No. 3 Michigan Must Win The Game to Make It Relevant Again

With a win over Minnesota at Camp Randall this Saturday, the Badgers can clinch the Big Ten West crown. Defensively, Penn State is allowing 23.7 points and 347.1 yards per game.

The redshirt freshman from Dayton has been one of the surprises of Ohio State’s season, recording 7.5 tackles for loss as a reserve defensive tackle.

No.3 Michigan: The WOLVERIENS have had a great Season under coach Jim Harbaugh.

Of course Alabama retained the top spot in the poll. Northwestern is.500 in the conference, picking up wins against Iowa, Michigan State, Indiana and Purdue while losing matchups against Nebraska, Ohio State, Wisconsin and Minnesota.

For the first time since November 1960, three Big Ten teams are in the top five of The Associated Press poll. All PSU needed was one. It was 9-0 at the half. Kenny Allen found himself punting six times.

Neither team aced the playoff eyeball test on Saturday while playing about 70 miles apart. He underwent precautionary concussion testing and according to Franklin is “fine”. The MAC, Mountain West and the American Athletic Conference had one team apiece. They shot 47 percent from three and physically outperformed the Spartans on the glass and in the paint (40 points in paint compared to MSU’s 22).

Tulane is 3-8, 0-7. They hold the tiebreaker with USF. The Spartans are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 meetings and the over is 13-3-1 in the last 17 meetings. “It’s a must-win game”. Is Indiana ever going to put it together on both sides of the ball in the same year?

The Owls now rank third in the nation in total defense, behind Alabama and MI. We had a great defensive effort and the offense did some things they had to do against a great MI defense. He entered the Michigan State game as the only FBS player with 600 yards both receiving and rushing and caught a 24-yard touchdown pass from Barrett against the Spartans. One conference also benefited greatly, as it could possibly sneak two teams into the field. The duo combined for 306 yards and three TDs. All they have to do is Beat Michigan and I think they are in. There would’ve been more cases of big kids vs. little kids had Florida and LSU played last month as initially scheduled.

Might root for SC to upset Clemson next Saturday. Previous year it was 37-32 at SC.

Ohio State’s Pat Elflein is our top-ranked offensive lineman in this year’s class, and his versatility (experience at both guard and center) should make him a first-round pick come next April. Ohio State will be at home next weekend, where it has not lost to MI since 2000. Hasn’t won in Columbus since 2000.

At least that’s the way it appeared at Ohio State on Monday with MI coming into Ohio Stadium on Saturday. MSU certainly isn’t playing for a bowl this year so there is a lot less to lose by going for two. In 2014 it was a 34-10 loss in Happy Valley. The Nittany Lions and Cornhuskers have better offenses than the Badgers. Have obviously come a long way since that 1-2 start.

Elflein, who grew up and went to school in the Columbus suburb of Pickerington, said the magnitude of the annual game was drilled home for him years ago.

Speaking of rebounds, Southern Cal is looking even better than the team that I had 21st on my preseason ballot.

To help celebrate the 10th anniversary of their historic No. 1 vs.

The Clemson Tigers, are ready to make a playoff run. Tennessee won’t win the SEC East, but not having to play Alabama again is a good thing, yes? Good luck with that.

Gerard Ross is an assistant at Trinity Christian in Florida and was recruited by Meyer during his time at Notre Dame. It would be very important, especially for our season.
