Big Ten announces ‘public reprimand’ of Jim Harbaugh, $10K fine against Michigan
At 205-pounds and with excellent speed, he is built more like a defensive back than a linebacker.He could be the ideal spy on Barrett, who is one of the smartest and most effective running quarterbacks in the country (722 yards rushing and eight touchdowns). Could a win over Penn State get them in?
PK Michael Geiger, Michigan State: The Spartans owned the first half statistically, but managed just four field goals from the senior kicker.
When Penn State defeated Michigan State later in the day, the Buckeyes were shut out of this week’s Big Ten championship game that will pit the Nittany Lions against Wisconsin.
Very much so because it was not quite clear what else Ohio State (11-1, 8-1 Big Ten, No. 2 CFP) has won.
With all of this chaos in the books, what will the College Football Playoff rankings look like next week?
And we finish with MI, because one of the things which will help Meyer be remembered as an Ohio State legend is his record against the Wolverines.
After Michigan State got another field goal from Geiger to increase the visitors’ lead to 9-3, McSorley again benefited from his talented receivers.
Harbaugh was livid over a controversial spot after a fourth-down play that set up Ohio State’s game-winning touchdown. Three were in the third quarter, two of those to wideout Chris Godwin (5-135 receiving).
Barkley was shaken up in the third quarter and did not return to the game. Oklahoma State 12. Florida State 13. Nothing more than that.”Once the final seconds ticked off the clock, seniors Brandon Bell and Jordan Smith carried the bulky Land Grant Trophy, which goes to the Penn State-Michigan State victor, around the field in celebration.”You can’t really write a better story than this”, said Bell, who made 18 tackles”.
Adoree Jackson returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns and also caught a scoring pass to help lift Southern California to its eighth consecutive victory, a 45-27 romp over Notre Dame on in the 88th edition of their famed intersectional rivalry. As I cast my ballot for this week’s Associated Press Top 25 poll, I had not seen all the available angles of Ohio State’s fourth-down run in the second overtime.
Michigan’s losses were against Ohio State in a double overtime thriller, and an upset at Iowa by a field goal.
That built the tension for the crescendo of the second drive.
Linebackers: Quietly, Brandon Bell amassed 20 tackles, and Jason Cabinda seemed to be making a lot of stops against the rushing attack as well.
But Barkley couldn’t get going and eventually left the game with a right leg injury. Had 59 in this one. The Nittany Lions were slow to respond, trailing for most of the first half and 12-10 at halftime, and unable to spring Saquon Barkley, the Big Ten’s leading rusher.
“It’s been special”, Penn State coach James Franklin said.
(4) CLEMSON 56, SC 7: Deshaun Watson tied his career high with six touchdown passes, three to Mike Williams, and Clemson (11-1) took another strong step to the College Football Playoff by beating visiting SC (6-6).
