Ohio State beats Notre Dame in Fiesta Bowl, 44-28

The Buckeyes would promptly march the ball down the field. “We had ample opportunity after that to play, but they played a tremendous game in all phases”.

Iraq forces extend Ramadi control, rescue civilians
Warplanes carried out nine air strikes near Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city, which fell to Islamic State fighters in 2014. Police chief Hadi Irzayij said the suspected militants “were attempting to flee Ramadi by blending in with civilians”.

Elliot gashed the Irish for two touchdowns in the final five minutes of the half, both of which he punched in from one yard out.

Ohio State’s senior class is now tied for being the winningest class in college football history. I want more of a balance, like we were in 2014.


Funerals held for Palestinians killed in months of violence
During that same period more than 15,000 Palestinians and 350 Israelis were wounded, the United Nations said on Wednesday. Police said the motive for the attack remained unclear, and little was known about the attacker who had his face covered.

Ohio State running back Ezekiel Elliott (15) gets past Notre Dame…

A short time later, he was taken to the locker room on a cart.

“We certainly needed to execute better”, Kelly said, “but (I) didn’t feel like we were outmanned”. However, its ending is not the way he or Buckeyes fans planned.

Meanwhile, in the deep field Ohio State showed a two-deep look but at the snap of the ball but then sent its strongside linebacker deep into a zone coverage. Keep playing Ohio State. Keep playing Ohio State, keep playing Florida State, keep playing Alabama, keep playing these teams in these kinds of venues, in these kinds of games. That lead reached 28-7, before Notre Dame rallied to cut the deficit to 28-21. Barrett found tight end Marcus Baugh wide open for a 27-yard gain to start the drive.

Knowing that they must answer, Notre Dame put together a nine play, 75 yard drive in just 1:19. “Guys are going to step up into big roles, and you’re going to see big-time players emerge”.

Notre Dame closed the gap to 28-14 at halftime with a 75-yard drive and a 1-yard scoring run by Kizer. We’ll get there. Hopefully we won’t have as many injuries.

“I don’t have any set date”, said Thomas, who led the Buckeyes with seven receptions for 72 yards. Kizer threw his first touchdown pass of the game to Chris Brown for a two yard touchdown and would find themselves only down 28-21 with a lot of game to go. Getting Jones back into action and seeing him play as effectively as he did should also send him into the off-season with the right mindset after so much time lost.

De’Veon Smith ran for 109 yards in the win as well.

MS 48, Oklahoma State 20: Chad Kelly threw for 302 yards and four touchdowns – three to Laquon Treadwell – and the No. 16 Rebels routed the No. 13 Cowboys in the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans.

There is a limit to the mindset that managed to keep Notre Dame sane, competitive and unsafe this season, despite dealing with a historic onslaught of injuries. He was picked off by Powell, who earlier had his interception called off after Bosa was flagged for targeting.

Ash introduced rugby-style tackling at Ohio State and probably will do so at Rutgers, where missed tackles have practically become the defense’s calling card over the last three years – especially when facing a spread offense. Notre Dame finished No. 8 in the final CFP rankings. I think the play, then the 15 yards is a significant chunk play.

Day played through the pain and had four tackles, one for loss, and a forced fumble. The same goes for the Four Horsemen, The Gipper, the magic of Rudy and Notre Dame’s return to the penthouse of college football as more than just a tease. The Irish were down 38-28 with over 12 minutes to go in the game.

The game was lopsided, mostly in the Buckeyes favor. Notre Dame could have also used the lanky junior in the redzone this season as they struggled to put 7 on the board instead of 3 far too often.

“Just like this game won’t define this team, one play doesn’t define a game”, Ferentz said.

Friday’s game, to the ire of the Irish, was an unfortunate microcosm of an adversity-stricken season.

He’s helped spark the running back renaissance in college football during his last two seasons with Ohio State, ones that have featured plenty of wins and plenty of highlight-reel plays. They may have a point.
