MSU has advanced to next Saturday night’s Big Ten Championship Game against the Iowa Hawkeyes. Despite the loss, there is still a scenario where the Spartans are one of the final four.

Penn State coach James Franklin acknowledged as much following his worst loss at Penn State. With that awesome scenario now discussed, we move on…
Michigan State will play in the Big Ten title game for the third time in five seasons. Those will include either the Cotton or Orange (the two early playoff bowls), or the Rose and then one of the Fiesta or Peach. The Spartans will face undefeated Iowa.
“I mean, our whole football team, all 115 players who were out there dressed, felt that energy”.
The Spartans finished tied atop the Big Ten East with Ohio State, and Michigan State upset the Buckeyes last weekend with Cook on the sideline.
Ohio State needs a miracle.
“To be completely honest, I haven’t looked into any of that”, he said.
“It all starts up front, ” Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer said.
It’s all there for you, Michigan State.
“I think we had to get that hurting feeling out of us”. Facing the second-best defense in the nation, the Buckeyes rushed for a season-high 369 yards and five touchdowns. “The upper-tier teams in this conference, we’ve gotta close the gap on them”. His father, Jason, is a former MI quarterback and his grandfather on his mother’s side is former MI defensive back Tom Curtis, but Chad united the Wolverines and their biggest rivals. “Regardless of the year, as we come into it, there are a lot of big wins, there’s big road wins, there’s big home wins”.
Something about those Gamecocks (3-9) against ACC teams.
Jack displayed some quickness to the edge as he rumbled his way to the end zone and even managed to a stiff-arm a Penn State player.
Can they beat Clemson? “We just have to learn from it and get better”. “I just take practice one day at a time, really just try to get better and push my teammates”. So if UNC beats Clemson, I think the Big Ten gets two in the playoff. That line was out before the Buckeyes muddled around through their regular season before eventually losing to Michigan State. Just preparation. We were prepared and we wanted this one.
Michigan State may have ended the national champions’ quest to repeat by beating the Nittany Lions 55-16 and earning a spot in next week’s title game against Iowa.
It was a rough earlier part of the week for OSU after the Michigan State loss, especially Elliott, who questioned the play calling and announced that was his game game at Ohio Stadium. That is going to happen. If we’re only looking at when their offenses were on the field, it’s more like 11.7 yards. We had to win it – if we were going to win it, it wasn’t going to be given to us. Because I don’t want to mislead people. Wait, I mean all season. We closed quite a bit of ground. “We’ve been able to get pressure against pretty much everybody all year long. It would truly have to be an extraordinary situation”. Allen said in response before being drowned out by a laughing press conference.
“I’m very proud of the team the way they’ve worked and the way they’ve progressed”, Harbaugh said. “My response is, that’s not good enough”.
“We’re playing our best football down the stretch”, Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio said after his team dominated Penn State, 55-16.
Jake Rudock passed for 263 yards and a touchdown and Jehu Chesson caught the ball eight times for 111 yards and a touchdown in the defeat for the Wolverines (9-3, 6-2 Big Ten).
But consider this: Betting expert R.J. Bell said that Ohio State was favored by 16 points during futures betting lines released back in June.

Along with some of the uncommitted targets, MI also had a few of the committed prospects in town to help recruit some of their peers.
