He carried the ball four times the rest of the game, including only two carries for three yards in the second half.

“And I hope he will be back because we got our goals in front of us still”, Geiger said. “I deserve more than (12) carries, I really do”. 17-14 on Saturday at Ohio Stadium.
That Elliott intends to turn pro after this season is no surprise.
Harbaugh said Peppers has played nine different positions this season – cornerback, safety, nickel back, running back, quarterback, wide receiver, slot receiver, punt returner and kickoff returner.
4Anticipating losses by Florida and North Carolina in their championship games, if not sooner, a one-loss Big 12 team would also seem to need a Stanford victory over Notre Dame.
Smith said that although he wishes Elliott kept his comments private, “we’ve got to recognize today that people have rights and he’s a man growing. Wherever I’ve been, it’s been, ‘What time is the Michigan-Ohio State game on?’ I’m going to watch it”, he said. That ended a streak of 15 straight games of more than 100 yards rushing by OSU’s junior tailback.
“No I’m not content…[not with] a lot of plays anyway”. “So finger will be pointed right here. I have to do better”.

Their 30-game winning streak in regular-season conference games? The victor will earn 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.

Harbaugh during Tuesday’s Big Ten conference call animatedly described his first impressions of the rivalry. He did say (without going into specifics) that there are numerous things that make this rivalry special though. Perhaps the most crucial one came on a MI State fourth-and-8 early in the fourth quarter. “Everyone that’s out there playing has to reflect on themselves and look at what they can do better to help the team”. Meanwhile, the Spartans duo of O’Connor and Terry totaled 16 runs for 50 yard and added a combined 91 yards through the air. MI State, meanwhile, ran the ball 51 times for 203 yards.
The Buckeyes started the season as the unanimous No. 1 team in the country, an overwhelming favorite to win another national title.
While I do have faith in Rudock’s arm to do some of that same work against the Buckeyes, I can’t bring myself to believe that’ll be enough.
MI State wasn’t the only Playoff hopeful to experience a Re-rank bump. Will they at MI?

“I think it’ll kind of light a fire under us that we did (lose)”, left tackle Taylor Decker said.
