Big day for #B1GFootball, which is now 5-3 in the postseason after Michigan’s upset of Bama. Illinois is trying to keep it going but has a tough matchup with South Carolina. Washington is in a tight contest with Louisville. Penn State back in action tonight.
The TNF crew just praised the Niners RB for a “smart” play to slide down inside the 5 instead of scoring in a 5-point game and with Seattle still having all its timeouts about 1:30 to go. Problem is the Seahawks D then let Frisco score easily after that. Game wasn’t over, folks.
Best Buckeye Coverage pregame show coming up at noon on @610wtvnnews. We’ll talk Buckeyes/Hawkeyes but also are celebrating @loganjeff34 being inducted into the Hall of Fame. @CoachBillConley is with us and with @Roy_Hall coaching today, @RappUp is pinch hitting. Join us!!
Georgia had just 12 FDs & 25 minutes of possession while being outgained and allowing Kentucky to convert 9 of 16 third downs. Dawgs won 13-12; will remain atop the polls. Would Ohio State be afforded the same courtesy if they have a similar performance at MSU in 2 weeks? No way.
So weird to be this happy about a USC win — but this is the era of college football we’ve entered. Plus, any Big Ten victory over the SEC is appreciated.
@yvettemlaboy Uh @RappUp and I have a friend who would probably unlock the Varsity Club and pour himself a rum and Diet Coke around 7 or 7:30 am for a 4:30 pm start
Some added intrigue for First Four games tonight: One of the key players for Howard is 26-year-old former Buckeye Seth Towns. The Columbus native will be back in his home state playing in Dayton — while #OhioState is hosting an NIT game. Howard is a slight fave over Wagner.
@justnfields Justin, it was so enjoyable to cover your career at Ohio State and as a Buckeye myself, I am so proud of the way you have been a true pro and the class you’ve exuded when dealing with all the chaos and scrutiny that comes with the job. Excited to see your next chapter unfold.
Illinois 77, #OhioState 74 and the boxscore shows OSU with 27 fouls to UI’s 13. No impartial review of the game tape would prove that to be a just outcome.
