LOS ANGELES -- After beating Ohio State for the third time in three seasons earlier this year, Michigan defensive lineman Kris Jenkins couldn't believe what he was seeing Friday night as the Buckeyes scored only three points against Missouri in what was a shocking 14-3 Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic loss.

"I'm a hater, but that ain't the team we played against on 25th of November," Jenkins said. "It wasn't sad. But dang, man. You feel me? Does that make sense? Your rival, y'all hate each other, but you want them to play good. But that was tough to watch."

The Buckeyes were notably missing several players, including Heisman finalist Marvin Harrison Jr.; linebacker Tommy Eichenberg, who led the team with 80 tackles before the bowl; and safety Lathan Ransom. They were also down to their third-string quarterback, freshman Lincoln Kienholz, after Kyle McCord transferred to Syracuse earlier this month and Devin Brown left the game in the middle of the second quarter with a high left ankle sprain. Their offense finished with only 203 total yards.

"We rivals and all that, but that man's a beast," Jenkins said of Harrison. "That man can play ball. So, I mean, if he ain't in..."

When asked about Harrison opting out of the bowl game and whether teams should be critiqued on bowl game performances given the number of players opting out, Jenkins said teams should not be judged on it.

"If they want to opt out, they should definitely be able to opt out," Jenkins said. "But yeah, honestly, you shouldn't [judge teams] for real because that definitely wasn't the team you've seen. You turn on the tape, like, all the regular season, and you didn't see that team."

As the playoff prepares to expand to 12 teams next season, Jenkins said he doesn't foresee a situation where players with high NFL draft projections opt out of games that matter in the playoff bracket.

While a title team's potential schedule will expand to 16 games, likely extending the college football season, Jenkins alluded to the fact that any team with at least an outside chance at winning it all will retain players who are thinking about leaving, for the NFL or for the transfer portal.

Looks like they finally are improving.

How many freshman do we have in the starting lineup this year?
Thanks

Penn State has vaulted up the list for 2026 tight end Lincoln Watkins after extending the Michigan native an offer on Saturday.

“I think it's definitely gonna be one of those main ones that we look at and we'll come back to for sure”

Dead at 43 with her BF. Either a suicide pact or drug overdose. She was a top porn star for many years. I guess that life isn’t as cool as it seems! Seriously, sad to see this happen to people

Reynolds has all the tools to be a standout tight end and a big piece of Penn State's offense down the road.

Where do I find this?

Here was the situation today in the Minnesota/Rutgers match:

Minnesota is ahead 17-12 in the team score and the meet is in the final match (133). Minnesota is behind 4-1 but gets the takedown with 5 seconds left to tie the match at 4. Clock is stopped at 5 seconds remaining in the third period and there is a new start with Minnesota on top.

The only way Rutgers can win the dual is to get a tech fall or pin. TF is pretty unlikely (next to impossible) so realistically Rutgers needs a pin. Can't get it in regulation in all likelihood.

If you are the coach of Minnesota, do you A) instruct your 133 to give up the escape, thereby losing the match 5-4 but avoiding any real chance of Rutgers pulling out the dual meet win (the ultimate, I guess, in taking one for the team)?

Or do you B) take your chances and wrestle out the match, figuring your wrestler will avoid the pin?

Is the first choice too cynical or genius?

This is one of my favorites. I can’t wait for Bainey Vs Gill. Perry is looking tough. Walizer at 145. Any insight on who Simcox lost to at wrestle offs? Could you imagine that. Perry vs Simcox. Best two 139 aaa guys in the state wrestling off to make the team. Wonder who drew the short stick and had to ref that one.

Four different high schools in 4 years. This young man seems to be in need of some guidance and direction. Already enrolled and it seems like he could be either the surprise of Spring practices with him earning a spot in the rotation for 2024 to burn his redshirt, or at the other extreme not on the roster after the Spring. Cunningham may be Barnes' personal mentorship forcus this semester, and I'm looking forward to a possible mention of him by the S&C staff as winter S&C goes along. The DL could surely use a war daddy DT that has the size and strength to clog up the whole middle of the DL against running teams such as UM.

This weekend saw lots of 165lb action and 165 looks like a mess to rank/seed at this point in the year.
Clear #1 is KOT
After that it gets complicated, going into today Intermat had it
2. Olejnik (Wins over Heller, Amine and Ramirez, and in All-Star match Hamiti)
3. Ramirez (Wins over Carr and Heller)
4. Carr (Wins over Amine, Heller, Hamiti, Caliendo + he's David Carr)
5. Amine (Pedigree alone)
6.Hamiti ( Wins over Hall and Fish)
7. Caliendo (Win over teammate PK+ Pedigree)
8. Heller (Pedigree)
9. Hall (Win over fish +Pedigree)
10. Messenbrink (Win over teammate TB + TF over #13 Olguin + he looks so good)
11. Fish (Pedigree+ win over #12 Thompson)

But today #9 Hall beat # 2 Olejnik and #11 Fish beat #5 Amine. Only undefeated guys are KOT and MM.
How do we think the rankings should shake out?
Personally I would have it
1. KOT
2. Carr
3. MM
4. Ramirez
5. Olejnik
6. Hamiti
7. Hall
8. Caliendo
9. Fish
10. Amine
11. Heller
But anywhere between 2-10 can be mixed around with at least some reasonable argument

125: Davis: True Freshman and Has 3 competition dates
141: Bartlett: Sr with a covid year remaining
141: Kasak:
165: Facundo: ORS with 3 more competition years
184: Barr: ?

But this tracks wrestlers within the season.

Please add what you know and I will update this top post

Keith Bruno's ongoing career as a special teams coach is getting a major boost.

Sources tell FootballScoop that Bruno is leaving his post with Temple football to become the new special teams analyst for James Franklin's Penn State program.

In addition to his work at Temple, Bruno also has three years' experience assisting with coaching the special teams at Rutgers.

Also noted for his defensive work, Bruno has past experience as a defensive coordinator at St. Lawrence and also was on staff in a variety of roles at his alma mater, Albright College.....

This is the headline from a recent Flo interview with Tan Tom. I’m afraid he and the twin gnomes are grasping at straws. They have no clue how to close the ever widening gap between their programs and PSU.
