In an ugly game where the personal foul and unsportsmanlike conduct flags where flying all game long, Michigan held Sparty to under 100 yards of offense. Michigan should have put the game away during the 2nd qtr where it seemed like they started their possessions in Sparty territory but came away empty handed. Another Saturday, another 'Bama beat down. The 'Bama offense set a record of most points scored against the Vols in that rivalry. The battle of 2 of the remaining Power 5 unbeatens was over the moment Clemson ran down the stadium to touch Howard's Rock. The most significant item to come out of LSUs man handling of Miss State is one of their top defensive players will be out for the first half of the showdown with 'Bama in two weeks due to a late 4th qtr targeting call. RIP Pac-12 2018 playoff chances. Purdue absolutely exposed THE Ohio State University. THE Ohio State University does not have the run offense or the defense to win a game if their passing attack is stifled.

Maybe Urban Meyer or a few of his coaches had a bad week with their wives/girlfriends.

OSU looked inept. Purdue had their number and other teams will emulate Purdue’s game plan.

Your analysis of OSU is spot on. I’ll add that Haskins has no mobility, if the pocket begins to collapse he’s cooked. Highly overrated team. I say just give the trophy to Alabama as they are in a league of their own. The Buckeyes are fortunate in a sense that they didn’t run a weak Big 10 only to be mauled by Alabama in January.

Wisconsin Badgers play Perdue November 17th. You can BET this game film will be gone over again and again and again between now and then by Coach, Players AND Fans!

I can’t stand Ohio State, so it was a fun game to watch! :)

Uh-oh Ohio state fans. Urb is going to get heart palpitations and a constricted esophagus and bail due to “health concerns.” Then he will retire to spend more time with his family and fellow staff at ESPN.

OSU looked and and played hapless and uninspired. Purdue played with a full head of steam. They didn’t earn the nick name Spoilermakers for nothing.

Hail Purdue.

Urban Meyer is one helluva good recruiter and when he’s on his game, his teams are mentally and physically tough. But....as a Gator I can tell y’all he is also mentally/psychologically fragile and is prone to cracking suddenly or burning out. It happened at UF and its been happening at Ohio State with blowout losses to unranked Iowa last year and unranked Purdue this year. I expect him to suddenly retire again soon. 7 years is the longest he has been at one school in his whole career.

It’s a game. Sometimes you win sometimes you don’t

Watching my Clemson Tigers often takes years off my life. Yesterday was a nice change of pace from that.

I do not understand why Prince is still playing. He does nothing!

Ohio State... it’s one thing to be upset by a last second score by a conference member that just plays way above its level while you have an off day and never get in synch. But to lose by 29 to an unranked unheralded Purdue?! To say OSU wasn’t ready to play is the understatement of the season. Congratulations to the Boilermakers!

Iowa score 52 points against OSU last year, about this time.

A joke is calling the basketball ACC a power 5 conference in football. The ACC schools are terrible teams football teams, playing no much better than Div 2 teams. Clemson is the only team in the ACC that plays half-way decent football, but no way in hell they should get a reserved spot in the BCS for playing a bunch of cupcakes year in and year out. If Clemson were in the SEC, preferably the SEC West, where they belong, their cakewalk to the BCS is over. They would actually have to play tough teams that can beat your ass every single weekend.
Clemson is not in the SEC because they would have to play Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Auburn, Miss State and other tough ass teams each and every week. Let’s see them go 12-0 or 12-1 each and every year. It ain’t happening.
