Why Michigan and Ohio State SHOULDN’T Go To the Playoffs
Penn State is making its first appearance and going for its first championship since 2008.
Penn State: With injuries mounting, Penn State appeared destined for another ho-hum season at best after a Week 4 loss to MI dropped the Nittany Lions to 2-2.
Of what? His players had an idea.
Harbaugh repeatedly said he was “bitter” over the officiating in the game.
When the clock ticked down on Penn State’s victory, Franklin headed toward midfield.
With the win, Penn State next heads to the Big Ten Championship (vs. Wisconsin).
Emotions ran high in Ohio Stadium Saturday as No. 2-ranked Ohio State rallied from down 10 to defeat No. 3 MI 30-27 in two overtimes, as OSU earned a share of the Big Ten’s East Division title.
Harbaugh drew an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty earlier in the game after an offside on MI (10-2, 7-2 Big Ten, No. 3 CFP). That was something the players loved, yet couldn’t quite grasp, at the same time.
He continued, “Multiple holding penalties let go, multiple false starts, the official on my side is supposed to be watching that”. “In the 80s, 90s and early 2000s Penn State was one of those teams that when you saw Penn State on your college team’s schedule, you knew that was going to be a tough one”.
Just as the 2015 Big Ten champ didn’t bother the Lions on Saturday. “That’s what we’re looking to do”.
Penn State capped its regular season with a 45-12 win over visiting Michigan State Saturday at Beaver Stadium.
The Spartans’ failure to finish drives with touchdowns came back to bite them in the second half, as Penn State scored touchdowns on two conseutive drives to take control of the game.
Jalen Hurts rebounded from two early interceptions to pass for 286 yards and Alabamas defense did the rest in a 30-12 victory over No. 16 Auburn asgainst Auburn.
Trace McSorley has gotten used to seeing extra defenders crowding the line of scrimmage this season, and he’s become adept at taking advantage of it. Franklin shrugged his shoulders.
OXFORD, Miss. -Quarterback Nick Fitzgerald ran for a school-record 258 yards and two touchdowns and passed for three more as visiting Mississippi State routed Mississippi 55-20 in the Egg Bowl rivalry game on Saturday.
Backup quarterback Bart Houston played the entire second half for Wisconsin because of an injury to starter Alex Hornibrook.
The loss by Michigan and the win by Penn State over Michigan State will mean that neither OH nor Michigan will play in the Big Ten Championship. There was only one turnover in the game and it proved to be the difference maker, as ULL’s Taboris Lee returned an errant Justice Hansen pass for a 17-yard score. Franklin did not update Barkley’s condition after the game. He made a double move on the Spartans’ defense that provided an easy target for McSorley. It was also the Buckeyes’ seventh of the season, which leads the nation.
“Been a part of some insane football games here”, Barrett said. The shifty, dual-threat quarterback threw deep touchdown passes on three straight drives to cue Penn State’s 35-0 second half. A booming 60-yard punt pinned MI quarterback Wilton Speight at his own 6-yard line.
Barrett led the offense, completing 15-of-32 passes for 124 yards, but most importantly totaled 30 carries for 125 yards and a touchdown. Shelton had an entertaining 40-yard, across-the-field return to the Minnesota 19 after his first interception with about 13 minutes left.
They settle for a field goal as the scoring commenced. The Big Ten would later decide to allow more than one school to participate in the postseason. “We have to make the play to stop them”. It wasn’t that I wasn’t paying attention; I was so excited in the moment and she smiled and I didn’t need to say anything and she didn’t need to say anything. “You gotta believe, and you gotta lead, ‘” Shelton said.
