Michigan State and Iowa share similarities ahead of Big Ten championship

First off, the Buckeyes did good by showing they are still capable of looking like a championship team when they stomped MI on Saturday at the Big House. The victor earns the Amos Alonzo Stagg Championship Trophy and a chance to play in one of the six bowls that comprise the College Football Playoff, including the Rose Bowl Game. Elliott, a junior, said nine days ago that this is his last season at OSU.

The Pac-12 is a little more cut and dry, as if Stanford loses to USC in the conference title game, the Buckeyes would surely be ranked ahead of the four-loss Trojans. The selection committee protocol emphasizes conference championships and Ohio State can’t win one.

Michigan State will play in the Big Ten title game for the third time in five seasons.

The Buckeyes did all they could to make their case against MI. They defeated the Wolverines in Ann Arbor by 29 points, while rushing for 369 yards against one of the nation’s top ranked defenses. He didn’t have almost as much time to throw as Cook, who was not sacked or pressured once.Saquon Barkley didn’t have as much room to run as Michigan State’s backs, but he finished with 103 yards on 17 carries and topped 1,000 yards for the season. I really regret everything I said. Griffith kicked five field goals to help propel the Crimson Tide to the SEC West title with a win over the rival Tigers (6-6, 2-6).

Michigan State is 11-1 and heading to the Big Ten title game, which is basically a College Football Playoff quarterfinal, to face unbeaten Iowa.

“265? I know I look slim-cut, but …” “He’s on a team that’s 11-1, and he’s one of the best players I’ve ever been around”. “I think we had to get that hurting feeling out of us”.

On Saturday, Penn State lost to Michigan State in what many expected to be a loss.

The quarterback remained relentlessly on message after the game, saying that he hasn’t even investigated the process of applying for an National Football League draft evaluation. Brandon Ross ran for 173 yards and three touchdowns, including an 80-yard score to take the lead for good.

He ran more than he passed.

Ohio State’s Sam Hubbard (6), Adolphus Washington (92) and Raekwon McMillan make the stop on Michigan’s De’Veon Smith in the second quarter at Michigan Stadium Saturday.

MI trailed the entire game but pulled within four points twice in the first half. Rudock and Bosa played together at St. Thomas Aquinas in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Rudock was 19 of 32 for 263 yards and a TD.

That’s who they are.”Penn State moved the ball effectively, especially in the first half”. Running back Derrick Henry rushed for 271 yards and a touchdown for Alabama. Running back Devine Redding and linebacker Dameon Willis Jr. did a few dance steps on the outside of the huddle and then the team marched over to the end of the bench where they held up the Bucket for the fans to see.

“We’ve closed a lot of ground”. “We knew their offensive line and defensive line were the strength of their team”. MI honored 44 fourth- and fifth-year seniors during a pre-game ceremony….

Brandon Ross scored on an 80-yard run with 4:40 to play and Maryland salvaged the final game of a trying season with a 46-41 victory on Saturday in what might be Kyle Flood’s final game as the Scarlet Knights’ coach. “OH-IO!” toward the end of another blowout.
