Buckeyes run over Michigan
Michigan State advances to play undefeated Iowa in the Big Ten title game next Saturday in Indianapolis.
Colquhoun finished with four tackles, fifth best on the team Saturday.
The eighth-ranked Buckeyes (11-1, 7-1 in the Big Ten) clinched at least a share of the Big Ten East division championship for a fourth consecutive season. The Hawkeyes are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games after accumulating less than 275 total yards in their previous game and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win. Connor Cook also had a great game with 248 yards and three TDs through the air. Shelton said he knew all week that Connor Cook would play Saturday, and the thing is, Shelton didn’t really know. “Obviously, I’ve been very fortunate to be able to play in a lot of games and not have to sit out”. “That was a reality check”.
Penn State failed to beat a ranked opponent this season, dropping games to Temple, Ohio State, Northwestern and Michigan before Michigan State proved what the Lions found out after every loss this season- they have a ways to go before they’re ready to hang in the competitive Big Ten.
There will be plenty of time between now and Penn State’s bowl game, which could come as early as the December 26 Foster Farms Bowl in Santa Clara, Calif., or as late as the January 2 TaxSlayer Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Fla.
It was 41-16 in the fourth when Malik McDowell intercepted a pass that had bounced off fellow defensive lineman Shilique Calhoun.
Barrett’s 13-yard run with 1:45 left in the third quarter extended OSU’s margin to 28-10.
After a Penn State fumble on the ensuing kickoff gave the Spartans the ball at the 9, Cook took the field and started motioning for the crowd to get louder.
“I have tremendous respect for John and the work he has put in over the last five years”, Franklin said in a statement released Sunday. “They got it done”.
When the season 2015 season began, defending national champions Ohio State was picked by many to not only to win the Big Ten, but also keep the national title.
This was the performance Ohio State waited for all season, with its stalwart defense at last complemented by an offense at its fully fleshed-out best. Brandon Ross ran for 173 yards and three touchdowns, including an 80-yard score to take the lead for good. That’s what makes it hurt more.”Hackenberg completed 22-of-39 passes for 257 yards and two touchdowns, but he threw two interceptions, was sacked twice and was hit on six or seven other snaps”. He bounced off one defender and spun past another before diving into the end zone. This was just a huge game to get this feeling out of us after that tough less.
Ohio State football’s blowout win in the Big House in Ann Arbor may have been the headline of the weekend for Buckeye sports, and deservedly so, but Urban Meyer’s squad wasn’t the only one in scarlet and gray to get a big win. The Tar Heels (11-1, No. 14 CFP) haven’t gotten much love from the committee without marquee victories on their resume and two FCS wins.
“We couldn’t make tackles, especially on No. 15”, MI defensive tackle Chris Wormley said.
Rivalry games can be tricky and both Clemson and Alabama had hard times pulling away in their annual in-state grudge matches.
Michigan State went on to score two more touchdowns in the third, the only scores of the quarter.
