU and RBU. Even if Ohio State beats MI, it could lose a head-to-head tiebreaker with Penn State for the division title. So long as the Wolverines hold up their end of the bargain and beat IN, we’ll be treated to an incredible contest.

FORT WORTH, Texas – Mason Rudolph ran for two touchdowns and threw for another score and Oklahoma State earned a Big 12 title shot with its seventh consecutive victory.

If Washington and Wisconsin win out, they would have a legitimate claim to one of these spots – the Huskies as a one-loss title victor and Wisconsin as the Big Ten champions with its only two losses being on the road at Ohio State (in OT) and at MI (by 7).
