Eli Apple barely graces the defensive statistics (with an interception but only four tackles) because opposing quarterback target his receiver so infrequently.

Here’s what we know about the Ohio State quarterbacks: One is named Cardale Jones, the other J.T. Barrett. Without a designated starter at quarterback, the Ohio State offense seems to struggle when they face adversity. Mostly, Ohio State thumped Alabama on its way to the first national championship in the history of the sport, the Big Ten’s best besting the best of the SEC. Barrett threw an interception and had another would-be interception dropped in the end zone, but stayed in the rest of the way.
Jones went to the bench in the second quarter. The 3-0 Spartans, coming off a 35-21 home win over Air Force on Saturday, got seven first-place votes after receiving two last week. He has completed 55.6 % of his throws, with two touchdowns and three interceptions.
The Huskers may be the best 1-2 team in the country, which is still not a very good thing to be. Barrett completed 11 of 19 passes for 97 yards.
For Allen, the touchdown passes made up a bit for the two turnovers he committed to keep what was expected to be a blowout much reasonable close. With the offense lacking their usual spark and appearing to be completely out of sorts against NIU, Urban Meyer admitted that it may be time to pick a single starter and commit to him, which could be the understatement of the young college football season. It was the most points a Steve-Spurrier coached team has ever given up to Georgia. Ezekiel Elliott had 108 yards on 23 carries, but none longer than 13 yards.
This pending decision could be in a permanent role or simply adjusting their playing time from the first three games Should fans be confident that this decision will stick?
It was the second week in a row Ohio State scored a defensive touchdown and held its opponent under 100 yards passing. That led to a Huskies field goal and got Barrett warming up on the sideline. That is certainly a far cry from all the Big Ten-related jokes we used to hurl at the “three yards and a cloud of dust conference” only a few years ago. The Huskies had three more possessions but OSU’s defenses stopped them with the help of two quarterback sacks.
Auburn (2-1, 0-1), which needed overtime to avoid an upset by Jacksonville State a week earlier, trailed 24-0 at halftime and never threatened thereafter.
No. 9 UCLA at No. 16 Arizona.
“Offensively, their quarterback is setting all kinds of records”. Corey Davis had a great game as well, adding 139 yards and two TDs on six catches.
Fournette’s third touchdown, a 1-yard leap with 4:14 left in the third quarter, was his final carry of the day.
Game time: Ohio State announced the time of its game at Indiana on October. 3.
Willoughby nailed a 24-yard field goal for a 13-10 lead with 8:27 left in the third quarter.
Michigan State and Ohio State will play one another on November. 21 down in the Horseshoe in Columbus, Ohio, but until then, just about anything can happen. Backup quarterback Tim Boyle, the holder, fluttered a soft pass over the middle, but Missouri safety Anthony Sherrils intercepted the pass and returned it 50 yards to UConn’s 37-yard line. An odd game featured two Badgers defenders ejected for targeting, and a brief fourth-quarter delay for an errant fire alarm.

The referee ruled it a touchdown and the tide of the game turned from that point. “I’m not okay with five turnovers and lacking execution and not being able to control the line of scrimmage, because that’s a recipe for failure, at some point you’ll fail miserably”.
