columbus everybody on a cold dreary day we're ready for a pretty good football game if you think it doesn't mean much to both these teams look at what happened about 25 minutes ago before the teams went to the locker room for the final time a little bit of a rumble broke out that was earlier now we're just about set for the game itself ohio state's got an opportunity still to go to the rose bowl if they win today and if they get help from michigan state against penn state later on this afternoon as i bring in my ringside boxing analyst bob griese greece you've been in these kind of things before rivalry games are something special and you never forget them and they are special it's not the records but the emotions that count in this ball game the players play for themselves obviously and for their families but more than that for all the alumni and in this case for the entire state well you know michigan i'm sure the kids have heard all week at three and eight that they have no chance to win this football game do they for michigan to win it's it's big plays and takeaways offensively they're not strong enough to march the ball down the field they need big plays defensively they've got to take the ball away from the ohio state and special teams they got to win that to get good field position so their offense doesn't have to go the whole way speaking of the wolverines stacy dales is down where the team's about ready to come out well brad i'm here with the team i was a hundred feet up the tunnel with this michigan group their coaches just told them to hold up that's how eager they are to get on this field they were supposed to wait a couple more minutes before they got out here but i'm standing in the end zone with these players and i talked to them this week defensive coordinator scott schaefer said we're ready to go you can throw all the records in boulder locations out the window we come to play this game every year and their senior cornerback starter morgan trent told me the reason i came to this university is to play in this game brad they're ready to go the michigan wolverines and the ohio state buckeyes coming up for the 105th time our kickoff soon but right now we go to times square studio and john saunders john brad thanks a lot college football making some strange bedfellows on this day michigan state will actually be pulling for

get set for ohio state and michigan before we do it's a great day for pneumonia let's go to paul mcguire hey brad it's not so bad you know i've done a game here from the scoreboard and also from the press box from the stands and so today i thought well i'd get on the cart with a little espresso and watch the game but i didn't realize the intensity in this ball game you saw it at the beginning with michigan going right face-to-face with ohio state i'm telling you before this game started when these guys were warming up they weren't even talking to each other not even patting each other on the back they didn't say a word until they saw ohio state this is going to be a heck of a football game you want to talk about hidden you're about to see it all right stay warm paul jim dressle trying for five straight his team won the toss they will receive that's not something we normally see anymore james lawrence one of 27 seniors playing his final game at the horseshoe today rich rodriguez first time he's been here since a jv game when he played for west virginia back in the day it's going to be a little different feeling this afternoon lamar thomas is decked at about the 22-yard line 19-yard return and that's where ohio state will go to work offensively take a look at our impact players brought to you by best buy we mentioned james laurenitis one of the greats to ever play here his sidekick right next to him marcus freeman and in the back end the leader malcolm jenkins he can block punts he can steal passes first time i think we've ever had three impact players all on defense but that's what those guys are first down terrell pryor and company set up at the 22-yard line beanie wells behind him fakes the handoff to beanie and he'll keep it himself pryor with that stiff arm that patented stiff arm for a freshman got it out of pickup about three stevie brown made the stop and he is our city x factor terrell pryor bob it's the first time a guy has pretty much played the entire season as a true freshman since art schleister back in the late 70s and and the thing that michigan wants to do is not let him get outside the pocket which is pretty much impossible to stop him from doing he is 6-6 brad you mentioned that stiff arm that's the first guy i've seen in a long time that brought him down on the perimeter one-on-one he got three second down and seven the tight end nickel in motion now it's wells and he's hit for a loss that'll fire up the michigan defense will johnson one of their captains makes the stop our key matchup today you know beanie wells is always going to be involved when there's keys to a ball game he averages 120 a game missed three with that foot injury michigan's defense allows about 128 a game that time they dropped him for a loss so it brings up our first third down third and along seven third in the big ten ohio states in their third down efficiency and prior will work from the shotgun with three wide receivers looking down the middle waiting and firing late but he got it there complete it's a first down throw out to the 38-yard line dan satzenbacher pick up a 13. michigan went to a three-man line and doesn't get much of a pass rush and pryor has all kinds of time look at the big hole steps up and he's got great vision and just waits for sanzenbacher to run the curl first down you know there was actually perfect coverage on that play and i mean that was just an excellent play by sansenbacher he went up and got it at the 39-yard line rubiski in motion on first down and pryor rolling left throwing that way and it's intercepted picked off stevie brown down the sideline well that's what i said brad in the opening big plays and takeaways and that's what michigan defensively needed what a huge way for that small group up there in the left end zone to get a cheer on a stevie brown with the interception he just goes to rose to the right and he just under throws the ball he had somebody right in his face and probably never saw the defensive back brown grace that was brandon graham who just came up the field and just threw the tackle right at prior so michigan's got a great opportunity on the road to strike first first down at the ohio state 13-yard line tough sledding a yard or two and now we've got a little altercation going on no penalty markers down malcolm jenkins remember you saw him in the middle of that pile when there was the rumble 25 minutes before the game and he comes out swinging on greg matthews it's getting chippy early and i think he just got warned one more of those and you'll be saying goodbye that's exactly right because this big ten crew of officials knows that this is a rivalry game they know the emotions are high nick sheridan again in the gun on second down here comes a blitz off the corner he'll run it up the middle and he's gonna be stuffed a loss of two nader abdallah made the stop for ohio states this is a critical series for michigan brad as you mentioned if they can make they get in and get a touchdown here this could go a long way the momentum of this ball game and the confidence for michigan brandon miner and carlos brown with sheridan in the shotgun third down and 10. they can get a first down inside the three crowd deafening for this ohio state defense and a flag down mark ortman the left tackle jumped early this is going to make it really tough on him [Applause] now what you don't want to do is take any kind of loss because it's not a chip shot field goal here either you know another thing brad is you can't allow these offensive linemen to just sit there for a long period of time you've got to get the play get up and get going let's see if they can get going as they're backed up now to the 18-yard line [Applause] sheridan asking for the ball throws left side nobody home laura nidis with a big hit after the throw the michigan's not going to beat ohio state by throwing on third and 13 14 yards here comes laura nidis from the outside it's a free shot and he took it i'd say hey silapada will try a 35-yard field goal as i said no chip shot here on a cold day kick on the way and it's no good michigan blew an opportunity to score first whoa it's heating up in the first five minutes of the ball game at the shoot you're watching espn on abc [Music] i'm gonna grab a light beer rolling yeah beer fills me up hang on fills

espn's presentation of college football on abc presented in high definition from the horseshoe sold out and i'm telling you there's not much maize and blue in this building right now [Applause] and ohio states had a turnover that didn't cost them points michigan's defense fired up on beanie wells tim jameson with a hit and a loss on the play again big ten standings coming in look like this penn state and michigan state play in a game most of you will see on abc following ours if penn state wins they're going to the rose bowl michigan state beats penn state and ohio state wins this one they're going to pasadena ohio state's going yeah yes now michigan state of course lost to ohio state a game we brought you earlier this year and that's the reason that they would get the nod over michigan state should the spartans win later today loss of a yard second down and 11. and a whistle stops play and i think michigan took a timeout they might have had not enough on the field or yeah thompson went over just yelling at uh some of the coaches over there on the sideline grace one of the things that's happened they're not getting the signals in they're not getting them on offense fast enough and they're not getting them on defense the reason they were holding off paul is because ohio state offensively substituted real late and michigan wanted to match whatever ohio state was going to do with what they wanted to do defensively john thompson is a senior terence taylor a senior will johnson a senior they're all in that huddle over there and what you really don't want to do on national television is go over and start barking at your coaches and it it's getting chippy even on your own sideline right now that was charles stewart who was doing all the yak ending on the sideline the defense has done their part ohio status had one series and they picked off a pass set up the offense on the 13-yard line which they couldn't get it in [Applause] prior here comes a blitz he's trying to get away from it giving ground and throwing and throwing it away he did a nice job again the stiff arm out there he'd have been dropped way back at the four-yard line [Applause] so pryor running for his life and as bob said michigan is doing their job well michigan like we said big plays and takeaways and for ohio state they are the better team they are at home they need just to be dominant go out and play their game and they can beat michigan but not if they give the ball away like they did on their first possession they find themselves in another long yardage situation as well third down at 11. [Applause] wells insane there with prior who took a low snap from center deep out got to the sideline and ohio state's got a punch yeah they've got pryor rattled a little bit interception on his first possession and now he doesn't get anything done on his second and they they're they're got him rattled a little bit well grace what they're doing is they're coming right up the middle at him they are not allowing him to set in the pocket at all so now he has to throw the ball way before he wants to and it puts aj trapasso back inside his own five-yard line martavius odums is back deep high wobbly kick odom's with a fair catch and diving forward and dropped it ohio state's got it marcus freeman one of our impact players i didn't think you could have this much action in five minutes without a score that's good you know this i'll tell you what that ball the wind got the ball and dropped it straight down he really had no chance of catching the football get out of the way get away from it it's ken odoms is one of 30. either freshman he's a freshman a true freshman are walk-ons that is on this travel roster here today for michigan marcus freeman he and lauren itis inseparable and they play special teams michigan's turnover margins getting worse ohio state first down at its own 49. end of round possibly no prior keeps it and michigan again does a nice job he might have gotten two but they stayed home and brandon harrison made the tackle hey sorry i'm standing here watching this it was one of the most beautiful fakes pryor just fakes the ball and tim jameson number 90 the defensive end just runs right by him doesn't even see the ball it was absolutely perfect you can see it developing from up here the only thing higher than our booth is the goodyear blimp and you can see that one coming a mile away from here there you go that's an even better shot of it thanks guys that is the shot well you guys are just a little bit above that aren't you yeah just a little right on the midfield stripes second down and eight prior the play fake sets gonna go deep got a man out there just over shot brian hartline oh and he had him too heartline had about two steps on stevie brown [Applause] of course brown's made a big play already today on the interception of and a double post route this man right here is going to go across and he's trying to hit hit the inside postman just throws it you see he's got it if he throws it to the sideline do it too far down the field prior right now one for five with an interception third down and eight this is pryor's first rivalry game huh they're going to blitz pryor has time pumps twice now he's going to go down the 45-yard line brandon graham with his 10th sack of the year i'm going to tell you so you guys got to look at this when you take a look at it look at the number of white shirts that are going to be around prior when they hit him he has really no place to throw the ball well watch these guys on the defense they don't stop now when it's about time when they hit him there's one two three four five six guys well that paul that's one area that michigan is dominant and that's in the defensive line second straight three and out trapasso to punt greg matthews is back for michigan more experienced as a return man maybe than otums he holds on to it anyway he got tattooed pretty well over there at the 25-yard line and again they mix it up a little bit no score in columbus you're watching espn on abc [Music] i'm sorry my signing still isn't very good i learned a new sign to show you merry christmas

to 25 out to about the 26-yard line let's take a look at our best buy impact players for the michigan wolverines brandon miner he's going to have to be big today leads the team in touchdowns with brandon graham hey he already had a sack on the last series and ube is their leading tackler sheridan play fake wide receiver screen that didn't develop very well [Applause] odoms with the catch he had mike massey one of the captains out there but that ball was really too close to the defender when he threw it out there michigan goes with the no huddle spread option offense sheridan looks over for the sign for the signal and relays it to the offensive line nick sharon as you see a coach's kid his dad with the giants facing a third down and six michigan only 30 on their third down conversion second to last in the big ten they're not going to get this one either pass intended for matthews is a one hopper and michigan will have to punt tomorrow you have never seen an american music awards

this one's been like dancing with the stars one two three kick [Applause] no score was 7 28 to go first quarter great starting field position for ohio state though the 46. beanie wells again the hole is plugged immediately by john thompson and mike martin and the rest of that wolverine defense they've really played well so far today it's the defensive line ness and you're absolutely right that was number 68 mike martin who was a true freshman that was in the backfield they're not the offensive line they're just not making contact with this defensive lineman they're moving fast remember ohio state not only has a freshman quarterback they've got a freshman center doesn't happen very often that that battery are both true freshmen there's what we've said besides the interception it's been three and out not much good there second down to nine wells to midfield maybe to the 49 brandon graham involved in the tackle you know brad this offensive mission of ohio state was supposed to be pretty good this year also they had nine starters returning from a team that went to the national championship game they had a quarterback beckman todd beckmann who was the all big ten quarterback last year beanie wells beatty wells at the beginning of the year was a heisman trophy candidate and now look where they are tenth in the big ten in yardage they got a freshman center a true freshman center and a true freshman quarterback and one's about ready to snap it to the other here in the shotgun on third down and five pryor blitz from the back down he goes again oh that was brandon harrison number 27. he had a free shot yes i'm sitting here about 30 yards away from watching him come at prior prior never season he doesn't see him at all watch take a look right here in the back here he comes look at this looking downfield he never looks at him never saw it this the defensive back that was covering the slot receiver was in bump and he had a short short way to the quarterback trapasso to punt again and this one not good at all and out of bounds at about the 28-yard line so brandon harris in his third sack of the year in his 50th game for the wolverines comes up with a big defensive play trapasso upset with himself on that kick everybody's mad at everybody glad we're all getting along you know who am i for you 98 i set the series record for passing yards in the game with 375 but i lost the game who do you think i would be yeah i would probably think maybe that'd be somebody like uh well i'm not going to guess we'll tell you after that nick sheridan would love to pick up some passing yardage and win the game if at all possible oh another big hit brandon miner takes his shot as gibson is over there in a loss of two and we asked you who set the record with 375 yards and lost in this rivalry game i think you might know this guy tom brady in a losing effort back in 98. oh thank you he went on to play pro football i believe he played for somebody who won a couple championships yeah sheridan on the run and incomplete thrown behind his intended receiver odoms and sheridan's having a tough day i'll tell you what that's going to be the toughest pass to throw in the world when you see laronitis breathing down your neck and you know he's going to hit you he is going to hit you he's already hitting you once in this ball game and now he's going to try to lay you out again it's unbelievable lauren is playing in his final game here and talking with him yesterday the intensity and seeing him out there on the field today you just get that feeling he's in for about a 20 tackle game that's not good average yard less average gain less than one yard him plenty of time and ran out of it in a hurry dexter larimore with a sack and michigan will have to kick well if you like defense you're loving this first 11 minutes [Applause] [Music] laramore one of the three defensive linemen only three rushing the passer just beats the tackle sack defense wins again five straight three and outs overall between the two teams now mesco to punt [Applause] line drive what a catch by ray small back there over his head and then bringing it the other way and small to about the 42-yard line 53-yard kick [Applause] take a look at the defensive line for ohio state you look at the espnu allstate standings review alabama's got the weekend off so does texas texas tech and oklahoma getting together for a big one on abc tonight and of course penn state we mentioned they play michigan state following us most of you will see that game if penn state wins they're going to pasadena michigan state wins and ohio state wins this one it would be the buckeyes rose bowl bound simple as that beanie wells got an opening might be good beanie 20 10 goodbye [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] the longest play from scrimmage this year for ohio state's beanie wells 59-yard touchdown that got the crowd awake the extra point it's good so one play after a nice punt by michigan finally we have some offense in the person of beanie wells jim bulman the offensive coordinator got together and says this is what they're doing watch the block that cordo's going to get right up the center carter pulls around gets the block on the middle linebacker and right up the middle you notice grayson they ran that this about the fourth the fifth time they've run that play and it wasn't going anywhere but this team they know about beanie wells and they know how good their offensive line is and what they did is they just kept pounding it pounding it and pounding it and then finally beanie wells breaks it into clear for the touchdown beanie goes over a thousand yards on that run back-to-back thousand-yard seasons now for benny jim bowman the offensive coordinator in the white shirt you know it took him a few series to find out what michigan was doing defensively on first down and to come up with something to beat it and they did [Applause] and the ball is blown off the t so we'll try it again tee it back up sam mcguffey back deep [Applause] there's the games coming up tonight mention beanie wells now joins antonio pittman eddie george keith byers tim spencer and archie griffin pretty good group as the only other ohio state players to have thousand-yard seasons back-to-back [Music] they're going to have to maybe hold this thing i think or we might be here until monday i thought you said it wasn't windy down there the guy doesn't know how to put the ball on the tee all right [Applause] kick on the hop somebody's got to pick it up mcguffey finally does oh goodness you can only hope he's okay mcguffey's a true freshman running back from texas that play started the first five or six games i don't think he got hit like that last year in high school austin spitler may be the heir apparent to james laurenitis and he just laid notice on mcguffey mcguffey is now a senior [Applause] he's not quite sure what he is right now i don't think well you wanted intensity i guess we're getting it flags out of the play bill limoney is our referee illegal substitution michigan 12-minute position five-yard totally first down oh yeah it's too many rich rodriguez saying to mike massey you just didn't know i guess what the call was watch the hit on mcguffey that is a mcguffey sandwich the only good thing about that is he had to see it coming from both sides brandon miner on the inside for about four cameron hayward made the stop defensively hayward just a young guy too played mostly as a starter a year ago just a sophomore craig iron head hayward's son and he is going to be one of the greats they think by the time he's done at ohio state can play both defensive tackle and defensive end second down and 11. minor to the 30 maybe the 31-yard line let's head into times square studio new york here's matt thanks hi everyone i'll keep you updated on what's happening throughout the nation starting with this taco bell update joe tiller coaching his final game at purdue and on his old oaken bucket list is indiana his boilermakers playing like they want to get it to him curtis painter with his third touchdown pass to the day they've scored on each of their four possessions 24-0 whoa greece joe tiller's last game we wish joe good luck in retirement sheridan on the run strolling late and it might be intercepted marcus freeman did he get it or was he out of bounds i think he said he was out of bounds there's laurenitis and freeman you don't see 33 without number one you don't see number one without 33. doesn't matter if they're on the field or if they're going to class or they're rolling around campus or they're in the football offices that was a heck of an attempt he never did catch it but well the other thing too is sheridan hasn't thrown the ball correctly yet when he's running with the football to throw it he's got to sit back and throw the ball in the pocket excuse me a little late [Applause] here's the punt nice one back to the 14-yard line ray small small who had been suspended from the last couple of games back in there as a return man 55-yard kick that time that's one weapon that michigan's got i was just a good player exactly i was just gonna say you looked at that graphic michigan three and out the most this year in in college football doesn't give doesn't give the their defense much time to rest in fact some of those guys when they go off the field they don't even go back to the bench they just stand turn around take a knee and then they get ready to come back on michigan doesn't have a first down we've got two minutes 24 seconds left in the first quarter ohio state didn't have many first downs either but they got a 59-yard touchdown by beanie wells here comes a blitz beanie was hoping to get through there and maybe go for another long gainer let's check in with stacey well brad as with any big game you see some notable people on the sideline take a look at chris carter joining the ohio state fellows obviously played here now an analyst with us at espn and guys he's been given pep talks throughout the course of this first quarter and he's been as excited as the other players on this team it almost looks as though he wants to be in a uniform again guys yeah he's talking to ray small right now one of the greats ever to play he and randy moss were the vikings one of the great tandems ever noticed sports illustrated this week our old buddy lynn swann and john stalwart voted the number one receiving duo ever in here's chris wells again and he's close to the first down got to about the 31-yard line picked up of five well beanie knows about playing well against michigan how about last year his career high he went for 226. [Applause] as ohio state won their fourth in a row 39 carries including two touchdowns he's off to a good head start i like with a i like where the lineman come over you know you got through the tackle you got the end zone your lineman comes over headbutt you about six times that's a great replay you get hit by all those uh those funny helmets and then you come over and your own guy hits him here's what we were talking about the group that he has joined very illustrious group of running backs that beanies joined with that touchdown run a few minutes ago here he comes again on third and shorts looks like he's got it you know when you watch him from down here him being beanie wells from down here on the field nasa and greece he does a lot of hopping and we were talking to the to the uh offensive coordinator jim bowman the other day and he just said you know if you look at him he's got great feet for a big man he's got he's got excellent speed but he when he sees a hole he can hop to it and get back in and out i don't know of anybody that plays football or any any given sport that don't doesn't have good feet quarterbacks have to have good feet lymon have to have good feet dan herron in there right now so heron giving beanie wells a little breather here and gets up off the bottom of the pile without his hats it'll give beanie a little extra time because that's going to be the last play of the first quarter we can do it right here as chris wells is the only guy that's put points on the board today deeney from 59 to make it 7-0 ohio state at the end of one [Applause]

horseshoe we start the second quarter seven nothing buckeyes in front aaron stays in there in the backfield behind terrell pryor and flags start the second quarter [Applause] snap false start 70 offense five yards still second down brian browning the right tackle and you can see no first downs for michigan in fact no yards per mission yes there's a lot of john going on down here between the defensive lineman and the offensive lineman i guess maybe that's just to keep warm [Applause] yeah it started way before kickoff they're still talking prior quarterback draw broke one tackle out of bounds at about the 39-yard line well one play makes a difference we always say every week makes a difference especially if there's an upset one play has made a difference in this ball game so far and beanie wells you know the defenses are winning this ball game they seem like they're stopping everybody except for beanie wells on one play and that's the game i know i would be frustrated if i was a michigan defender because you said they've been out there all day and they haven't had anything to show for because their offense can't do it when your offense goes three and out and they've done that on four possessions your uh defensive line and the rest of the defense doesn't get much chance to rest any well still getting to rest third down and four here comes the blitz it's picked up and prior perfect throw to ballard as tight end for the first down boy you talk about picking up a blitz ohio state did a marvelous job right there let's check in with pablo down there on the sideline are you warm i'm warm this these guys are keeping me hot it's the first time that prior actually grease set set his feet and then looked downfield and didn't look at the defensive guys apparently because all of the offensive guys picked up the guys that were blitzing this guy's just got to calm down a little bit he's going to be fine he has been fine all year long for a true freshman pretty marvelous first season [Music] wells and again michigan has his number and a loss of one over the linebacker made the stop terrell pryor flustered in the first quarter this is the interception to stevie brown and when they weren't doing that they were trying to wrap him up and sack him which they were able to do and especially in that back side brandon harrison blitz off the corner eighth play of the ohio state drive and a second down and 12. the buckeyes at their own 47. nice play fake and pryor wants it all going long got a man and got him touchdown heartline [Applause] paul said ryers going to be fine if he just calms down he calmed down and threw a rocket right here 53 yards right on the money just a little post pattern man coverage the middle is free it's a great throw there sure was his 11th touchdown pass of the year [Applause] ryan victorious in for the point after two plays have made this ball game for ohio state give credit give credit to jim bowman and jim tressel dressel calls

when you get your running game going that's how you can open up things in the passing game take a look here you got four michigan guys on the defensive line you got three more linebacker then they sneak the safety up that leaves this whole field the center of the field open to throw the football beanie wells starts running they put eight guys up to stop the run it's just good calling it's just good offensive play jim tressels the offensive guy made that call good play aaron gain was the guy shaken up on the special teams he was involved in that big hit sisoko on the kick return and they're helping him off the field it's terrell pryor congratulating his offensive lineman that's a smart quarterback i don't care if you're a freshman or not there right go up and tell the big eaters thanks

it but i bet you rich rodriguez wishes pat white was with him here today loss of a couple on the play carlos brown hit by marcus freeman again time right now for me a question for the week who was the first band to perform the script ohio well well wouldn't that be the ohio state band that's like what's that punch line to shay's joke uh big red truck or whatever i assume that's an easy one yeah we'll get the answer for you later and the throw intended out in the flat for odoms and too high michigan having all kinds of trouble on offense well i can't say they're having trouble on offense there is no offense well they haven't they haven't made a first down yet nope and i tell you ohio state has been in every perfect defense for every play that michigan has called this has been the best part of the michigan team today the punting units including mesco who had a 55-yarder [Applause] this one not quite so good fair catch taking up the 45 by ray small great field position again ohio state's winning on the scoreboard and they're winning on the field position as well [Music] you're watching espn on abc hope i don't miss work this christmas yeah how will you pay for things like food

head over to your tailgate party unless you play in football you walk across to the stadium into the horseshoe into the locker room and then out in the scarlet and gray as you look down from the goodyear blimp on a sold out ohio stadium the 105th renewal of the wolverines and the buckeyes clashes that started in 1897. beanie wells thought beanie was going to try a hurdle job over there at the 48-yard line which he is he's prone to do this year and he's he's getting up that's not a good sign maybe he should have hurdled the defender and he says now get out of here i'm okay well he knows how to get up in the air take you back to a week ago against illinois watch this one and i think if he had done that there he wouldn't have gotten tagged on the knee so hard [Applause] well he didn't get high enough he tried to yeah he was about halfway our producer bob goodrich all over the top of that one i didn't realize he had that greatest shot he tried to get up there he just didn't make it he's got the first down run though off the left side and ryan van bergen made the top tackle chris wells you know everybody talked about beanie probably being in the heisman hunt at the beginning of the year but then came the injury that kept him out of three games he's limping around out there a little bit still and he's going to come out of the ball game now heron will take his place but those three games probably took away his heisman hopes but certainly it didn't take away from a brilliant year that he's had again despite those injuries [Applause] ohio state's had a load of running back heisman guys in their past years there's heron the youngster in the group the redshirt freshman a lot smaller than beanie 5 10 193 brought down by stevie brown you just have the feeling that this offensive line and trestle over here calling the plays they're going to wear out michigan's defense again like grace said before even in the first quarter this defense has been on the field a long long time 10 25 remaining in the first half talked about ohio state nick janowicz was the first hop along cassidy came along and won the heisman archie won a couple the only guy to win two and eddie george in 95. [Applause] here's the draw play to hear sneaky little play got down to the 35-yard line picked up five more mike martin made the tackle again martin's been in on a lot of plays today from his defensive line spot and he's going to have a lot of opportunities to do this because they can't get him off the field yeah there's beanies career numbers including 30 touchdowns came in the number five rusher and has passed keith byers today to fourth in fact that 59-yard touchdown that's how many he was short of moving into the number four spot and he did it all in one chunk there you go third down and three at the 35 of michigan here's the pitch and they're not going to let heron get to the corner at the line of scrimmage charles stewart made a nice play well a few minutes ago we asked you our trivia question duck didn't talk that time who was the first band to perform the script ohio well you figure it's ohio state marching band right yep no you'd be wrong my friend 1932 the michigan band did it at halftime against ohio state there's how it looked in 32 now we're on the wrong side of the field but you understand there's the o there's the o greece is drawing the h and the i force there's the h and there's the i there and the double double dotted eye there two guys so michigan's band actually did script ohio before ohio state's band did ohio state takes a timeout with eight minutes 49 seconds remaining in the first half and there is the michigan band and as i mentioned that's about the only maze and blue in this facility today and here was script ohio from this morning dotting the eye matthew heller from ravenna ohio and he did one heck of a job paul tried out for this last year i think when we were here when it was homecoming and paul was named the homecoming king and he was warming up the only problem with paul sometimes he gets backwards he dotted the wrong end of the eye he's trying anyway this older gentleman comes up to me and he was like my grandkids have moved away um their father is a missionary in africa and i said how would you like to see your grandkids opening their presents as they're opening their presents christmas day and i showed him webcams

ohio state took a time out to talk this fourth down over fourth and three and they'll go for it at the michigan 35 yard line in the gun terrelle pryor will they blitz him they will and he's going to go deep man out there rubiski no flags morgan trent battling with number 80 out there and it's incomplete and michigan takes over boy they needed that play they did i'd say down here it looked like a little bit of contact now by both guys this is single coverage paul one on one you got rubiski against trent morgan or morgan trent excuse me [Music] had to slow up for the ball and then they got tangled up and i guess that's pretty good just leave it alone yeah exactly there was no no nothing there here comes that powerful offense yeah well the defense isn't sitting down well there's one guy that sat down he hurried up and sat down he's the one who had to run the longest yeah first down for michigan sheridan throws back across his body and they are going to say complete apparently at the 41-yard line nope now they come in from the back and make the call michigan's had the ball five possessions in five times they've been three and out coming up later today when we're done penn state can get a trip to pasadena they can get by michigan state college football presented by best buy as part of rivalry week presented by samsung mobile on abc 3 30 this afternoon most of you are going to see that one when we're done [Applause] sheridan oh that's a dangerous throw and it's incomplete anyway odom's the intended receiver and kurt coleman who has had really a whale of a year from his safety spot made the hit kirk coleman never even looked at the ball all he did was look at the offensive receiver and he was took a line and nailed him curtis jr out of dayton ohio and had a huge game last week in the victory over illinois 11 tackles a career high and he had an interception if he'd turned around he might have had another one right there third down and 10 michigan [Applause] this one is complete [Applause] donald washington makes the tackle and they gave him the forward progress to the first down or so it appears i'll tell you this was an outstanding play by odin just to maintain his balance and end up picking up the first down because he was going down went down on his hand got himself back up straight and picked up the first down the first first down for michigan on the day and it comes with 8 25 the clock now down to 8 17 remaining in the first half took them a long time but now they've got decent field position remember they had an opportunity early in the ball game and an interception to get points and they missed a field goal so it's 14 to nothing ohio state carlos brown and brown got about three out to the 48-yard line our aerial coverage as you look from way up above the horseshoe brought to you by goodyear get there on triple tread technology goodyear blimp giving us a great shot on a gloomy day and a cold day the sun was out this morning we expect that the best temperature we'll see is about 36 if we're lucky are the heaters doing in the booth they are marvelous it's a little warm up here we're thinking about taking our top coats off second down sheridan in trouble and he swallowed back at the 40 yard line and lauren itis is there in freeman's air rich rodriguez knows that the season could be defined by what happens here today [Applause] it's this year's team's last impression of our football team and so a lot of times your last impression is your longest one and your lasting one and i don't want our players to be defined on one game and never do never will but at the same time this one is important because of that last impression well said coach so far not very well played i'm afraid 14 to nothing ohio state [Applause] sheridan all by his lonesome in that backfield fires a deep out nice throw out completes not going to be enough for the first down i don't think awfully close though about a foot shy 14-yard pickup [Applause] this is one of those areas where michigan has sent the punt team in and before and mexico has run it for a first down they're just going to go for it here and why not yeah why not last game nothing to play for no there will be no bowl game the first eight lost season in michigan history if you didn't know that sharon is straight ahead for the first down never happened before that they had lost eight games they have never lost five straight to ohio state rodriguez and when he was at westford west virginia his first year was a three and eight years and uh after that they got better and better and better and better until last year he was one game away from going to the national championship game it was eight wins or more every year after that first season now the ground game brandon miner and he might have the first down on that run tough run by miner coming up in about five minutes and 40 seconds capital one halftime report john and craig and doug will be along with the other highlights going on in these early games today and of course a look ahead to the all-important oklahoma texas tech game tonight michigan this is their best opportunity since that interception they're trying to do something about the score play action the quick throw odom's forgot to take the ball with him yeah he was running fast that's a play that that's a play that rodriguez likes it's this little kid odom's as a true freshman as we mentioned can really pick him up and lay him down a lot of quickness a lot of speed and when you get the ball out there in the in the space he hopes that the guy can beat the other guy well you know gracias said little guy he's five nine he weighs 168 pounds but the most important thing he has to learn is to catch it first tenth play of the michigan drive second and ten they'll come back with the running play that got him a big one and it's got him another big one minor did he get there almost brandon miner to the one-yard line 32-yard run same play he picked up a first down a couple of plays ago and i like coming back and running the same play brad if it works for you once run it again there's outstanding blocking on the right-hand side of the screen just take a look at it and then he gets an excellent lead block once he gets in the secondary there's really nobody back there with the safety to knock him out of bounds is that blimp shot a great replay or what perfect view of what paul was talking about and bob was talking about as well and michigan is going to take a timeout they don't want to mess up an opportunity at the one-yard line here with five minutes and change remaining i think they're taking a look at this up in the replay booth brad and what they're trying to see great running there and good blocking is maybe he got in maybe he didn't now his foot i think they got it right the first time i think you're right when his foot hit where the ball was when his right foot hits out of bounds yeah they might actually spot it back at the two instead of the one no no it's not where his foot goes out of bounds it's where the ball is when he goes out of bounds the ball is right the ball should be at the one yard line where it is there it's not you're going to see the ball is out in front of him here at the one i think the ball and the foot are in the same spot as well it's about right it's about one and a half two and they've had a tough day ness all right give it to him absolutely i'm not trying to take anything away from brandon miner that was a heck of a run hey brad if any time michigan gets first down i'm happy because the score's getting closer the ruling on the field was confirmed the runner was out of bounds at the one-yard line i think he's going to leave it alone they do give it to him if paul says one thing and you say another i'm going with you thank you because i know i know wait a minute i said the one he didn't a little brown noser you down there on the line of scrimmage ball [Applause] he almost is yeah i'm right on it first and goal brandon miner the tailback gets the call in a head-on collision and he lost a little bit on that one now that's a that's a good call defensively [Applause] hey nessler do you talk about freeman a lot marcus freeman watch this here's your guy coming down well that's bank bank and on the bottom paul that's why when you run that play you always have a tight end over there they didn't have a tight end to that side it was open and he just came right off the tackle they paul now they're at the two yard line thanks second down and goal michigan trying to cut the lead in half the toss to minor this time he's not going to get there again and last second effort nope his knee touchdown now they got third down and a bunch loss of about five this almost tells you the story of michigan's season right here you had a long run to get down to the one yard line you couldn't get it in you run two plays and you lose six seven yards take a look toss to the right all the red shirts out there just good defense you had it on the one yard line and now you got it back on the six or seven yard line third and goal at the seven matthews and savoy to the top of your screen sharing it in the gun they're gonna blitz him miner on the carry and he might get there this time no he won't run out of bounds by jenkins and coleman you know this we watch a lot of teams how they tackle on defense and a lot of them don't tackle very well will this ohio state team they do tackle very well and i'm not talking just about the linemen and linebackers here comes number two jenkins watch this he's a corner and when jenkins the corner fills fourth and goal [Applause] minor touchdown michigan it took him four cracks from the one they backed up a couple times then went forward and finally brandon miner from a yard out that kind of tells you about michigan's offensive season so far this year the little truck that couldn't do it and finally got it done after with 251 left in the half [Applause] it's good a 65-yard drive in 14 plays for brandon miner a major run to get michigan close and finally after struggling on fourth and goal

14-play drive for michigan as bob said that's the story this season they've had to earn everything took them six minutes almost they go 65 yards and they converted two fourth and ones on that drive including the touchdown kick is way short at about the 18-yard line lamar thomas tom is trying to get away they won't let him and dropped at about the 30-yard line [Applause] zach johnson made the

shoot just as much as texas tech can though they don't lose at home much no they don't hot under bob stoops anyway deeney wells puts his head down and barrels his way out for about four yards before john thompson brought him down let's check in with stacy dale stace well brad if anybody thinks this game is far from over for these ohio state players they got to think again because they don't think that way in fact after that last surge by the michigan offense tight end coach and quarterback coach john peterson went to all of his offense they popped up and he said guys this is four quarters you got to wake up right now you got to keep playing and finish this half and then finish this game with four quarters and it kind of galvanized the offensive unit guys here as they get set to go brad that's a good point because remember it's two big plays by ohio state a beanie wells run and a throw by prior to heartline and that's really all they've done offensively as we take a look at our pacific life game summary and this is kind of what we were talking about it's been big plays two by ohio state and one by michigan this was beanie wells this is where he went over a thousand yards rushing for a second straight year on a 59-yard touchdown romp then it was prior to heartline for a score making it 14 to nothing and then brandon miner the long run down the sideline to the one subsequently went in from a yard out 14-7 ohio states brad nessler bob griese paul mcguire and stacy dales from the horseshoe in columbus prior all day to stand there tall in the pocket he ran out of it in a hurry tim jameson flying in there with a different number jersey on yeah and he's got the sack yeah well that's it that's not so bad no he might want to keep 78 and throw 90 in the garbage that's his sack jersey [Laughter] that's his sixth sack of the year playing in his 50th game tim jameson with the sack we've got a out here and it gives us time to go to times square studio and another update all right brad sportscenter right now is powered by vizio west virginia's racked up 214 yards rushing they could have used one more against louisville noel divine's apparent touchdown one was overturned on review so they're tied up with louisville at seven at the half meanwhile the only other ranked team playing at this moment besides ohio state is north carolina the tar heels trailing on their home field the nc state it is 10-3 there well what else would happen in the acc you figure that one out yeah no i don't want to you guys want me to explain the acc maybe after the game paul trabasso the punts oh that came after him and he got it out of there greg matthews says everybody back away michigan is going to have the football with a minute nine seconds and one timeout remaining 109 left in this one on this november 22nd and on this day in college football history how about these two milestones woody's first win over michigan back in 52 and he wasn't even wearing glasses at the time and in 1969 beau shembechler his first win against ohio state and then five years ago was the 100th game of the series on this november 22nd here we are for the 105th time woody the great years against bo they were magical weren't they miner dropped in the backfield for a loss cameron hayward made first contacts hayward 6-6 287 and still growing yeah brad and that defensive line is just eating up that offensive line for michigan that time he couldn't even get back to the line of scrimmage michigan doesn't want to make a mistake here either they'd love to get points but what they really don't want to do is turn one over sheridan pump fakes throws got a man open in the slots down to the 45-yard line and it's odums who found himself a spot back there in a pickup of 21. this was a pretty well designed play they flooded the area on the left-hand side and they just got odom's he just checked up about 15 yards deep and they got the ball to him clock stops while the chains are moved one timeout remaining for michigan and they spike it here with 29 seconds remaining in the second quarter so if they were to get it down to you know the 30 32-yard line and give lapada a shot at one just a little while ago i mean the intensity before this game was very high now the quick snap the throw wide receiver screen and they maybe got to the 41 pickup of about four bob you want to circle that michigan timeout thing up there there you go you just got one right there it is you hit it with your sleeve we got layers on up here every time bob hits the monitor with his sleeve on his top coat everything goes wacky but telestrator doesn't doesn't like those coats no it doesn't well they are out of those times just a little while ago we had an intense game brad is what i was going to say now not so much [Applause] herb brooks spoke of miracles jane paulie speaks with integrity jesse owens spoke of equality steve mccurry speaks through humanity gerald ford spoke of world peace find your voice [Music] there you look at k.c lopata his career long 50 yards been a hard-hitting 14-7 ohio state lead in the first half you want intensity hello james laurenitis hello terrell pryor goodbye brandon miner oh that's the one that hurt mcguffey on the kick return that's what we've had in the 105th renewal of a rivalry that started in 1897. no timeouts now for michigan 18 seconds with which to work and a third down here third down and six streak down the sideline incompletes nice coverage over there by malcolm jenkins the all big ten cornerback and he'll be a good one at the next level malcolm really one of the vocal leaders they're going to miss him he's one of the captains on the thorpe semifinalist list he's been starting for four years he can block kicks he's big enough to hit you and uh think about do it all kenny yeah he can there's been a lot of corners and safeties come out of ohio state into the pros you know yeah michigan's had a few good ones too fourth down and six [Applause] shared and taken all day and it took a delay a game penalty it seemed like they took that on purpose they did so they could punt i think so they can punt the ball i don't know why they do that i don't either i mean you don't have to worry about a coffin corner kick there's only 14 seconds left just kick it that that that means you don't have much confidence in your offense right there now sheridan is the backup quarterback he was a walk-on a couple of years ago so he's you don't you're not playing with your main guy in there either [Applause] line drives it down it's gonna roll all the way down inside the five and down to the one i mean you can't do it any better than that four seconds remaining in the half 45 yard punt so there'll be one more play for ohio state anything you got to be a little bit careful about you can't take a knee here because it's in the end zone you just quarterback sneak it but the way this whole thing started out and was going about midway through the second quarter it looked like ohio state had everything going their way 14 to nothing and and michigan was in trouble they get that touchdown and they're back in the ballgame that's exactly what stacey was talking about down there the coaching staff trying to tell these guys i don't know if you think this is over or what but really you take away you can't take away you take away benny wells touchdown run you take away terrell pryor's touchdown pass ohio state hasn't done anything boy he had to work on that quarterback sneak to not go down in the red of that end zone to end the half so they'll unfile bodies and both teams have to walk toward each other again so you've got to always watch out for that you know what ohio stage coaches are keeping their team away from michigan's that crosses the path that's probably a pretty smart move as this has been chippy for most of the day and started about two hours ago let's go down to stacy coach michigan gained a little momentum there what's your reaction well you we were down there on the 35 and we took the option of going forward and you know as i look back i guess maybe i should have punted down to the 10 but they did a good job michigan never stops playing they've done that for 125 years or whatever and it's gonna be a great football game how do you feel like your offense has protected prior well you know not too bad we had one or two that weren't so good but a couple times that uh you know the receivers weren't open and threw away a couple but we got a long half to go all right thanks coach well in admission by jim tressel that maybe he would have done things a little bit differently 14-7 at halftime as we head to times square studio in new york john craig and doug felix all right brad thanks a lot man quite clearly this is why rivalries are what they are michigan in the middle of or rather at the end of the worst season in the history of michigan football very much in it with a very good ohio state a lot of heat going to rich rodriguez this week i just want to know why he says this or says that you know i'm watching this game i'm trying to figure out is if rodriguez is a good football coach can you really blame him for the drop punt or the missed passes no he's got a football team out there playing right now this is a talented football team that just doesn't have the direction yet from rodriguez but they got to play the next half you heard trestle his guys will come out and play and michigan does they got a chance well i just like the fact they came out and matched intensity right away they got the interception ran it down i still think he needs to make a move on prior and getting the end zone but it's like pulling teeth for michigan to even move the ball two yards offensively for them to get that touchdown was huge keep them back in the game ohio state keep in mind with a win and a penn state loss and they're headed to the rose bowl so this game means a whole heck of a lot stick around when we come back we will have the day's highlights trying to sort our things in the acc after this message in a word from our abc station cadillac red tag event right now

wells is doing his part but it's just a 14-7 lead over a three-win michigan team john saunders craig james and doug flutie we're going to start off with the acc where 14 times ranked teams have played unranked teams in the acc they're three and eleven the ranked teams will almost lose almost always tj yates starts for north carolina first time since breaking his ankle in september russell wilson pup fakes to george bryant touchdown tom o'brien told me the key to this football team is to not get down early because russell wilson is a young talented quarterback that can make plays for north carolina a football team that normally doesn't turn it over they've had a couple today and butch davis finding out why you don't want to be the favorite in a game just a 10-3 contest there west virginia against louisville hey they got into it before the game rivalry now just playing for the top of the big east powell leaps over the line into the end zone one yard louisville goes up on top seven to nothing and then pat white doing what pat white does you know pat white and old devon account for 250 yards out of 270 offensively in the first half pat white breaking long runs noel devine doing the same it's the same old west virginia offensive white over 4 000 yards rushing for his career this time he rolls out heaves it downfield to arnett 52-yard gain west virginia figuring out how to play offense without all the guys they had in the past it is pat white's group this play here reviewed didn't quite get in for the first down let's play last play of the half very very deal very old combined knee clearly down before he crosses that plane right there west virginia's got pitt and south florida coming up so they better be playing well right now rutgers two losses in conference play facing army out of conference today greg sean squad still has a shot chip bowden fakes the handoff runs at the middle fumbles recovered by left for rutgers who takes it back for the touchdown you know what everybody had written rutgers off except for rutgers all of a sudden mike teal got hot but he was favored because he was on the road he gets booed at home so they got hot while he was on the road again mike till showing what he can do down the field tomorrow graves 26 yards for the touchdown 17 to nothing then 23 to nothing is the lead for rutgers again in a non-conference game so in the big east one of these teams is going to a bcs ball game cincinnati pittsburgh west virginia rutgers and yukon still very much in the hunt uconn has a game against south florida and cincinnati pitt tonight and you know what cincinnati brian kelly rumored to be the guy coming up at tennessee he's a hot coach but he's had a very physical week of practices and tony pike his quarterback knows what he's looking i like cincinnati in the big east they throw the football better than anyone else in the big east and defensively three of their defensive backs are nfl caliber guys so they can play they can flat out play all right we of course are heading tonight towards the big one texas tech against oklahoma when we come back we will preview the marquee matchup this one with national championship

game day crew of chris lee and kirk nation's longest home winning streak meets the nation's longest winning streak period chilly night temps in the 30s but shouldn't really affect either of these passengers which guy bradford or harold is going to get great protection they have all season get some help from the running game and stand and deliver under pressure not just for the implications for their teams but also for the heisman trophy but combined 84 total touchdowns each 42 for each guy amazing numbers what's the key tonight you think of this well i think i stayed right behind me 59 at two ten years bobby stoops texas tech has beaten oklahoma two times in the last four years both of them in lubbock not in norman oklahoma wins the game in this place right here i want to see how texas tech responds to this atmosphere with all the hostility all the pressure everything that's at stake they have to maintain their composure especially when they hit adversity and the key to the game to me is can oklahoma run the football if they run the football then it could be a long day for texas tech and their defense anyway you think fast start too oklahoma 201 points in the first quarter that's more than 19 teams have all season wow that's incredible and the big brick house behind us in prime time we expect and hope for another shootout john well chris another shootout another game of the century for texas tech though they're used to this third straight game over a top 10 team and they of course beat texas texas is number one oklahoma state had upset on their mind but they just got pounded by texas tech and now of course oklahoma and if we end up with an oklahoma victory tonight we end up with a three-way tie in the big 12 south between texas texas tech and oklahoma the way the rules spell out is the top team rated in the bcs standings would go on to face missouri in the big 12 championship game how do you think it's going to play out well you know what unfairly is how it's going to play out here i talked to both stoops and mac brown this week and both of those guys obviously are kind of lobbying for their programs and you can understand their positions in this thing i admire this week's decision by matt brown to go with mil will muschamp as his designate coach it's not in waiting but it's designated i think what he did was he assured himself of continuity for this season because if this football team at texas has a chance to play for the national championship he did not want a distraction i believe much champ was going to be off for tennessee and clemson and he would have been gone but this would have created a tremendous burden on matt brown and texas football team he doesn't have to worry about that right now great business decision for will muschamp to stay there and he's 37 years old doug if it is 10 years from now so what he's 47 years old the head football coach at texas so i thought it was an outstanding move to assure that he has continuity for his football program it makes sense to me if you lock him in to stay there for that period of time and originally we weren't sure if he was locked in or not on the other question if oklahoma were to create a three-way tie at the top of it all i think there's really no fair way to decide that at all but when you go back to it oklahoma will have knocked off the number two team texas tech will it beat no oklahoma state so they had the momentum at the end of the year but the key if you if the only thing you can legitimately look at would be non-conference schedule in which case they've played cincinnati who could win the big east and tcus a ranked team so non-conference schedule could be in their favor the only thing about the must chant move is the fact that there are three assistants on the staff that have been there 11 years they're all easy with it max was very open about that john he said we had no problem what about at home yeah stick around prior with a touchdown pass we got a touchdown game [Music] come on we're late move people oh hold your eggnog i'm building my own capital one credit card i'll go with cash back and a jolly good rate but sir the reindeer are getting

the pac-10 all right let's get you a couple of other highlights tim tebow has just thrown a touchdown fast with the florida gators who are taking a little bit of a day off today against the citadel finding louis murphy 7-0 is the lead there tennessee is facing vanderbilt today remember what started west from vanderbilt terrible years pinned for tennessee eric barry 45 yards interception return his seventh to lead the nation 17 to nothing tennessee with the lead clemson facing virginia cj spiller takes the pitch rolls out finds tyler grisham in the end zone 15 yards for a touchdown yeah a little dabo sweeney working their magic on the uh halfback pass virginia man you don't want to be the favorite in this conference all right he comes into tennessee without coaches mike leitch's name actually came up this week as a possible replacement at tennessee he'll be on here by a short list but the realistic thing here dabo sweeney and bud foster at clemson one of those two guys i think would be good for their programs and i think brian kelly from cincinnati salesman and tough guy be good for tonight i think he's going to wind up on top in the big east and then he'll have that or he's got a real shot at tennessee yeah they were saying according to one of the papers that he is the top pick right now stick around the second half still to come it is a rivalry game that's why it's just a touchdown second half after this message and a word from our abc stations [Music] [Applause] seat movers that's what you'd call us we'd buy seats up in the nosebleeds and then move down we'd

pre-thanksgiving sale at rugged home espn rivalry week presented by samsung mobile 14-7 our college football on espn on abc presented by best buy part of rivalry week presented by samsung mobile 105th time ohio state and michigan espn's college football on abc presented by best buy brad nessler bob griese paul mcguire and stacey dales this is such a game of emotion and mood swings and all of that and i think michigan's got a little bit of an edge right now such excitement when it started before and when it started and then when ohio state went up 14 to nothing i felt like there was a little down time but then michigan comes back scores seven points and we've got a football game yes we do that's what we were hoping for and we got it rich rodriguez i'm sure has told his team we're one play away from being in a tie with the heavily favored buckeyes at home who have to kick off remember they got the ball first at the beginning of the ballgame michigan gets it to start the third quarter short kick taken at the 13 by odoms odoms goes down at about the 23-yard line i notice that the cart down there does not have paul mcguire on it anymore and now i do wonder where he might be where is he oh i know where i bet i know where i mean we're having a cookie you saw the other side and the only thing you can see from over here is from like the 50 back you may be getting 60 yards and these are people that were sitting over here you buy these are season tickets yeah you actually pay it you get a discount well they didn't see two touchdowns i just want to let you know that first down michigan to open the corner and sheridan keeps it nice run got it out to the 31-yard line [Applause] they've got hot chocolate they've got all that good stuff and some guys just stole my wall but other than that it's really not bad up here boy these are great cookies you guys want one bring one over you're not that far away from us it looks like a good spot for him because that spot tells me he only knows half as much as he thinks he knows that's right he only can see half the field and you know you heard of the red zone that whole side of the field that's the dead zone if you're sitting over in those seats you can't see to the right side well paul's worked about every angle of this stadium over the last two or three years first down at the 35 dual backfield in there mundo full back in brandon miner who's got michigan's touchdown today here he comes again and another good run out to the 43 almost a 44-yard line for brandon miner pickup of eight more yards as we take a look at our pacific life game summary statistically up until a couple of plays ago here's how it looked 2.8 per play for michigan yes still nothing very good for michigan offensively but they're starting to get their ground game going and that could have a trickle effect in this ball game a little bit too because now ohio state's defense has been on the field a little more regularly much like michigan's was most of the first half let's check in with stacey brad you mentioned that michigan may have a bit of an edge while i talked to rich rodriguez he was pleased with the way they played the first half other than a couple big plays defensively he said they were terrific and offensively they finally found rhythm because of first downs he told us it'd be a key guys first down and here comes another first down and then some down to the 41 yard line stacy right on cue with that one a pickup of 13 more and now michigan's sort of feeling it you can see a little bit of a swagger on a team that's three and eight and a little more excitement on their sideline it tells me that rich rodriguez did a nice job at halftime firing this michigan team up saying hey we got a chance to beat these guys let's go out and play well in the second half there's sharon into the 40. pickup of a couple thanius gibson made the tackle that was one play brad that they did not run in the first half is the the fake and the quarterback keeping it steven three didn't even make the trip three started much of the year at quarterback for michigan five straight running plays for the wolverines have it at the 39 of ohio states now they're going to throw completes odom's nice open field tackle out there by chequa if he breaks that tackle he goes 40 yards this is one thing about ohio state defensively you mentioned it earlier they can tackle in space they can tackle the defensive backs he saved a 40-yard gain right there yep jenkins and coleman and russell czech all those guys in that secondary are good hitters michigan trying to snap a four-game losing skid against their arch-nemesis from here in columbus trailing by a touchdown but on a drive here in the third quarter and in trouble he's got to get rid of this thing tyler moeller came storming in from his star position they call it he's kind of a not a safety and not a linebacker but he makes a lot of things happen out there number 26 does he did that a week ago and he's been doing it all season long jim haycock the defensive coordinator talking to us yesterday said he was going to play a lot because of the spread formation of michigan you look at mesco he'll try to do what he did at the end of the first half i'm sure on this punt see if he can drop it inside the five he hit it a mile in the air should give his coverage unit enough time to maybe catch it down there and it will roll inside the 10 but not the five dead at about the nine yard line 11 43 to go in the third quarter as we have time to take a look at our best buy playbook mr greasy bradley when you can run the football it opens up a lot of things for you take a look at ohio state right here heart line is lined up just outside he's going to run a post pattern the middle of the field is going to be wide open because they've got eight guys up close to the line of scrimmage to shut down the run of beanie wells that opens up prior down the middle to hardline that's easy picking right there if you haven't seen the game to this point that touchdown pass and beanie wells long touchdown run is about all ohio state's offenses got to show for it here might be another big one beanie out to midfield hey how about halftime talks and figuring out what's going to work first first play trestle calls a little toss to the left side from the blimp here's the view you'll see the blocking set up on the left and then beanie sees that opening and he takes off 42 more yards for chris wells that got him out of a hole jim tressel was running along the sideline just [Applause] they're encouraging wonder what coach's 40 time is first down at the 49. and now they got a quick opener to heron and he is gone heron touchdown [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] first mr wells then mr herron 49 yard career long for heron and a [Applause] touchdown that is about as quick of a 91-yard drive as you can have it's impressive because the coaches at halftime went through knew what they wanted to get done and came out and got it called 21-7 ohio state [Music] what's the blocking up front the left side they run this into the short side of the field ballard gets a nice block from his tied in position but both of those long runs from the short side into the field just great planning by the coaches of ohio state [Music] today's at t all-america flashback

return and let's head back down to the cart hey hey brad uh well i i've taken over the best seat in the house you know i've got the bird's eye view down here boy is that an improvement but i have a little analysis of my own i mean jim tressel tells me at the half this game is far from over they come out 91 yards later touchdown a little cut back to the left and he's in the end zone so how about that for you just don't drink out of that cup unless it's a different cup okay i got chips ahoy and i got a little uh espresso there you go well paul's working his way back to the cart that was an extreme improvement on that camera shot and jane the camera guy is the most appreciative fella in the stadium right now i think here's sheridan and a keeper lost a yard marcus freeman the outside linebacker played his final game the horseshoe with another tackle talked about freeman and laurenitis virtually inseparable on the field off the field i talked to both of them yesterday all of us did those guys are like hooked at the hip number 33 and number one the best of friends both on and off the field [Applause] they'll be playing against each other next year unless somebody drafts them one and two in the nfl in the first couple rounds sheridan oh and he takes a big lick by laurenitis at the end of the play and just was trying to get rid of the ball and he still got a whole mouthful of number 33. [Applause] well this is a big rivalry james laronite has talked about his favorite part of it it's so passionate between the teams you know the series is so um so true you know you look at it it's not some blowing up rivalry it's a real rivalry it's talked about year round and the mood of each state is going to depend on the outcome of this game they are going to miss those two aren't they they aren't he doesn't act like a middle linebacker he doesn't that crazy there's a run off the left and out for about five to the 36. james left the crazy to his dad joe in the wrestling ring that's crazy now this guy is uh sensible good looking there's joe there's joe joe's here today of course he and laurie is james mamadan on the field for the senior day all the parents were down there and a lot of people dress up for little animal they call him james told me his sister's here is one of his grandparents i think's here said my defensive coordinator from high school matt lombardi is here he said mention coach lombardi for me oh what a punt down to the 14-yard line and a flag down i think we're going to have a roughing the kicker call on the other end ray small goes down but a penalty marker hayward i think is the guy that got the big rush on mesco and it is first new foul against ohio state [Applause] so instead of having the ball back here's another look [Applause] 43 defense 15-yard penalty automatic first down yeah he got him pretty good that was nathan williams the freshman on the special teams you know that that was you know that deserved to be called but a lot of times these punters can hold their foot out there and just let them be running which there's a fine line the referee is looking right at it and i think that should be called because obviously you know it was roughing the punter but sometimes it's just a tough call a lot of times but that one was legitimate so instead of having the ball in their own territory it's michigan in ohio state territory play action deep ball down the middle double coverage almost caught greg matthews went up for it anderson russell was there with him probably a pass that shouldn't have been thrown but sheridan had his mind made up and he let it go that fake did not fool anybody and you're right uh ohio state could have caught it coming up when we're done michigan state and penn state of course ohio state hopes that michigan state does them a favor and beach penn states it's presented by best buy part of rivalry week presented by samsung mobile 3 30 when we're done from columbus most of you are going to see the spartans and the nittany lions second down and ten michael shaw got about three were you insinuating that michigan state was pulling for michigan to win i said ohio state would be pulling for michigan state to beat penn state oh okay i thought you did it the other way where michigan state to go to the rose bowl needs michigan to beat ohio you folks we're sorry but both of those scenarios are true yes you guys aren't having a domestic are you no we're not go have another cookie paul i love the cookies third down and seven sheridan going to go deep down the sideline this time guy there broken up though how come jenkins he had it and under threw it if he hadn't under thrown the ball i think it would have been a touchdown [Music] here's the isolation matthews on jenkins he ran right by him yeah he lays the ball out in front but he has to come back for it and malcolm makes a great play [Applause] [Music] mescos dropped his last two punts inside the 10-yard line let's see if he can do it again [Applause] this one's not going to make it unless it takes some kind of super bounce it takes a wrong bounce if you're a michigan fan and they put it down at about the 25-yard line james laurenitis he and freeman both play on special teams even though they're superstars doesn't mean they don't play on special teams here was james coming out for senior day there's joe and lori big hug for their kid

great there's james you might have seen going to break not only was he hugging his mom and dad terry rubiski brian's dad kissed him right on top of the head ness beanie wells just limped off the field i mean i don't know whether it's it's like cramped up or what whatever but he took himself out of the game he took a pop on that attempted hurdle earlier in the ball game and it might be getting a little bit cold on him if he got it hit on the same spot again it's an empty backfield right now except terrell pryor and it's a quarterback draw all the way and he's out to about the 30-yard line [Applause] pryor has not had a great day by any stretch of the imagination he's had an interception and been sacked three times one perfect throw exactly one perfect throw for a touchdown jim tressel told us yesterday that he is very poised for a quarterback playing so early and he takes care of the football in fact he that means he doesn't turn it over he didn't throw it away but but and because of that if he doesn't throw it away a lot of times he'll take sacks that he doesn't need to take you wouldn't think a guy that can be that elusive sometimes would get sacked so much as you saw all three sacks came on third down well here's third down and five he'll roll away from the pressure on this one and throw on the run incomplete and ohio state will have to punt it away here's beanie earlier trying to keep the legs warm and then the play where he went down kind of awkwardly and then limped off after that so we'll see whether or not he comes back in heron would be the first man as we've seen many times today already to replace him if necessary trapasso the punts nice one all the way to the 20 and a fair catch at about the 19-yard line michigan's got the ball back there are two

of script ohio that is the blood on the soccer beanie wells right on his shin the perfect o though and we'll see if he comes back when ohio state gets the ball back meanwhile michigan has it from the 19-yard line michael shaw might have gotten a yard and lauren itis will one pile from the bottom of that heap again laura knight is a finalist for the lombardi award he won the butkus last year he's a semifinalist for that again what about every defensive awards you can win or been on the list of those awards anyway here's that open man again at the 40. stoneham still on his feet and he's into ohio state territory that's the same pass route that worked a little while ago when they got it over to odomes that's his they fake they fake the throw behind the line of scrimmage and the defensive men come up and then the outside receiver just goes deep and he hits him right in the seam michigan needs big plays they cannot sustain drives against this defense they got 33 on that one now they come back with a counter and it's shaw that play seems to have worked today pretty well too that's the only running play all day long that's worked for him it worked when minor ran it that's when he got that big gain down to the one yard line and it just seems that they want to just work on the right hand side or the left-hand side of the offense of the ohio state defense michigan going with the hurry up offense seems to be working for him pretty well too [Applause] shaw gonna reverse field this time and he'll pay the price for that yeah this this defense is too disciplined to allow that to happen he won't cut back on this jim haycock the coordinator yesterday telling us that michigan offensively has different speeds that they can no huddle and that's a concern for him because substitution wise you you know you may get caught but that's what michigan is doing trying to speed up and slow down the offense now in this case michigan looks a little confused as to who they do want out there and with that ohio state was able to substitute so exactly what greece is talking about just occurred in michigan now under 10 seconds on the clock here they're going to get it off okay apparently second down at 15. sheridan up receiver incomplete yeah he had him but he had to get rid of it blitz on the way gibson was coming and he knew it as our aerial coverage today brought to you by goodyear get there on triple tread technology there's the horseshoe in columbus ohio there's probably about 105 000 or so here today even though capacity is 102 329 the fire marshal never comes in here we don't care third down at 15. [Applause] a bunch of receivers four to the top of your screen and sheridan is going to run it they tried to spread things out and trick ohio state and that didn't work either rob rose made the tackle on charity you know that's one thing that gracie just said a couple plays ago where plago about how disciplined this defense is they do not take fakes they play their position and that's why michigan is really having a problem running the ball anywhere except to the right side sheridan's having a problem even getting to the sideline and that might mean that we're going to see a lot of justin fagan yeah fagin he's the third guy on the list mesco has been a busy punter gonna try to come over to the near side here and he line drive it to the 13 to ray small small still on his feet ray small down the sideline he might take it how did he even stay in bounds 81 yards vanessa ran right by me and i'm going to tell you they just tried what they tried to do is hand tackle him to push him out of bounds but he kept this balance watch it that signal for a fair catcher once he gets to the sideline watch what they try to do you arm tackle him you can't do that [Music] wow what a return 81 yards to the eight-yard line ray small has been suspended for a couple of games for i think not attending class now he's back on the roster he's not playing wide receiver today but he is returning punts heron is in flanking pryor in the shotgun first and goal ohio state's prior to the end zone rubiski touchdown [Music] one of the captains one of the seniors one of the leaders touchdown ohio state's ryan rubiski [Applause] his dad the receivers coach for the atlanta falcons made the trip up to watch his kid play mom's here as well they're happy parents right now extra points good 28-7 ohio state 354 remaining in the third quarter and pryor's second touchdown throw of the day and watch the big guy roll from behind here's what terrell pryor is looking at greece well they like to get him outside the pocket he'll fake here roll out smith is covered so he goes to the deeper man with rubiski nice throw and nice catch through it the only place he could catch it was low and away and he went down and made the play we mentioned his dad's a coach in the nfl and has been for a long time and he says he's the biggest influence he's ever had on him [Applause] just an unbelievable amount i think you know obviously it's a blessing to have you know you know a coach in my family but then you know a guy who's been around the nfl so so many years i mean it's just hard for me to to just explain how much he's done for me [Applause] here's before the game coming down that tunnel a huck for his coach there's terry his dad his mom cynthia's here and boy senior day against michigan and get a touchdown pass that's big stuff and another major collision on a kick return we've had a lot of those today brian an academic all district performer 3.54 there's his dad mom's right behind i played with terry yeah and there's cynthia his mom with a cap on i saw him before the game terry when i was walking on the field greece and he just first of all he said to say hello to everybody but i mean he is so proud of his son it's just unbelievable i mean like all parents are yeah well not only doing great in school but on the football field too you've been yeah justin fagan in the quarterback we expected to see him at some point today i don't know that we thought we'd see him because of sheridan limping off the last time that michigan had the ball shaw maybe a yard a tough one if at all and lauren is there to meet him let's check in with stacy well brad just a quick beanie wells update i just spoke with doug callan the head athletic trainer for ohio state he has some hamstring tightness he will be reevaluated but he's doubtful to return so we'll see if he comes back but it's doubtful okay well that hamstring that he twinged a little bit was part of he said that hurdle job he did over the illinois defender last week so in this cold weather that uh sometimes can start to tighten up on you again michael shaw out to maybe the 23-yard line laurenitis i guess i could say that every play laurinitis on the tackle so can somebody record that downstairs billy buy our audio man maybe and i'll just lay out here hey ness i tell you it's really funny it's fagin faken right shaw into the hole and all of a sudden shaw comes right back into fagin's lap well fagin the quarterback the redshirt quarterback throws a pass here it'll be his first pass of the year [Applause] third down and a long six he rolls to throw and tucks it and goes down and michigan will have to kick what a difference this michigan offense right now from the game last year at this time you didn't have to want you didn't have to wonder who made that tackle did you yeah chad henny jake long hart arrington manningham all those guys played in this game and barely got over 100 yards against the ohio state defense laurenitis that was his 11th tackle of the day i said earlier he might get 20. i wasn't kidding here's the kick remember small took the last one on the fly and took it 81 yards he's got to get out of the way of this one as it rolls down at about the 44-yard line great field position again though for ohio state with a minute 54 remaining in the third quarter reminder coming up tomorrow you've never seen an american music awards lineup bigger than this one you'll get performances from beyonce kanye west rihanna coldplay alicia keys and a lot more all the winners are all decided by you red carpet special starts at seven then jimmy kimmel will host at eight 2008 american music awards live on abc tomorrow nights with bob griese paul mcguire stacey dales brad nessler with you from the horseshoe in columbus where the buckeyes now are starting to separate from the michigan wolverines 28-7 pryor wants more and he's got ribisky again not quite oh boy well let me tell you what happens on this play rubisco if he runs straight down the field he makes the touchdown what he did he started to bend in towards the post a little bit not to get rid of the defensive man warren he just started to bend it inside and the ball was thrown to the outside had he stayed outside where he see it had the touchdown well i think what happened was rubiski was running where it was opened a little bit to the inside pryor was throwing the ball the way they always throw it at practice so what you have to do is don't make up your mind how you're going to throw it before you get in the situation and see what's going on [Applause] second down at 10. heron bottled up by tim jameson right at the line of scrimmage minute 40 remaining in the third quarter let's talk about our performers of the week paul yeah i took john green of iowa this guy for the 11th time in a row over 100 yards rushing greece nate gimmick he is a senior at mount union he is 114 touchdowns which is the all-time college football in in the history of college football i want to go carrie collins uh the old man of the tennessee titans former big ten player of the year and he's got the titans at 10-0 we're going to check stacy's after the play seems like there's a familiar name underneath her picture [Applause] third down and 10. pryor here comes the pressure again remember all his sacks came on third down today might be another one here but he's buying time and throw it along and it's caught by sansenbacher he threw a duck yeah he threw a duck but zanzerbacher was so wide open it was unbelievable everybody is chasing pryor around he's dodging people and sansa bakker you'll see him way downfield by himself the play is made by number two though around one guy look around another guy two he missed him twice now he throws a duck if he would have thrown this ball solidly he would have caught it and gone in for a touchdown at the 21-yard line first down [Applause] and now heron and heron's got a big hole left side all the way down to the two our performers of the week stacey who's the guy you got well obviously you guys saved the best for last did not take away the luster of the game right now but my brother burke dales he is the punter for the calgary stampeders and they're playing in the grey cup tomorrow and he won the game ball because he saved a touchdown so kudos to my brother very proud system a little sis there you go that ends the third quarter good luck in that title game in the cfl tomorrow yes yes we're going to walk way down to the other end and that's gonna make some fans happy that are in the other end zone because we played three all ohio state right now at home leading michigan 28-7 [Music] [Applause] [Music] on remember this place of course it's where we first met what about

offense chomping at the bit to start the fourth quarter at the michigan two-yard line first and goal prior play action man wide open tipped and almost intercepted a couple of guys had a play on that one in the corner neither could bring it in donovan warren hanging over there rory nickel the tight end was the intended receiver all the skill and all the talent terrell pryor has in his elusiveness this is one thing he's got to improve on the receiver was wide open and he could have gotten the ball to him and did ryan nickel was rory nickel was wide open couldn't get him the ball but you know you can't ask for too much too quickly i guess now you run it second and goal at the two and whistle stop play here [Applause] i guess they thought the defensive guy may have intercepted it before he went out of bounds i thought he had a great play on it but i did not think that he caught it until he was already in the green portion over there the far side so they'll take a look at it let's go back to uh basically the same play and angle and try to take another look at it and again donovan warren number six is the guy there he's got his hands on it at that point he's juggling the ball as he's going out of bounds now he's got right there he's got both hands on the ball he's got one foot down now does he have control of it when he hits the ground can't see it it was a sensational effort and i said almost intercepted because i thought he caught it but i thought he was out of bounds when he finally got the second handle on it right there position yeah look at his left foot is down ness that guy right there could make a call he should looking right at it [Applause] here's another look [Applause] i think he's got it all the way guys yes he does they're going to overturn this they're going to give michigan the ball and he does hold on to it when he lands out of bounds [Music] you see he's not lobbying for anything he thinks he made a pretty good play just to break things up much less if they're going to give him the interception that would be a shocker on a play that everybody i think in this stadium thought was just dead and that it was going to be second and goal at the two that might not be the case and if they overturn this and they start booing i'm leaving get out while you're still safe yeah because they're not i'll say they're building up already the boo well they were booing us the last 30 seconds of our last tv timeout because ohio state couldn't get their offense up there fast enough terrell pryor waiting like everybody else and here's a call the play stands is called incomplete pass i guess they just didn't feel like they had enough evidence to overturn it paul is safe for another play and that was close it was a great play i'm going to give donovan a lot of credit that was a sensational play over there in the corner now they can run it in remember it's harren in there dan herron not beanie wells he's the tailback in the eye second and goal at the two [Applause] he gets the call aaron second touchdown of the day from two yards out [Applause] so ohio state adds to its lead and starting to pull away in this annual rivalry everybody thought maybe this would be what would happen and unless michigan's got some quick answers this is what's going to happen i guess ohio state trying to go to 10-2 and 7-1 in the conference and then they will i'm sure once they get out of the locker room hustle to wherever they're gonna watch the second game today on abc that being penn state and michigan states and they'll be cheering for the spartans the buckeyes that is so dan herron filling in for beanie wells pretty good fill in i'd say second touchdown of the day follows his blockers from two yards out you're watching espn on abc [Music] a young lady coming in the store and she was shopping for a phone for her husband for christmas but she was concerned that he was going to end up finding out i thought i said we can do the upgrade on your

going on vacation baby people are trying to kill us where are you going let's go get him abc's lost the premier event arrives wednesday january 21st on abc 35 to 7 ohio state's rivalry week and this rivalry 105 years in the 105 games it's actually way more than 105 years started in 1897. but the 2008 version is kind of going south on michigan right now they fight over the kick return susoco brings it the other way and again put down at the 22-yard line the ball might be out at the end hold on it was a big collision again and now we've got some shoving again by both teams and there's flags down as well bill lemonier is pulling bodies apart and it is ohio state football and gentlemen i think beckman's going to go in the game [Applause] marcus williams on the bottom of that fumble but we still don't know what the penalty is about we're about to find out following the plane we have dead ball personal fouls we have number 40 on michigan number 10 on ohio state they offset ohio state's ball first down so all those collisions on kick returns today have produced another turnover and here comes senior captain todd beckman as we go back and show you the end of the play and the ball is out right there and covered by marcus williams the big thing is todd beckman in the final game at the horseshoe gets in with maurice wells and well stacked up after a pickup of about a yard i think a lot of you know the todd bachmann story senior captain out of saint henry ohio last year mvp basically the big ten and then here comes the big hot shot recruit terrelle pryor when todd beckman had troubles against usc that's about the last time he saw the field for the most part well he played he has played some this year but surprisingly little than more than he should i thought he should have been in some of the other ball games and who knows if he would have played against penn state that loss may not be there even though prior threw for 225 yards are thereabouts still i mean this guy was your voted captain by the players before the season three games into the season they lose the usc the next game prior gets the start and has started ever since then talked to jim tressel about this very occurrence yesterday and we said coach do we expect to see todd beckman it's his last game he's a senior he's a captain he said only if the game would dictate we said what if the game got out of hand he said we never planned for that and then we said would you put him in just because he's a senior and he said for just a token gesture no we wouldn't well they've got a big lead they've got plenty of time in the ball game they can use them i guess the way they want to use it and here's todd to the end zone touchdown good for him boy he had heart line wide open too this place is going crazy guys i'm telling you [Applause] [Music] [Applause] there's another captain and there's his coach that's just plain a good feeling no matter who you're cheering for in this game [Applause] notorious extra point is good [Music] todd beckmann back where a lot of people think he maybe belonged earlier [Music] that's nice [Music] tyrell fryer says that's my ma that's my guy [Music] 42-7.

pryor there with the hood standing behind his coach his day is done maurice wells going the wrong direction on that play as brandon graham got in there to make the stop the reason terrell pryor's on the sideline if you're just joining us he had a two touchdown day today it was for ohio state a situation where they could give way to their captain quarterback and i don't know you and i are kind of cheering for that we're not cheering for anybody but it's good to see todd beckham to get back and and and i gotta disagree with the way jim tressel handled this whole thing i like jim tressel he knows his team he knows his players but here's the guy that was the mvp of his ball club last year he was a leader of this team this year he was the all big ten quarterback last year he led you to the championship game and after three games you take him in completely out of the mix and he doesn't get in not many of the ball games he got in a couple of them a little bit against northwest but you would think that if he was still in the mix and still active he would have taken some pressure off of the true freshman terrell pryor terrell pryor now pryor went in and played well but there are going to be times through a season the last seven or eight games that your freshman is not going to play well and you're going to need an active todd beckman to come in and throw one of his 30 touchdown passes like he did in his career come in like he did when he just came in here very calmly very i mean he's a he's a he's a passer he's not a runner like pryor but he's a passer and he gets things done through the air he was in there with all the other seniors yesterday in the football offices with lauren addison freeman and company as he goes deep and got his man again at the 35 rubiski senior to senior you know the other thing is some of these senior wide receivers like rubiski and some of the other receivers when they shifted over to pryor a lot of a lot few bars balls came their way he's gonna come down here and just break to the middle but you know grace you were talking about prior throwing the ball to a pre-designated spot watch where becklin throws this ball right on target it's perfect it's roy the pattern was supposed to be run and where the ball was supposed to be thrown he's the prototype big tall pocket passer with a good arm and he's got it down to the 34-yard line again maurice wells wells weaves his way to about the 30. now [Music] take a look at our pacific live game summary statistically up to the minutes and as you might guess a big advantage for ohio state 400 yards in total offense and third down's been a killer for michigan today well how about beckman he's two for two on third down one's a touchdown and what's a long gainer yeah brandon sane joins beckman in the backfield now on second down at six right into michigan 30. [Music] and sane gets the handoff and he'll be dropped for a loss you can help decide the pontiac game-changing performance of the day if you go to espn.com search pontiac to determine which school will win five thousand dollars and a chance to win a hundred thousand dollars at the end of the season get involved vote at espn.com jim cordell the left guard gets up limping and they're going to help him to the sideline well co-champs maybe rose bowl that's still in doubt ohio state's done its job today the next eight and a half minutes then they have to await michigan states and penn state our second game on abc and they'll be watching that one because if the spartans who they beat can upset penn state then the scarlet and gray would be heading to pasadena if not these guys might be headed to a bcs bowl yeah maybe or they'll probably be headed down to orlando in the capital one bowl beckman wells oh did he catch it he did good job maurice wells keeping his eye on the ball had to catch it a couple of times getting back to beckman i know he didn't finish the season strong last year he had a couple of bad games national championship game wasn't a good one and then he started off the season and he didn't play well at usc however he is a commodity he is an asset he is a value to your team and i just feel like they should have kept him active and got him more involved throughout the season comes off now as on fourth down john thomas in to punt [Applause] [Music] drops it at the five and on a one hopper at about the two yard line perfect kick and great coverage michigan in a

of the horseshoe full to the raptors for the 105th meeting of michigan and ohio state it's all ohio state right now michigan you can see where they are right on the one yard line and is it going to be a safety no no they're going to get into the half yard line nathan williams with the hit just remember one thing you know when you're coming out of the end zone the whole ball has to get out going in you just have to touch the line it's looking worse for michigan now as paul said the half yard line the one foot line whatever you want to call it we'll look right down the line of scrimmage with you shaw covers that ball with both hands and got out to the three maybe the four nick patterson made the stop and we're down to 6 40 remaining in the ball game michigan will be dropping to three and nine and this will be a fifth straight win for ohio state over michigan it's never happened before michigan's troubles you can think about their third down conversions they virtually don't have any they're one out of 15 and it's third and eight right here and sheridan's in his own end zone all the way to the michigan bench with that throw rich rodriguez made the catch but it's not a first down and that frustration shows on the face of the first year head coach of the wolverines well there's there's next year this ball club is probably going to be a lot further along offensively just for having gone through this right he's got it he's already signed a couple of freshman quarterbacks that are going to come in january does his type of quarterback that runs and throws and you know just runs a spread option so [Applause] mesco another nice punt all the way out to the 49ers small who had an 81-yard return earlier today he gets this one to the 37-yard line i will lead like tom brady be powerful like joe thomas i will play with passion like mary and barbara and be relentless like bob sanders i will i will i will maurice wells the carrie might have lost a yard on the play muton the outside linebacker made the stop started to talk about todd beckmann earlier that we talked to all the guys in the football office and all the seniors were in there friday afternoon is the day that they all get together and they go to the hospital to visit all the folks there and there are 27 players making their final appearance as seniors as well as student coach chris ricelyn and now todd beckman's getting a big ovation as he's coming off and joe bowserman's going in all the captains and all the seniors can get together and warm up now because their day is done [Applause] second down and 11. brandon sane gets the carry he's wrapped up by charles stewart we abc coming up dancing with the stars lance bass brook burke and warren sapp face off for the last time a new champion will be crowned entire cast of stars is back for the special two-hour season finale the event starts monday at 8 7 central continues on tuesday at 9 8 central on abc who are you taking greece i'm taking the lady brook yep okay i can't argue with you i'd like to argue with you yeah i mean i'd like to take warren warren's done good but the lady's going to win if she doesn't there's something wrong but you know it's the votes that count you folks you vote you sound like tom bergeron tom i'm taking your job you come up here to a game next week i'll come and do dancing with a star maurice wells down to the 32-yard line well the the harsh reality for the michigan kids is the seniors are going to go away and never beat ohio state for the ohio state buckeyes even the fifth year seniors can brag about never losing and they'll get another set of gold pants the little uh medallions there that they give out when you beat michigan yeah it's the 75th anniversary of the first time they gave out the gold pants awards to the seniors if they beat michigan and they have now for what will be in three and a half minutes the fifth straight time why do they give gold pants to ohio state i don't know just what they do i know i mean you know you should give scarlet pants you think it'd be a that's a michigan thing gold pants and the punt rolls inside the 10 again we check in at times square studio here's matt all right brad our nominee for the at t espn all-america player of the week is west virginia's pat white who today became the bulls subdivision career leader in rushing yards by a quarterback he's also accounted for five touchdowns and you know what if that were an att wireless phone he can text his vote at five one two three four to vote for himself [Music] yeah pat would look good here today in almost the same colors that would have helped michigan's offense a little bit justin fagan is the guy that's taking the snaps here in the late stages of the fourth quarter from the nine yard line and he'll just run it to the left and maybe to the 11 don't forget coming up tonight texas tech the red raiders traveling to norman dangerous spot to play football against bob stoops who's got a tremendous road uh home record i should say saturday night football presented by southwest airlines part of rivalry week presented by samsung mobile on abc tonight at eight o'clock did you know that mike leach was one of those coaches that never played yeah football one of a handful yeah charlie weiss two minutes 55 seconds remaining in the ball game you know i got to tell you texas tech their basketball team pat knight warmed up just for the football team 167 to 115 in basketball the other night over east central yeah they only had 10 guys in double figures they had to start scoring when they were in the locker room 167 points pat your old man never put it on anybody that bad i'll tell you that [Applause] much now to the final couple minutes it's going to be a long bus ride for the wolverines back to ann arbor quarterback draw by fagin and out to the 17-yard line our chevrolet players of the game today you're looking at one of them james laurenitis 11 tackles a major impact as always from his linebacker position and brandon miner for michigan in recognition of their effort chevrolet will make a thousand dollar contribution to each university's general scholarship fund who currently holds the nation's longest active regular season win streak at 33 games regular season win streak yes at 33 games i guess you got me there mountain union mount union division you pull that one out every year don't you you've been pulling that out for three years they're only two and a half hours up the road from here well ohio state james laurenitis led the way one of the senior captains a two-time captain and his running mate marcus freeman another a tremendous impact on the ball game today brian rubiski he goes out in his ohio state career in brilliant fashion with a touchdown catch and then heartline from todd beckman those are just some of the senior moments that those guys will be reliving in the locker room and then they'll head and probably watch the ball game together someplace to see what's going to happen between michigan state and penn state again this one puts ohio state in position that if michigan state who ohio state beat earlier this year if michigan state beats penn state in our second game on abc then the buckeyes would be heading to pasadena marc d'antonio the coach up at michigan state's done a great job used to be the coordinator here at ohio state i don't think they're quite ready for that top rung of the big ten yet i think he's done a great job will they nine and two so far i think brian hoyer is going to have to be very effective today they just can't lean on javon ringer and think that that's going to be good enough and penn state joe paw looking for his 383rd career victory another little skirmish going on well that's what it's all about you know it started at 11 36 this morning if you missed the beginning of our ball game as they were heading to the locker rooms these teams had to cross paths and cross paths they did and that's the way it's been for the last three and a half hours now some that's why paul was down here paul you wanted to feel the intensity i think you got the drift from the cam the cart today didn't you hey you know we talked about all the hitting and all the things were going on you showed it most of them were seniors but i'm going to tell you what it was fun down here you could hear everything and they were whacking man they're going to the final gun here final 40 seconds so jim tressel looks out there and says nobody's ever done this he's 7-1 against michigan and he's won five in a row against the wolverines the first time in school history there'll be better days if you're a michigan fan for rich rodriguez and the wolverines who are not going to a bowl game obviously and they drop to three and nine two and six in conference play so the buckeyes 10-2 with a win big time here 42-7 let's check in with stacey coach tressel just your initial sentiment right now finishing a game like this well you know it was a tough ball game it might not look like it with the score but it was a 14-7 game and it was a battle and awfully proud of the way our kids played and and you know it's good to get that win and get part of that big ten championship which is exciting coach what's your reaction to winning five in a row and basically setting history here at ohio state well you know that's what our goal was we knew that no ohio state team had ever done that and we wanted to do that and we did it against a good team coach what will you tell your seniors when you head into the locker room awful proud of them they're an unselfish group willing to do whatever the team needs i'm proud of you last question a bowl game ahead for you guys what do you do for the next few weeks in preparation eat turkey next week and after that i'm not sure stacey perfect thanks coach we asked coach yesterday when you have such great players like laurinitis and all these seniors do you kind of get emotional because you know how bad you're going to miss him he said well i still got a bowl game then i get emotional and realize how much i'm going to miss him let's go back down to state she's with our player of the game james you're our player of the game explain to me what you're feeling right now in your last game here as a buckeye i'm feeling very blessed just to be a part of all this ohio state michigan is the greatest rivalry in sports and to be a part of this and you know my senior year is unbelievable what stands out in this rivalry for you you guys basically set history with five in a row against them i think it's just a passion you know there's so much passion between the schools um you know there's a lot of respect there you know even though there's a heated rivalry there's a lot of respect both have been successful in the past and they will be in the future how do you celebrate with your other seniors tonight oh i don't know how if i can mention that right now you know just sit back reflect on a great career thanks james thank you he told me yesterday he said don't forget to remind everybody my high school wyzat is playing in the state championship in minnesota he's thinking about that and he just won five straight over michigan there you go quite a player quite a game all ohio state 42-7 the final for bob parisi paul mcguire stacey dales i'm brad nessler let's go to john saunders craig james and doug flutie in our new york studios fellas [Applause] all right brad thanks a lot so things are very very simple in the big ten right now penn state getting ready to face michigan state if penn state wins the game then joe paterno and the nittany lions will be headed to the rose bowl as big 10 champions if michigan state were to win the game then the ohio state buckeyes would be the big ten champions so you can bet the ohio state buckeyes right now are headed to their nearest tv set to watch penn state and cheer for the michigan state spartans did you see the standings right there the top three teams with one loss just quickly on this ohio state michigan game michigan's got a long road to go to get back in the one takeaway that we take as athletes or at least i think we do from this football game was the fact that michigan's football team came out in the first half and they played with passion i thought they tried they gave it all that they had they just don't have quite what it takes to go out and compete on a week-to-week basis especially against ohio state but if you go into the off-season doug don't you go in there and say hey look guys we played hard at least and you can build something well you can see what you can do with just the motion and they did in the first half they put themselves in a position to have a chance anyway just from a motion standpoint thing i was happy to see was todd beckman get in the game throw a couple nice balls down the field and show you he did a lot for this team last year took him to a national championship game i was really excited to see him in there and i'm not sold on prior throwing the football yet if i'm penn state now i'm not sure that i'm not a a little bit worried because now michigan state has nothing to lose at this point well and they were already concerned about this game last night i had a chance to speak with tom bradley the defensive coordinator penn state and he was like man you must be bored calling me trying to figure out what you're going to do javon ringer is a tough runner and a tough challenge for penn state's defense but bradley said the thing that concerns him the most is that they throw the ball so well at michigan state and especially when they throw the ball to ringer in the flats that's the challenge for penn state penn state will be motivated they're going to come out they're going to play they're going to get after it here michigan state playing loose we'll see how that responds for them well the trick is to make them one-dimensional and try to take one thing away and you've got to commit to stopping that run game the ring ringer's got 20 rushing touchdowns this year so may courier be the guy to beat you throwing the ball on the other side penn state is two dimensional been balanced all year long they had a couple rough spots but darrell clark's done a great job with that offense and they can throw the ball they got weapons on kick returns as well so they can score a lot of ways penn state one of the one loss teams but not one of the one loss teams that in the talk for the national championship race right now florida would be one of those one lost teams and taking a bit of a break off to face the citadel today for urban meyer tim tebow is going to shake off a tackler and throw to riley cooper 43 yards you know what i i just quite i forgot film study this week john on the citadel i'm not sure does this count do the stats count for the season the cadets they come when they play off get out of here this is the heisman stat thing their third team at florida would go out and compete and beat the citadel teemo three touchdowns
