Injury Alert: DeMarvion Overshown out for the remainder of the game

Texas Longhorns DB DeMarvion Overshown will not return

In a tough game for Texas, the hits just keep on coming. Earlier, Keaontay Ingram got injured on what would be the best play of the game for the Longhorns’ offense. Ingram injured his ankle and will not return. Now, DB DeMarvion Overshown is also out for the remainder of the game with an ankle injury.

Texas hasn’t gotten anything going, and Baylor is having it’s way with the Longhorns, as the Bears lead 24-3 in the fourth quarter. If you aren’t doing anything anyway and want to check out the end of the game, Here is everything you need to know to watch, listen, or stream.

Badgers lead Boilermakers, 24-17, in record-breaking first half

Taylor and Hintze set some records in the first half of the Badgers’ Senior Day

At the half in Camp Randall, No. 12 Wisconsin led the unranked Boilermakers, 24-17.

In an action filled first-half, there could have been even more points had the Badgers not lost two fumbles, courtesy of AJ Taylor and All-American Jonathan Taylor.

That being said, there were a couple records that occurred in the first 30 minutes in Madison, and it was mostly good from Jonathan Taylor in likely his final home game as a Badger.

In the first quarter of the game, Taylor took a handoff for a modest gain, but in doing so, set a record for the most rushing yards by any player in the history of college football (FBS) in any span of three seasons, then with 5,658 yards in the three-year span. Taylor broke all-time great Herschel Walker’s record.

Then, with two seconds left in the second quarter, head coach Paul Chryst trotted out UW’s kickoff man, Zach Hintze, to attempt a 62-yard field goal, as follows:

Hintze, in remarkably just his second career attempt at a field goal, nailed the 62-yarder by a matter of inches, and set the Camp into a frenzy into the halftime recess.

The 62-yard field goal is a new Wisconsin record.

With Wisconsin only leading 24-17 at the break, there are certainly turnovers and defense to clean up in the second half, but it is always impressive to see a couple records broken in just one half of Senior Day.

Rodrigo Blankenship is now Georgia football’s all-time leading scorer

UGA K Rodrigo Blankenship is now Georgia football’s all-time leading scorer.

Rodrigo Blankenship is probably the most beloved kicker in the history of Georgia football, maybe even in all of college football.

And on Saturday, which happens to be Senior Day for him, he proved that he is deserving of that title, becoming the school’s all-time leading points scorer.

With his third field goal vs Texas A&M, Blankenship passed former Georgia kicker Blair Walsh for first in school history, and also passed him for second in SEC history.

Hot Rod, with 415, trails only Auburn’s Daniel Carlson, who finished his career with 480 in 2017.

Congratulations to Blankenship.

Respect the Specs.

Injury Alert: Texas RB Keaontay Ingram out for the remainder of the Baylor game

Injury Alert: Texas RB Keaontay Ingram out for the remainder of the Baylor game

More unfortunate news for the Texas Longhorns. On his 68-yard run to put Texas in field goal range at the end of the first half, Keaontay Ingram injured his ankle and Texas announced that he will not return to the game. Roschon Johnson is used to stepping up, so hopefully he can provide the energy the Longhorns need to come back from a two-score deficit in the second half.

A win here against the Bears gives Texas something to build on going forward and represents some movement in the right direction after a season that has not gone according to plan. Here is everything you need to know to watch, listen, or stream the game.

Watch what Penn State head coach James Franklin said about Ohio State postgame

Penn State head coach James Franklin met with the media after his team lost to Ohio State. He was very complimentary of this Buckeye team.

Penn state came to Columbus intent on knocking off a No. 2 ranked Ohio State team that seems to be on a path to greatness. It fell down early 21-0 but battled back to cut the lead to 21-17 before both defenses tightened up.

In the end, the Nittany Lions lost to the Buckeyes 28-17 and will now try to finish out the season on a high note against Rutgers next week. We like their chances here at Buckeyes Wire.

As we always do, we like to bring you the comments of the opposing coach after each Ohio State game, and we’ve got head coach James Franklin’s comments for you thanks to the YouTube channel of Blue White Illustrated.

Watch: Cameron “Dicker the kicker” puts the Longhorns on the board with last-second field goal

Watch: Cameron “Dicker the kicker” puts the Longhorns on the board with last-second field goal

Texas didn’t play a great first half. The offense never got into rhythm, and continuously stalled on drive after drive. Keaontay Ingram put the team on his back as he gashed the Baylor defense for 68-yards to give Cameron Dicker (the kicker) a shot to put the Longhorns on the board. Dicker predictably knocks it through, and Texas heads into the locker room for the half down 7-3 to the Baylor Bears.

A win here against the Bears gives Texas something to build on going forward and represents some movement in the right direction after a season that has not gone according to plan. Here is everything you need to know to watch, listen, or stream the game.

Watch: Keaontay Ingram scampers 68 yards seconds before halftime

Texas Longhorns RB Keaontay Ingram gives Texas the spark it needed, getting into field goal range with seconds left

The Longhorns really needed this. With 18 seconds before halftime, Texas was down 7-0 to the Baylor Bears and backed up to its own end zone. The Longhorns hand the ball off to Keaontay Ingram to run the clock down and head to the locker room, but Ingram takes it 68 yards into field goal range with 4 seconds on the clock. Check out the long run here:

Halftime Analysis of No. 13 Michigan vs Indiana

Michigan football is up 21-14 against Indiana today at halftime. How are the Wolverines playing as they hold the seven-point lead?

[jwplayer D9wQpQCg-XNcErKyb]

After their big 44-10 win over Michigan State last week, Michigan had to travel to Indiana to take on the Hoosiers as they look to try and avoid the trap as Ohio State is looming in the background.

The trap started out as one as Indiana drove down the field against the Wolverines and scored off a one-yard touchdown run by running back Stevie Scott. Quarterback Peyton Ramsey was 4/5 for 39 yards and had 13 rushing yards on the drive as he was confident attacking the Wolverines defense.

Michigan wouldn’t be phased by the early score from Indiana, as quarterback Shea Patterson was perfect on the drive, going 7/7 for 79 yards and a six-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Ronnie Bell, his first this season after he’s been struggling to get in the end zone.

Indiana would struggle on their next drive as Ramsey got hit as he threw and safety Daxton Hill, who is starting for the first time this season, intercepted the ball. Michigan wouldn’t move much on their drive and would end up punting the football.

After the interception, Indiana would have another solid drive that went 52 yards on seven plays as Ramsey got into the endzone on a one-yard quarterback sneak to give Indiana the lead once again.

Michigan didn’t let them enjoy the lead for long as once again Patterson helps drive the team down the field. Running back Zach Charbonnet got his first carry for 22 yards to open the field, but Patterson overthrew on two easy touchdown passes. He would want the tough touchdown as he threw a beautiful 11-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones who made a wonderful catch as well. Michigan ties it up at 14.

After three straight punts, two by Indiana and one by Michigan, the Wolverines would break the punt spell as Patterson just threw up an 18-yard pass to wide receiver Nico Collins that would be caught for a touchdown as Collins just used his size to dominate the defender and give Michigan the 21-14 lead, their first of the day.

POSITIVES:

  • Michigan’s passing game is working well once again. Patterson is 13/18 for 176 yards and three touchdowns. Earlier in the year, we saw a more run-first approach for the Wolverines offense as they seemed to adjust to their old playstyle. Now the offense seems to have switched to a pass-first approach as Patterson is playing his best football this season.
  • The wide receivers for Michigan are getting open against the Indiana secondary. On two of the incomplete passes by Patterson, he overthrew two wide-open receivers for touchdowns. The Indiana secondary is having trouble covering the multiple weapons from Michigan as they don’t know what else they can do.

NEGATIVES:

  • Michigan has five penalties so far today for 44 yards. While the yards aren’t much, they have hurt themselves on defense with two penalties in the secondary. On offense, a false start and an intentional grounding forced Michigan to punt on their second possession. Special teams even got a penalty as tight end Erik All was taunting. Just mistakes everywhere by the team that is only helping Indiana stay in this game.
  • Michigan hasn’t had much success when running the football so far, as the team has 16 carries for 56 yards. The longest run as been by Charbonnet who got off a 22-yard run. Besides that big gain, it’s been tough getting yards on the ground for the Wolverines.
  • Punter Will Hart is having his worst game of the season so far today. He has three punts for just 94 yards with his longest being 39 yards. The poor punts gave Indiana some good field position when they came back onto the field on two of the three punts. His third punt was his best so far today, so maybe he has figured out his issues.

Justin Fields “good” says Ryan Day after injury scare against Penn State

Ohio State head coach Ryan Day said that quarterback Justin Fields is “good” after an injury scare late in the 4th quarter vs. Penn State.

Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields finally got to feel what it’s like to play four quarters in a college football game. It didn’t look that way early on with Ohio State getting out to a 21-0 lead early in the third quarter, but some mistakes allowed Penn State back in the game.

So, Fields stayed in to finish the deal and lead the Buckeyes to a hard fought and resilient 28-17 win in front of a sold out Ohio Stadium crowd.

It wasn’t without a scare though. That same crowd that was noisy and boisterous all day became as quiet as over 100,000 fans can when Fields went down in a heap after a hard tackle by Penn State late in the game. At the time, the Buckeyes were leading 28-17 and went for it on 4th and five with just 2:17 remaining in the game.

The crowd came to its senses once again with applause when Fields sprung up and jogged a little under his own power. This all after being checked on by the medical staff for a couple of minutes with some pretty astronomical goals still hanging in the balance.

After the game, Ohio State head coach Ryan Day was asked about the injury and how Fields is doing. It should also be noted that the Buckeye signal-caller did come back into the game to take the final knee.

Day said that Fields was “good,” and went on to equate him to a warrior and said he had “a heart of a lion.”

More like ripped the heart of a (Penn State) lion out.

Ohio State can ill-afford to lose Fields if it has designs of continuing this special journey the team has been on. Not when a trip to Ann Arbor, Indianapolis and beyond is next along the way.

Sorry Michigan fans, it looks like No. 1 will be slinging it around next week in the Big House.
