Bosa led with the crown, and while he didn’t run the risk of injuring Kizer’s head, he ran the risk of injuring his own, and so he was, by rule, penalized. “I thought that we handled ourselves well relative to the physicality of the game, but we didn’t execute as well as we needed to to win the game”. “I think I took the approach of getting better with this month and for this bowl game”.

Sun Bowl notebook: Weather was frightful, win delightful
Miami: QB Brad Kaaya is fifth on the school’s all-time passing list with 6,217 yards, ahead of Bernie Kosar and Vinny Testaverde . Kaaya has thrown for 3,019 yards this season and 15 touchdowns, and Yearby has racked up 1,212 total yards and eight touchdowns.
Bosa has played his last snap as a Buckeye. Ohio State won 44-28. “You never want to injure anybody….”
Christian McCaffrey breaks Stanford, Rose Bowl records in romp
Ezekiel Elliott ran for 149 yards and matched a Fiesta Bowl record with four touchdowns, sparking Ohio State’s prolific offense . Already prominently in NCAA record books, McCaffrey needed all of 11 seconds to write his name into the Rose Bowl annals.
“It made my stomach hurt”, Buckeyes running back Ezekiel Elliott said. We still wanted to come out here and show we’re still a good football team and, more importantly, what this program is about. “I’m not going to go there at all”.
Odd-even vehicle number plan takes off in Delhi
Under the scheme, Odd number registration cars will ply on odd dates and even number on even dates. One of the reasons for this might be the fact that most of the offices were closed on January 1.
Zeke’s final score of the day, a 47-yard gallop up the gut, put the game out of reach at 35-21 midway through the 3rd quarter gave him 43 rushing touchdowns in his OSU career allowing him to join Pete Johnson (56), Keith Byars (46) and Eddie George (44) as the only Buckeyes with at least 40 rushing trips to pay dirt.
Elliott also threw the key block on a 7-yard third-down conversion run by J.T. Barrett during a second-quarter touchdown drive and sprung Jalin Marshall for 15 yards on an end around on the next series en route to Elliott’s third score.
The Buckeyes play at Oklahoma on September 17 in their third game. The rock bounced straight off of the most reliable hands on the team and skipped away incomplete. 10 MI in which Elliott carried the ball 30 times for 214 yards and two TDs.
Thomas hasn’t said definitively that he’s leaving for the National Football League or staying in school.
Watkins and Butler will compete to start opposite senior-to-be Cole Luke next fall, with Russell seeming likely to declare for the NFL Draft.
Tweet of the Game: As I mentioned earlier, Joey Bosa was ejected from the game for targeting, and he didn’t wait until the game was over before apologizing to his teammates. But as far as that being a mindset going into the game?
In Ann Arbor, Barrett racked up 252 total yards and four touchdowns in a Buckeye rout, though much of that damage came via the ground (19 for 139, 3 TD). It hurt to see him go out the way he did, and it hurts knowing his days in the Scarlet and Gray are over.
Even after everything that happened, ND was essentially 2 bad breaks/mistakes (Corey Robinson’s end-zone drop on a long bomb from Kizer at Clemson and Kizer’s fumble in the red zone before halftime at Stanford) from a 12-0 record and #1 seed in the playoff. More often than not, Notre Dame’s ballcarriers were taken down on first hit and that should be a welcome sight for Rutgers fans who watched the Scarlet Knights struggle to tackle in a 4-8 campaign this past fall. The personal foul negated the pick, and Powell was left to stew. A former two-star recruit, Powell has worked hard for four years to earn and keep a starting spot.
Throw in the fact Ohio State will be breaking in a ton of new starters on both sides of the ball and the likelihood of more close games is real.

Notre Dame would receive the kickoff to begin the game and it didn’t start well for them at all. In all fairness, it wasn’t his fault that he ended up matched up against Will Fuller, one of the country’s best wide receivers, on a crucial fourth quarter drive. After McCaffrey lined up as a slot back in the shotgun formation, Hogan found the sophomore on a slant route for a 75-yard touchdown pass 11 seconds after the opening kickoff. Conley is a solid player who can play better than he has at times this year.
