This year, considering all the drama at the beginning of the season, taking on a 13th game would be impressive. Alongside Bosa on the Ohio State defensive line is tackle Adolphus Washington, who is likely to be a top 50 selection.

Last week, against Northern IL, the Buckeyes struggled mightily in several capacities. IN went wire-to-wire with the Buckeyes in Bloomington. Even Maryland and Minnesota, each under.500, made Urban Meyer’s team look a bit suspect.
But there’s no apology coming, nor should there be.
Meyer said that he and his assistants have spent an “inordinate” amount of time this season sorting out the quarterback situation. Barrett and the rest of the offense couldn’t get into the rhythm they had during the games against Penn State and Rutgers. Provides more motivation to us.
Failing to score after having a first down from the 3 on the first series wasn’t the finest moment for either the officiating crew or the front five, which could have prevented any replay reviews by simply getting better push on the goal line.
Ohio State hung 49 points on the Spartans last season. Until further notice, the Big Ten belongs to the Buckeyes.
Do Style Points Even Matter in College Football? It will continue the following week with a November 28 date with MI, which could ultimately serve as a play-in game for this season’s Big Ten title game. Nebraska went on to beat MI State.
Ohio State just wins – always. “But I’m excited for it. I’m excited to see where we’re at”.
Meyer, though, said the heat no longer bothers him, calling it “water off the duck’s back”.
CHAMPAIGN – As kids a million years before Little League, we met at the lot and chose sides.
Nobody’s flawless in college football, regardless of record. UCLA (7-3 SU, 3-5-1 ATS) went off as 11.5-point home chalk Saturday against Washington State, but tumbled 31-27. No. 2 Alabama has lost a game.
MSU QB hails from state of Ohio. This was the biggest win for Sooners coach Bob Stoops in so long, we have to wonder if Stoops is an elite coach anymore. But forget that for now – the Sooners are 9-1, and they have a shot, at 8-1 Baylor’s expense, to rise up into the playoff mix. For the season, OSU is allowing just 225 yards and 12.3 points a game. “He brings a physicality to the running back position”.
Week: OR 38, No. 7 Stanford 36.
Ohio State: Jaquan Lyle, replacing National Basketball Association first-round draft pick D’Angelo Russell at point guard for the Buckeyes, was not flashy but certainly got the job done setting up his teammates.
The Illini sprang Josh Ferguson for a 27-yard burst in the second quarter but were held to minus yardage on the other 24 attempts. (He should be back soon.) His team slobbered all over itself in a silly performance against an 0-10 Jayhwaks team. Are the 9-1 Horned Frogs done trying?
Connor Cook: I think Taiwan Jones might have gotten in on that one. Rudock delivered, throwing for 440 yards and (hello) six touchdowns. Scoring pass No. 4 came on fourth-and-goal on the tying drive that forced overtime in the waning seconds of regulation.
Ben Axelrod is Bleacher Report’s Big Ten lead writer. “People are just not giving us the respect, we like being in the situation that we’re in, you know we like being the underdog because the majority of the time we come out on top, so we’re going to embrace it and be ready to go, that’s for sure”, said Cook.
COLUMBIA, S.C. – True freshman running back Jordan Cronkite accounted for two touchdowns and Florida delivered a strong defensive effort while recording a victory over SC. It also came up empty on two trips to the red zone.

Up: No. 23 North Carolina. The Tar Heels’ ranking is ridiculous.
