No. 12 MI routed 42-13 by No. 8 Ohio State

He was untouched and the No. 5 Spartans were unfazed by Penn State in a resounding 55-16 rout that clinched the Big Ten East championship. Then Demetrious Cox of the Spartans picked up Carter’s fumble and returned it 77 yards for another TD. Cook threw for 248 yards with a 73 percent completion percentage and three touchdowns.

The Buckeyes (11-1, 7-1 Big Ten) have won 11 of the past 12 games in what has become a lopsided series, but Saturday’s victory wasn’t enough to get defending national champion Ohio State into the Big Ten Championship Game.

In many respects, Iowa’s unbeaten football team faces a mirror image of itself Saturday in the Big Ten Championship game. Brandon Ross scored on an 80-yard run with 4:40 to play and Maryland overcame a 21-point deficit to defeat Rutgers 46-41 in what might be Kyle Flood’s final game as the Scarlet Knights’ coach…. “So, there’s added risk to all of this for us”.

“I would never do anything to hurt this university or distract this team”, he said.

Indeed, Iowa quarterback C.J. Beathard has had a breakout season, and the Hawkeyes have ridden their steady rushing attack to a 12-0 record in the regular season despite temporarily losing leading rusher Jordan Canzeri to injury. “Obviously, I’ve been very fortunate to be able to play in a lot of games and not have to sit out”.

“In theory, that’s what we’re trying to do, too”.

Freshman Clayton Thorson threw for 146 yards and a score as Northwestern (10-2, 6-2 Big Ten, No. 16 CFP) avenged last year’s 47-33 home loss to IL.

In Gainesville, Fla. – Dalvin Cook ran for 183 yards and two touchdowns, Roberto Aguayo kicked two long field goals and the Seminoles upended the Gators. They were down 10 at the break and had out gained the Spartans by 68 yards. After that we finally switched or mindset to: “We have to be dominant, in all aspects of the game, every game, every down, every play”.

That was Iowa’s best season, an Orange Bowl win and No. 7 final ranking, until now. Burbridge has 1,158 receiving yards, seven touchdowns and 75 receptions on the season. There are reports that Memphis coach Justin Fuente will replace Beamer, and Tech athletics director Whit Babcock did not deny them, saying they are “not official at this time” and that the focus should be on Beamer – who will coach the team’s bowl game.

Both teams should thank Ohio State today.

Of course, the biggest difference between the two teams is at the quarterback position. We’re going to stay at that.

Without starting defensive end Garrett Sickles, who didn’t make the trip for undisclosed reasons, the Nittany Lions moved versatile tackle Anthony Zettel to defensive end.

One week after struggling against Michigan State, the Buckeyes dominated archrival Michigan 42-13 on Saturday to spoil Jim Harbaugh’s coaching debut in one of college football’s most storied rivalries.

“He was comfortable in the pocket”, Franklin said. He bounced off one defender and spun past another before diving into the end zone. Wide receiver Chris Godwin made 11 catches for 109 yards and two touchdowns.
