Playoff will likely crown new champion after Ohio St upset
“I’m disappointed in the situations that we were put in, and I wish it all played out differently”, Elliott said. “I couldn’t disagree with him”. Those things are more appropriately deal with in-house, but he’s got his rights like everybody else.
“But I’m sure every football team that loses feels like that”. He said he made that decision a month ago.
I am sorry for all those offended by the statements made by me Saturday after OUR loss. “My intentions were not to point fingers at anyone but OUR failure”. But I’ll write it off to a young man who was frustrated and emotional after a heartbreaking loss.
The Buckeyes (10-1) and Wolverines (9-2) are set to kick off at 12 p.m. E.T. Saturday at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, Mich. The game will be televised on ABC.
After the game, he was critical of his coaches and questioned why he only carried the ball only 12 times.
You can either choose to believe Elliott’s comments are the first crack in the machine Meyer built in Columbus, a NFL Draft exodus will precede a hit in recruiting and more systemic problems will tear all that down. A junior, Elliott spent the beginning of the week in the hospital after a cut to his leg became infected, but he complained that he had healed and wasn’t given enough playing time Saturday.
“He was sort of wired up like everybody else was on our sideline and I think he did a great job”, Dantonio said. But he agreed the forum wasn’t the right one.
The Spartans now just have to beat Penn State Saturday for a ticket to the Big Ten Championship game and a likely matchup with undefeated Iowa. “He said what was on his heart. It may have been wrong, it was in the moment, but he felt like it was what he needed to say”, Bosa said.
Flash it back to the 2013 Big Ten title game against the Buckeyes to send the Spartans to the Rose Bowl.
Missing injured quarterback Connor Cook, Michigan State completed just one pass in the second half, but they gave Geiger a chance to win it with 3 seconds left and he delivered.
The loss broke Ohio State’s 23-game winning streak and also halted Elliott’s streak of 15-straight games with at least 100 yards. He added 25 yards rushing on eight carries.
Meyer said he regrets not taking a more active role in play-calling as Saturdays game went on, and said he will have more of a role moving forward.
A very isolated incident, Meyer said. The yardage total was the lowest in Meyer’s career as a head coach. “It happens. I’m not saying it’s not true, but that’s not the place for it”.
Zeke’s got, like I said, a three-year bank.
