Ezekiel Elliott rumbles for career-high 274 yards in Ohio State win
The Tigers then recovered an onside kick attempt to clinch the victory.
Diamont scrambled on third-and-goal from the 10 and his final throw in the back of end zone was batted away. A series of long-yardage plays in the second half saved the defending national champions, with Elliott running for touchdowns of 55, 65 and 75 yards.
All three of Ward’s touchdown runs came in the first half, helping Houston to a 21-10 lead at the break. He tossed 34 touchdowns and ran for 11 to set a new Big Ten record for touchdowns. He rushed for a career high 274 yards on 23 carries.
With freshman quarterback Will Grier and a fast, hard-hitting defense sharing starring roles, the Gators thumped the Rebels in a stunning Southeastern Conference mismatch.
He completed over 73% of his passes, once again showing the accuracy that has scouts so excited about his potential.
Prior to the injury, OSU’s defense was still doing a nice job containing Howard, as his longest rush was only for nine yards.
Johnathan Vickers added a 9-yard touchdown run and Everett Golson was 20 of 31 for 202 yards with a 5-yard scoring pass to Kermit Whitfield. Maryland had only 105 yards total offense against Michigan and has been outscored 73-6 the last two week by West Virginia and Michigan. Texas Tech was also penalized 17 times for 142 yards.
Just ask the Bulldogs, who came in as a slight favorite. But then, second-ranked TCU is 16th in that category (80.40), and fourth-ranked Baylor leads the nation in penalty yards (103.75). If they can get the win, they would be in position to secure bowl eligibility with an ensuing Homecoming victory over Rutgers, all of which would provide a nice birthday present for Kevin Wilson (born October. 23, 1961).
The game was much closer than expected.
The Indiana Hoosiers gave it their best against the #1 team in the country, but ultimately couldn’t get the win and suffer their first loss of the season. “The O-line and I have been feeling like this for the last couple games”.
When top rusher Jordan Howard went down with a left ankle injury in the first half, he went with Devine Redding.
Ohio State receiver Corey Smith was taken off the field on a golf cart after he appeared to injure his lower right leg during the third quarter of Saturday’s game at Indiana. Brice Ramsey also got a few playing time, but he completed only one pass and had two interceptions.
Heading into Saturday’s contest, opposing teams only had eight punt return yards through four games.
Meyer said he wants to get the ball to Braxton Miller more often, reflecting immediately after Miller’s two-touch game.
The fourth quarter opened up with Ohio State clinging to a three-point lead, but six seconds in Cardale Jones hit Michael Thomas for a 23-yard score to make it a 10-point game.
As far as Michigan, the Wolverines have a stingy, nasty defense that posted its second-straight shutout.
The Wildcats improved to 5-0 for the first time since 2012.
MADISON, Wis. – Desmond King took advantage of a mistake-prone Wisconsin offense to help the Hawkeyes pull off an upset.
It’s a huge road game for the Hoosiers. He was benched in both games, and head coach Randy Edsall suggested that a change was in the works after the game. On the ensuing possession, the Hoosiers converted a field goal.
Meyer, though, said he never considered pulling Jones in favor of J.T. Barrett. Ohio State is 5-0 SU when leading after three quarters.
