As if its 00. You know why . Hes coaching for the future. What if they do get into the playoffs . If they dont, they have a bowl game. What about next year . Every play counts. Gus first down and ten at the 40. And Melvin Gordon gets ambushed. Wow. Hard hitting going on this time, mcmillan. Charles tonight, hes wearing number 2 because he and jeff heuerman, who is wearing 5 on offense, but plays some of the same special teams. No matter what number, mcmillan, bigtime play on Melvin Gordon there. And heuerman, wearing 5, in honor of Braxton Miller. He wore it all year for him, except on senior day. Urban meyer, coaching him up. Gus second and nine. Stave underneath. He has fumagalli again. Charles you mentioned earlier, the rotation of defensive linemen, ohio state ran in three freshmen. Talent is deep in columbus. Gus under urban meyer, ohio state is one win away from becoming the first big ten team to ever win 12 or more games in 3consecutive seasons. Theyre 425, in november, under meyer. And december, since 2003. The best mark among coaches in division i. Whirring noise. ] bells. [drill whirring noise. ] bells. [drill whirring noise. ] all the way. Get this bosch router or lithium ion drill for 99 at lowes. Gus nine minutes to go in the fourth quarter. If youre thinking that, you know, the flipping could come between ohio state, tcu and baylor, are you saying at three, tcu could potentially be moved out of the top four . Charles theyre the only one that has the chance of vulnerability. Baylors loss was headtohead in their own conference to tcus loss was to baylor. That could potentially happen. But i think you have to weigh what the conference strength is going to be, too. The committee has a very difficult job. Gus derek watt, the fullback, the intended receiver. Charles i would be surprised to find out that the conference strength rankings wouldnt favor the big 12. Gus what a lot of people are talking about in College Football, is that this is a great idea this, playoff format. But youre going to have to move it to eight teams. Charles they start calling for eight quickly. One of the top conference commissioners floats it out there before the seasons over, John Swafford of the acc, it will gain traction quicker than what people believe. Gus wisconsin going for it on fourth down and four. Stave. With pressure, over the middle. Its xaugt. Heres erickson. And Alex Erickson with a nice run after the catch. He gets to the ohio state 25. Charles how about stave in the pocket, able to move around. Keep the play alive. Deliver the strike to erickson downfield. And lets face it. We talked about pride before, correct . Gus uhhuh. Charles you think wisconsin wants to go away from here with no points on the board . They are playing their hardest to put this football in the end zone. Gus wisconsin projected for the peach or maybe the citrus bowl. First down and ten, at the 27. Erickson in motion. Heres the play fake. And erickson has it stripped. And its picked up by a badger. Charles pressure has come up the gut most of the night. And it doesnt get michael bennett, popped the ball free from stave. Look at washington, 92, also there. The two defensive tackles have applied increasing pressure as the evening has gone on. The ends have gotten a lot of attention, led by joey bosa. And tackles bigtime tonight. Gus at the 43. And heres the run. I think its important to mention that this Ohio State Defense has extra incentive. Thats because kosta karageorge, the 22yearold member of the ohio state team. His funeral was held this past wednesday. With 600 teammates in attendance. The wrestler and Football Player was known for his yeah, baby shout before his football practice, even though he never got into a game. He was found dead last sunday, 4 1 2 days after he left his columbus apartment, just south of ohio states campus at 2 00 a. M. Third and 23. Stave. Incomplete. Fumagalli, the intended receiver. Police said that karageorge died of a selfinflicted gunshot wound. His family says he suffered from several concussions. And he sents his family a text just before he was seen for the last time, that complained about what concussions had done to his mental state. Charles sad situation for all involved. I found it heartening that he was a firstyear walkon thaao this team was embraced. He wasnt a guy that no one knew. The whole team knew him. Gus they would love to give him a shutout. Heres the long pass. Grant, up the sidelines. Still running. Grant, out of bounds. And for stave, its not his fault. Hes just taken on a Team Hellbent on sending a message, as well as playing for one of their comrades. Charles grants second interception of the evening. Being congratulated by his coaches, at the sidelines. Dunn comes in the backfield for the buckeyes. Jones, gives it to dunn. And dunn will pick up about a yard on the play. Marcus trotter jumped on top of his back and brought him down. And the defense, tonight, theyve done everything right. No points allowed. Only 240 yards in total offense. Three sacks, as well. Charles at the end of the season last year, Michigan State wore them down in the second half. Watching that game, we had a couple shots of ohio state players, bent over. Hands on knees. Not tonight. Theyve been a physical force right from the beginning. Gus the handoff to dunn. And the bigger question surrounding ohio state and the quarterback position. Braxton miller, injured. Shoulder. Couldnt play this season. J. T. Barrett comes in. Has an incredible year. Breaks his ankle against michigan. Now, Cardale Jones comes in. And looks like Johnny Unitas off the bench. There were rumors that Braxton Miller could be headed to oregon. He has graduated and has an additional year. And marcus mariota, they say he will be headed to the nfl. Charles nobody will confirm anything like that because oregon cant be accused of tampering if its there. Gus they keep it on the ground. Charles you have Braxton Miller rehabbing. J. T. Barrett rehabbing. The healthy quarterback is Cardale Jones. You could go into spring practice with all three and figure out who is going to win the job to be the Ohio State Buckeyes quarterback. Gus with this production and this kind of film, now, on Cardale Jones, i know this may be a tough question to ask, charles. But does he stay . Can all three stay . Will all three stay . Charles the answer is yes. A lot of that will be determined by health and by how they feel about the program and being there. A lot of guys like being around a winning program. Cardale jones will have additional time to be at ohio state after Braxton Millers gone. The question for him is going to be, he and j. T. Barrett. And so far, it seems like a very good quarterback room. They seem to get along fine. Gus they say that j. F. Barrett, the team ran smoother with him under center. Now, i think hell have to think about that a bit. Who was number one to begin with . Gus Braxton Miller . Charles it typically comes down to that guy. Gus dunn out of bounds at the 15. And a flag. Chrlts a Little Something extra at the end of the run. Dunn hit while he was out of bounds. Referee after the play was over, personal foul, defense number 58. Half the distance to the goal. First down. Charles dunn, finishing the run. Schobert pushes him. And gives him a Little Something extra. And hes already on the sidelines. Its been a frustrating night for wisconsin, hnlt it . Gus it has. Charles and its tough. Joe schobert has had a terrific year playing outside linebacker. Tonight is one of those nights they want to forget. Gus samuel in the backfield, now. Steps it up. And samuel will fall forward, inside the 5. One things for sure, regardless of what happens at the end of this season, Cardale Jones, by virtue of guiding this ohio state team, years to come, we will see that Cardale Jones will own a stockbroker company, a dealership. An elementary school. Charles are you saying the alums will not forget tonight . Gus this kid has the world in the palm of his hands, in the state of ohio. So proud and happy for this man. Charles a great job coming out of glendale high school. Talk playing for coach ted ginn sr. And coach ginn having confidence in him. Referee offsides, defense, number 45. Half the distance to the goal. Remains second down. Gus coach ginn, no emotion. He knew. He told our molly mcgrath. Charles molly said she wasnt able to put in the report. But she had told me that coach ginn had told her what about his weaknesses . He said, nothing to talk about that. Thats not going in the atmosphere. Hes going to play well. Thats a coach who knows his players, isnt it . Gus thats right. Cardale jones, not recruited by urban meyer. Heres a handoff to samuel. Touchdown. I would have recruited you, cardale. Charles i dont think he recruited alex smith, either. That worked out well at utah. Gus sure did. Nuernberger. 590. Wow. In your hand . My at t cell phone bill. Verizon bill . Yeah. Thats cool. Nooo. How much are you spending per month . 110 bucks just me, 120 bucks 260 what if sprint could cut your rate plan in half . And give you unlimited talk and text in the u. S. , and match your data.

Ohio state, 2 25 away from winning the big ten championship game. Here, in indianapolis. This ball, kicked out of bounds. And that will give coach meyer Something Else to get on one of his players about. They played so well. Referee number 39. Ball will be placed at the 35 yard line. First down. Gus all right. Lets take a look at the kay jewelers, diamond moment of the game. Charles it started early, isnt it . Cardale jones, on the first drive of the game. Finds devin smith, with the initial touchdown pass of the evening. And he, and the buckeyes, were out of the sprinters block and off to the races. Gus urban meyer, 50 years old. And only his third season. Hes going to improve to 241, versus big ten opponents. Versus big ten opponents. First down and ten at the 35. And they hand it off to Corey Clement. And talking about coach meyer and what hes done during his career. Charles i think the thing that jumps out at me, is never fewer than eight wins in a season. Hes been at bowling green, utah, and now, ohio state. When he took over bowling green, they werent exactly a power. Never have fewer than eight wins. Each and every year for urban meyer. Gus second and six, at the 39. Heres stave, the play fake. Stave, over the middle. Incomplete. And urban tells an interesting story. When he was being looked at by bowling green, he went to coach holtz and said, i dont know if you can really build a program at bowling green. And coach holtz said, youre right. Thats why theyre calling you. Charles excellent point made by coach holtz. Luke fickell, was the interim head coach, that urban meyer took over for. And agreed to stay as the defensive coordinator. Thats something that urban meyer did soulsearching about. Do you want the guy that was the head coach to be on staff with you. That worked out well. This game, championship game, Michigan State. Bowl game against clemson. They had to spend extra time getting the defense ready. Gus theyre getting ready for the gatorade shower for coach meyer. Watch out. Charles thats what they brought him here for. To win championships. And he doesnt go anywhere, unless theyre vying for a championship. Gus a minute remaining. Stave. Doe steps out of bounds, inside ohio state territory. Take another look. Watch his face. Charles he knew it was coming. When they doubleteamed him like that. Hes won enough championships to know, the doubleteam tackle, setting him up for the big splash. Somewhere Harry Carsons grinning, isnt he . Didnt i start that . Gus yes, he is. Coach meyer, would you say hes a man of few waords, charles. Charles he gets to the point. He doesnt want to chitchat, either. Gus stave over the middle. Knocked down. Welldefended for ohio state. Thats cam burrows, backup safety. Melvin gordon, tonight, didnt have one of his 150plus evenings. 76 yards rushing on 26 carries. Tough game for the badgers. Joey bosa, who urban got all the way from ft. Lauderdale. Buckeyes, allsmiles. And they deserve it. This is a heck of a football team. Wow. Stave, to the sideline. Nice catch. Looks like doe, again. With 42 seconds left. The badgers will fight to the very end. They want to make sure they put some points on the board. Charles proud program. The moment that Barry Alvarez landed, from him, to bret biele bielema, to gary anderson, a lot to be proud of. Gus play fake, stave. Incomplete. Tried to hit Corey Clement on a wheel route. Stopped the clock with 36 seconds remaining. Charles that works both ways. The team, earlier this year, upset when they let a team score late and gave up a shutout. Gus only loss of the season for ohio state, 3521, to virginia tech. When they lost that game, week two, you never thought that they would actually be at this point in the season, ranked number five, with a chance to go to the playoffs. Charles people had written off, not just ohio state, but the big ten. I was not one of them, the whole time. Gus incomplete, on the far side. Erickson, couldnt hold on. Charles i dont know how you can write off a an entire league. You dont know how theyre going to play the rest of the year. Gene smith, the athletic director, down there, congratulating coach meyer. He hired coach meyer, after coach tressel had to leave. Gus third down and ten at the 33. At the 35. We have to mention this. And i probably shouldnt, charles. Jim tressel was a pretty good coach. Theres a vacancy in ann arbor. And let bygones be bygones. Gus 11 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. And wisconsin trying to get points on the board before this one ends. Ohio state fans, they want the shutout. Up 590. Fourth down and ten. Stave, dancing in the pocket. Stave, in trouble. Stave, drops it out. Clement. And clement, picks up the first down. But the clock runs out. And thats it. The final score from indianapolis, ohio state, 59, wisconsin, 0. Urban meyer wins his first big ten championship game, as the head coach of ohio state. 590. We got a lot more to come, right after this. The most amazing thing about the ford fusion isnt the way it looks. The most amazing thing . Is the way it sees. With blind spot technology, a lanekeeping system and a standard rearview camera, the fusion is ready for whatever comes your way. Go prepared. Go further. Dad . What a surprise.

New rolled chicken tacos, tasty shredded chicken all rolled up with your choice of dips. Only at taco bell. [sfx bong] welcome to the geico big ten championship postgame, on fox. Rarely has carmen, ohio, sounded so sweet to buckeye faithful. A 590 victory in the big ten championship game. Urban meyer, winning his first big ten title, as a head coach. He was a tight end coach in 1986, when they had a share of the big ten title. A lot to get to regarding ohio state, the College Football playoff picture. The trophy presentation. Mvp presentation. You know were going to hear from urban meyer. We heard from head coaches already tonight. Some politicking. And some bickering going on in texas. A lot to get to. Lets get to a moment. Molly mcgrath, moments to go, with devin smith on the field. After losing in the big ten title game last year, how much does it mean to come back and win this especially in this fashion . It means a lot. We worked extremely hard after that game was over. You know, the whole month leading up to this game, we had to come back and win. We work hard every day, like i said. And we wanted to come here and win. You caught a careerhigh three touchdowns. What was working for you on that offense, led by Cardale Jones . We had confidence in him. I played with cardale back in high school, in an allstar game. We knew what he was about. We knew how the defense was going to play. We watched him all week. Just executed very well. Entering this game, the buckeyes were fifth in the College Football playoff rankings. How does this win state your case to the Playoff Committee . We can play against anybody. And we just go out and do our jobs. Congratulation. Thank you. All right, molly, thank you. Remember in the pregame show, we had all of the love for the wisconsin offensive line. One of the top o lines throughout the history of College Football. On this day, on this night, indianapolis, ohio state set the tone. Those five guys had to set the tone. T
