Ohio State has revived its old national-title ways in the four years since Meyer arrived. I’ve never seen a flawless team. If the pundits are right, maybe this will look really stupid, but as of now, I’m not sure any Buckeye fan would argue with that assessment. I guess the Packers were not in the mood to except gifts because it’s not quite the holiday season yet.

“I don’t talk to our football team about redemption”, Dantonio said. Oh, well Detroit, you can start up another streak next season in Green Bay.
The question is what’s the best way to fix it, because it’s not coming in the form of a personnel change.
ACC: C Clemson is still top dog with the top slot in the College Football Playoff rankigns, and North Carolina’s surge has added another power team to the conference. “We ran against not a good defense, a great defense”. They all lost and have no shot at the college football playoffs. QB Clayton Thorson will have to pull the Wildcats out of an offensive funk if they’re going to move into a second-place tie in the West with Wisconsin. Oklahoma still plays Oklahoma State yet, so either OSU or Oklahoma will be eliminated after they hook up.
During Ohio State’s lone other big recruiting event of the year – the night game vs Penn State with the black jersey’s- the Buckeyes played hosted to one of the state’s best prospects in ’18, RB Jaelen Gill and he will be back this weekend.
Call it the third rail of Las Vegas. “I think that’s what he would say”.
Speaking of Spencer, no one needs to be reminded of just how much the departure of his sidekick, Devin Smith, has impacted the Buckeyes.
MI State is No. 9 in the country in third-down conversion, getting a first down 49.3 percent of the time. The uncertain condition of star quarterback Connor Cook’s right shoulder has been one of the main story lines this week.
Urban Meyer has a bond with each of his departing senior classes, but the group playing its final game in Ohio Stadium on Saturday has a special meaning for the Ohio State coach. Since Penn State joined the Big Ten in 1993, the best combined record by those four schools through the postseason is 38-11 (.776) in 1997. I think it will. The Buckeyes will be a tough out at home, however.
If you believe the pundits, Saturday is going to be ugly for the Green and White. After a long pause, he said, “Well, I’m rooting for Ohio State to win”. The game kicks off at 3:30 p.m. Ohio State running back Ezekiel Elliott (142.5 yards per game) will be challenged by a MI State defense that holds opponents to 121 rushing yards per game. MI won a thrilling double overtimer at IN last week.
If Ohio State and MI survive this week, the victor of their annual showdown on November 28 in Ann Arbor will advance to the Big Ten title game.

MI State takes on Ohio State in a Big Ten matchup. That confirmation was taken care of by the player’s father, who told David Lombardi of ESPN.com that his son would indeed be undergoing a surgical procedure today. There are other talented reserves like Sam Hubbard (a name you will hear a lot in the coming years) because of course there are. “We’re going to do the best we can, and he’s going to keep grinding and working and developing as a receiver”. While Miller’s touches have been down over the past few weeks, Meyer understands what the game means to Miller.
