MI St. tops Buckeyes, 17-14

“It’s the greatest rivalry in college football, and so I don’t know what else can be said about it”, Darboh told Steve Kornacki of MGoBlue.

With Florida entrenched in the top 10 and FSU trying to get back to a respectable bowl game, the clash between in-state rivals is critical for positioning in the post season.

It’s the first time Ohio State has lost a regular-season conference game since Urban Meyer became coach four seasons ago.

Ezekiel Elliott #15 of the Ohio State Buckeyes runs into Damon Knox #93 of the MI State Spartans and Riley Bullough #30 of the MI State Spartans at the line of scrimmage in the second quarter at Ohio Stadium on November 21, 2015 in Columbus, Ohio. I understand he’s upset after losing the game/undefeated season/chance for another championship/Heisman, but it seems there was pent up frustration from “something” and it finally all came bursting out.

Royce Freeman rushed for 147 yards in his seventh consecutive game going above the 100-yard mark for the Ducks, who awaited the outcome of Saturday night’s game between Stanford and California to see if they were still alive for the Pac-12 North title.

Afterward, he ripped his coaches.

Elliott criticizes his usage and the play calling from Ohio State coaches after Ohio State lost 17-14 to MI State, which isn’t exactly a good look, even if his comments were accurate, it just ideal to air your grievances in the public. “I’m disappointed in the play calling, I’m disappointed in the situations we were put in, and I wish it all played out differently”.

He also revealed that he was hospitalized Monday through Wednesday with an infection in his left shin while battling a 103-degree fever.

“Damion has had little game experience”, Dantonio said. Even after Smith graduated and Herman took the Houston job, Ohio State returned Miller, Barrett, Jones, Elliott and most of its linemen, so it was nearly assumed the Buckeyes would be diversified and just as hard to defend.

“No, I was not content. I call a lot of plays anyways”. And this Saturday, they’ll go at it again at The Big House in Ann Arbor during the latest installment of “The Game”. It didn’t work out.

It was not the way he wanted to go out.

The Spartans started the winning drive at the Ohio State 48-yard line with 4:07 left after a punt.

Before he started kicking for the Spartans, Geiger said he was representing himself, his family, his support group and those who gave him opportunities growing up.

“It’s sickening”, one fan said. “After that, I knew I was going to make it”. And so much better than when the Spartans dropped that fateful game to Nebraska.

No. 7 Oklahoma 30, No. 11 TCU 29: NORMAN, Okla. – Oklahoma’s Steven Parker batted away Bram Kohlhausen’s two-point conversion attempt with less than a minute left to preserve the win for Oklahoma (10-1). J.T. Barrett threw pass to Jalin Marshall on the next play and made it 14-7 Ohio State with 3:33 left in the third quarter. Their first loss of the season was a combination of all the problems the Spartans had dealt with all season long. The fifth ranked team in the country is making a strong case for being included in the CFP and should get more support this week, unless the committee is hell bent on keeping Notre Dame in the conversation.

No. 16 Florida State 52, Chattanooga 13: TALLAHASSEE, Fla.

“I think it was [former OSU defensive lineman] Matt Finkes saying, ‘Yeah, we’ve just got to get on a roll here, ‘ ” Meyer said Monday, laughing.

“We come in with something to prove”, Dantonio said.
