Here's the Hottest Headlines during the Thanksgiving Weekend.
SELIVE HOT 5 (THANKSGIVING WEEKEND)
(1) Michigan Defeats OSU
The Wolverines was able to stop Ohio State for the first time in 10 years 42-27 in Ann Arbor.
The Buckeyes were not able to stop the run, as Haskins ran for 5 TD's, a record. With the win Michigan will play Iowa in the Big Ten Championship. Ohio State falls to 10-2 and will play in a New Years bowl game that will be determined at a later date. offensively it was a good performance, but defensive and coaching wasn't on their "A Game" which sealed the deal.
(2) Bearcats Now Sit at 12-0; Will face Houston in AAC Championship
The Cincinnati Bearcats went on the road and handled business by defeating East Carolina 35-13 to stay undefeated. With the solid win it keeps the Bearcats in the thick of the College Football playoff standings (which drops today).
After a slow 1st quarter Desmond Ridder and the running game got going, as he hit Springfield grad Leonard Taylor on a 44-yard TD strike. Taylor made a nice play to get in the end zone and launch a 21- point outburst in the 2nd quarter. Jerome Ford and Alex Pearce would find the end zone to turn a 3-0 deficit into a 21-3 lead at half.
(3) Dayton Upsets Kansas, Then Wins Tournament
The UD Flyers went to the ESPN Invitational in Orlando with concerns of inconsistency; By the time they came back, they were ESPN Invitational Champions as Coach Anthony Grant took his young squad and won 3 games to hoist the championship.
In the semifinal, the Flyers pulled off a comeback against one of the elite programs and coaches in the country in Bill Self and the Kansas Jayhawks to get the game to 73-72, then watched Mustapha Amzil drop a 15-ft fadeaway floater that will go down in the books as one of the great shots in Flyer history.
Dayton would then defeat Belmont 63-61 in the Final to win the ESPN Invitational. Freshman PG and younger brother of "Scoochie Smith" Malachi Smith won the MVP Award. Dayton now sits at 5-3 and should have some confidence to take their season to a Top 25 level, even with a young core of players.
(4) Springfield, Winton Woods, Badin, Clinton Massie to State Final
The Springfield Cats rode their senior quarterback to a comeback win over the Moeller Crusaders in OHSAA State semifinal football action. Moeller held a 14-10 lead but Springfield went on a game clinching 12-7 run to grab a spot in the OHSAA State Finals in Canton, Ohio this weekend.
Ta'Sean Smoot, the odds on favorite to win Ohio Mr Football, led the Cats to 2 TD drives late in the 2nd half to help seal the deal. The defense closed the door, catapulting the Cats to the D-1 Championship on Friday night.
Winton Woods also secured a OHSAA State Final Berth after a big semifinal win. Woods would force 4 turnovers in knocking off Green and was led by dynamic RB TyRek Spikes ran for 129 yards in the win.
Badin showed why their defense could be second to none after shutting out Granville 14-0. Badin will now play for a D-3 Title after running through the GCL and now smacking opponent after opponent.
(5) Trotwood Stops Chaminade-Julienne as Basketball Season Jumps off
The Trotwood Rams got off to a great start of the basketball season by knocking off the State Semifinalst in C-J in a close game. Last season wasnt good for either team, until C-J got to the tournament and went on a huge run to the State.
This game shows that the Rams could be back to its winning ways. Tim Carpenter and Delamarr Blanton led the charge for Trotwood. Evan Dickey and Johnathan Powell led the Eagles in the loss.
(6) NFL Ohio: Bengals Crush Steelers; Browns Fall To Ravens Despite 4 Ints by Defense
The Cincinnati Bengals pulled out a can of smackdown on the Pittsburgh at home by the score of 41-10. The Steelers was no match for the riled up Bengals who now have won 2 in a row after a 2-game skid. The Steelers couldn't get anything going and the murmurs of Big Ben riding into the sunset have started to gain more steam. The Bengals now sit at 7-4 while the Steelers sit at 5-5-1. Joe Mixon went crazy on the Steelers, rushing for over 160 and using his physicality to the max.
The Browns fell to the Baltimore Ravens after a very ineffective performance from the offense. The defense gave the Browns every chance to win, intercepting Lamar Jackson 4 times and holding the Ravens to 16 points. However, the Browns offense was inept, and now Cleveland sits at 6-6 with some questions headed into the final portion of the regular season. Baltimore is now 8-3.
