If you’re like me (read: cheap), you’ve probably cut ties with your local cable/satellite TV provider by now in favor of some other streaming option. If you’re also like me (read: lazy), you’d want to have every possible sports channel included so as to avoid having to get up from the couch and go out into the public to watch a game. Now, let me do you one better.
The season continues to fly by at supersonic speeds, even if certain games plod by like the mascot of Ohio State’s next opponent. Ohio State’s 26-6 win at Michigan State wasn’t a beauty contest but I think it’s gorgeous to get a 100-yard rusher against the country’s top run defense and regardless of how inept the Spartans…
Ohio State and Michigan State squared off on a cold and windy day last Saturday. Michigan State featured the nation’s top rush defense, allowing 2.52 yards per carry.
