Kept waiting for the Buckeyes to go up-tempo on offense in an attempt to shake out of their rut, but not only didn’t it happen, OSU went with an empty backfield at times in the second half with Ezekiel Elliott apparently dealing with a cut on his right calf. I’m disappointed in the situation we were put in.
With 12:03 left to play in the fourth quarter, sophomore running back Gerald Holmes, who is not listed on the Spartans’ two-deep depth chart, took a handoff up the middle and extended the ball across the goal line for a touchdown that drew MI State even with Ohio State, 14-14. Moreover, Elliot – a contender for Heisman Trophy – had only 12 carries throughout the game, 33 yards overall.
Quarterback Cardale Jones also suggested on Twitter that he would be leaving Ohio State at the end of the year.
COLUMBUS, OH – MI State pulled off one of the most important and improbable upsets in school history, defeating Ohio State 17-14 Saturday at Ohio Stadium.
Notre Dame made itself at home in Boston College territory. Three of the turnovers were inside the BC 5. “There’s only so many times you can do that”.
Someone remind the Buckeyes their season didn’t officially end Saturday night.
“For the most part it was tough sledding throwing the ball”, Meyer said. “Got to win it”. That all got Geiger into range for the final points as time expired.

“We focused on the moment and when we finally got the moment we played hard”, Dantonio said. “Around the two-minute mark, I was like, “Oh yeah”. So we have to take that into account when assessing this performance.
The Tar Heels (10-1, 7-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) won their 10th in a row and clinched the Coastal Division title for the first time. If Iowa wins the B1G title game, they are in the playoff. “Every big game we’re in, we’re always expected to lose, and feel like surprise a lot of people and make a lot of people look foolish”. Barrett completed only 9-of-16 throws for 46 yards and a touchdown.

The third quarter was much of the same, as 8:37 into the quarter the Buckeyes only tallied six total yards and the Spartans only 44. Both ranked ahead of MI State in the Week 11 CFP rankings, and either could hold off Sparty behind Clemson, Notre Dame and Alabama. UM was officially eliminated from contention with their in-state rival’s win.
