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.
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.
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.

As the #Buckeyes inched closer in a weird, low-scoring tussle with MSU, my mind wandered to Charles Bass off the glass. Turns out we got a Will Buford-like dagger from Dale Bonner. Either way, ding-dong the road losing streak is dead!
Make no mistake, that was a good, well-coached Maryland team #OhioState wiped out today on Senior Day. Kevin McGuff has a juggernaut and OSU hasn’t lost this calendar year. Next up: a little revenge game against TTUN and clinching the outright #B1G title.

Can’t think of a more appropriate way for her to break the record — at home in a meaningful Big Ten game from … DEEP. Congrats to a legend. instagram.com/reel/C3Y73Y6N3…
