Winner can stake claim as Big Ten’s elite team

By Bill Rabinowitz
The Columbus Dispatch

The month-and-a-half of
prelims are finally over. The
main event is here.
No. 2 Penn State vs. No. 6
Ohio State.
It is not hyperbole to say
that this game represents a
line of demarcation for the
Buckeyes. Beat the Nittany
Lions and the Buckeyes have
a clear — though not particu-
larly easy — path to the Big
Ten championship game and
a return trip to the College
Football Playoff. Lose, and
it’s hello to an afterthought
bowl game.
But there may be even
more at stake. Since coach
Urban Meyer took over the
Buckeyes’ program and went
undefeated in 2012, Ohio
State has been the perceived
king of the conference. That
the Buckeyes have won only
one Big Ten title — in 2014
on their way to the national
championship — seems more
of an oddity than a true indi-
cator of their status in the
league.

Win-or-else games are why college football is best

N
o disrespect to
the NFL, but for
my money college
football outplays its profes-
sional cousin in capturing
and keeping our attention
through an entire season.
One and done? Maybe
not. But lose two and it’s
toodle-oo.
In the NFL, lose once in
September and oh well,
there’s always next week.
Lose again in October and
— yawn — it’s a long and
forgiving season.
In college, lose once —
whenever it occurs — and
the season goes on red alert.
Lose twice and it all goes up
in smoke.
Essentially, the entire
season is a playoff. And
that’s a beautiful thing.
Consider Saturday’s
monster Big Ten matchup
between No. 6 Ohio State
and No. 2 Penn State at Ohio
Stadium. It is both a Black-
out Game for fans — though
with the Buckeyes’ alternate
uniforms shouldn’t it be a
Grayout? — and a knockout
game for the Buckeyes (and
probably the Nittany Lions)
in that a loss erases them
from the playoff picture.
One game for everything.
Rob Oller
Except that next week’s
game is for everything, too.
Every Saturday means no
room for glitches, because
glitches get you bounced out
the door onto the sidewalk,
where the only option is to
dust yourself off and get
ready for a nonplayoff bowl
game.
Again, give me college over
the NFL, in part because
pageantry matters. The
bands. Even the mascots.
Corny? Perhaps, but at the
moment this country could
use more corny.
I know the counter-argu-
ment: Why watch college
football when the talent is
inferior to the NFL? And
this: You call it entertain-
ment when Ohio State clubs
Rutgers by 56 points? Parity
keeps the NFL interesting.
Valid points, except dif-
fering levels of talent exist
even at the pro level. Are
we not supposed to watch
when New England plays
Cleveland? OK, bad example.
But you get the idea. If the
point is to play only the best
against the best, then the
NBA should schedule Cleve-
land against Golden State
every night.
Plus, Ohio State vs. UNLV
makes Ohio State vs. Penn
State feel that much bigger.
On the anticipation meter,
I rate Saturday as an eight
out of 10. It’s bigger than the
Oklahoma game but does
not quite match what the
atmosphere would be like if
an undefeated Michigan was
the opponent. No matter, it’s
huge.
If Michigan is The Game,
Penn State is The Same. In
some ways the Buckeyes
share more in common with
the Nittany Lions than the
Wolverines. Two state uni-
versities located in regions
rich in football talent, where
football rules the roost.
Now comes the revenge
game, for both teams. Ohio
State remembers the fluky
loss to Penn State in 2016.
The Nittany Lions remem-
ber getting slighted by the
committee, which sent the
Buckeyes to the playoff and
them to the Rose Bowl. The
winner controls its destiny.
The loser braces for a poten-
tial bowl game in Florida. Did
I say eight out of 10? Make
that a nine.
So who wins? And who
comes away devastated?
That is not being overdra-
matic. A loss leaves a mark
that runs from one end of
Ohio to the other.
“If you’re not thinking
about (a national champion-
ship), the whole city is. You
can’t escape it,” said Kirk
Barton, the former Ohio
State offensive tackle who
experienced the highs and
lows of seasons in which one
loss — to Florida in the 2007
BCS championship game and
to LSU in the 2008 BCS title
game — meant the difference
between going out a legend
and going out as just another
OSU team.
Barton also played on the
2005 team that he labels as
Jim Tressel’s most talented.
“We lost to Texas and it
was a close game,” Barton
said of the 25-22 loss to the
Longhorns at Ohio Sta-
dium. “We thought we still
had a chance to play for the
national title, then we lost
(17-10) at Happy Valley and
knew we were out of the
race. The dream was dead.”
Wait a minute, there was
still the Michigan game, the
one some fans say redeems
even the worst of seasons if
the Buckeyes win.
Nice try.
“At Ohio State you either
win the national champi-
onship or the season is a
failure,” said Barton, who
also coached at Ohio State
as a quality control coach
and graduate assistant under
Luke Fickell and Urban
Meyer. “People can act like
that’s not the truth, but for
teams that won a national
championship it’s a different
standard.
“If you win the Rose Bowl
or Sugar Bowl or Fiesta Bowl,
it’s just not enough. People
can say that’s unfair, but the
pendulum has to swing both
ways. Teams that win it all
are revered, and that’s what
you sign up for. That’s the
goal, and when you pull it
off, it’s amazing.”
Ohio State needs to turn
back Penn State on Saturday
to have a shot at pulling it
off. A difficult chore indeed.

Key Factors
Defensive discipline

1 Penn State running back Saquon Barkley will get his yards, and quarterback Trace
McSorley will improvise his way into some chunk plays. The key is for those to be
the exception and not the rule. Barkley has been bottled up in some games this year,
and Ohio State’s defensive linemen are talented enough to contain him. But they have
to be disciplined. One missed assignment can result in a touchdown. As for McSorley,
a smart pass rush that forces him to remain in a shrinking pocket is essential.

Protect Barrett

2 Pass protection was a major issue last year against Penn State. OSU quarterback J.T.
Barrett has shown that when given time and available receivers, he can pick apart
defenses. Ohio State’s passing game has made dramatic improvement since the Oklahoma
game, but it has been against inferior competition. Penn State has by some measures the
top pass defense in the country. Barrett will need protection to go through his reads and
receivers will need time to gain separation. The right side of the Ohio State line — tackle
Isaiah Prince and Demetrius Knox (making his second start) — must be up to the task.

Limit turnovers

3 In a game that figures to be close, this is always a crucial stat. Both teams have been
careful with the ball, losing it only six times apiece on turnovers. Penn State has been
opportunistic on takeaways, converting their 18 into 87 points. With chilly, breezy conditions
expected — and perhaps a lingering shower — ball security will become even more important.

Tighten up special teams

4 After what happened last year, this is an obvious one. Barkley is a threat in any
capacity, including as a kickoff returner. Ohio State has had trouble pinpointing
its kickoffs, and if the Buckeyes don’t put it toward the left corner — or deep into the
end zone — they will flirt with disaster. Ohio State hasn’t allowed a punt return to
any opponent this season, but the Buckeyes’ punt return game has been too quiet.

IN THE SPOTLIGHT
Jason
Cabinda
LB, PENN STATE
By Tim May
The Columbus Dispatch
Jason Cabinda is no secret
agent. He wears No. 40
proudly as a member of the
Penn State defense, the top-
ranked unit in the Big Ten.
It will behoove quarter-
back J.T. Barrett and the
Ohio State offense to keep
an eye on No. 40 Saturday at
Ohio Stadium. On a talented
defense, he has often been
the catalyst for big plays,
like last week in a win over
Michigan.
“I think he’s the heart and
soul of their defense, I’m
talking about a real run-stop-
per,” Barrett said. “I think
they feed off the energy he
brings to that defense. But as
a far as understanding where
he’s at (from play to play), I
don’t think he gives you tips

on anything. They have him

Barrett and the Buckeyes
found that out last season
at Penn State. A couple of
need to be wide awake by
3:30 p.m. Saturday when
the Buckeyes play No. 2
Penn State. In a similar
circumstance a week ago, the
Nittany Lions and running
back Saquon Barkley caught
the Michigan defense off-
guard at the start.
On the second offensive
play of the game, Barkley
made a quick shift with quar-
terback Trace McSorley that
went almost unrecognized by
the Wolverines, then took a
direct snap, faked a handoff
to McSorley and raced 69
yards for a touchdown that
set the tone in a 42-13 win for
special-teams gaffes had
put the Buckeyes behind in
a game they seemed to have
in hand. Cabinda, who had
not played for several weeks
because of injury, was in on
the Nittany Lions. It was a
quick lesson in being gap-
sound on the line and being
alert, but it came at the cost
of a seven-point deficit.
It also was a wakeup call a
week early for the Ohio State
defense.
“They’re going to have
something that we haven’t
seen before, and we’ve just
got to apply our rules, do
our job, and it’s going to
work out,” Baker said. “The
hard part is just being calm
and don’t panic. As soon as
you panic, that’s when you
miss your assignment and
— touchdown.
THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH   | G5
13 tackles, including a sack of
Barrett that helped stop Ohio
State’s final drive.
Michigan took similar
treatment last week from
Cabinda and his teammates,
“With a back like that, if you
miss your gap, he’s gone.”
The Nittany Lions also use
Barkley as a slot receiver and
sometimes split wide. Last
week, they gained favorable
matchups with Barkley against
Michigan linebacker Mike
McCray that they exploited in
the passing game.
They are going against an
Ohio State defense and line-
backers group that showed
vulnerabilities in the lone loss
to Oklahoma, when Soon-
ers dual-threat quarterback
Baker Mayfield sometimes
caught the Buckeyes charg-
ing as on a running play
who totaled seven sacks
while wreaking havoc.
“We had to come out and
make a statement,” Cabi-
nda said. The idea was to get
Michigan to “third-and-
medium, third-and-long,
where we can let our D-line
loose, and that’s what they
love.”
The point being, Cabinda
is not the only worry for the
Ohio State offense.
“He’s a spectacular ath-
lete,” center Billy Price said.
“Watching him on film, very
impressive. But as an offense,
as you go to attack, you can’t
be focused in on one player,
because one player does not
make a defense.
“A defense is run off of
momentum, it runs off of
energy. So again … let’s just
go out and execute the way
we know how to play ball. I
know Jason is going to give
us everything he’s got, same
thing with (safety) Marcus
(Allen), same thing with their
front four, all the guys they
step on the field with.”
tmay@dispatch.com
@TIM_MAYsports
when they should have been
retreating for a pass. Baker
said he is sure the Nittany
Lions will try something
similar.
“We definitely panicked,”
Baker said. “The whole Okla-
homa game, after the loss, it
really humbled us. That was
the biggest thing. In a way
it was a blessing in disguise.
That’s why this game we’re
taking it as, we’re not who
we thought we were; better
go out there and work. So it’s
definitely going to be fun.”

RECRUITING WATCH
Visits by top recruits ups ante on big-game weekend
By Tim May
The Columbus Dispatch
It’s a huge weekend for the
Ohio State football program.
Is it because the sixth-
ranked Buckeyes are
playing No. 2 Penn State with
national and Big Ten East
ramifications? Well, yes,
that too.
But it’s also because Ohio
State is hosting official visits
for several major prospects
they are still trying to make
part of the 2018 recruiting
class.
“The two biggest week-
ends of the year were always
going to be for the Oklahoma
game and for the Penn State
game,” Bucknuts recruit-
ing analyst Bill Kurelic said.
“From an official visit stand-
point, this one is probably
bigger.”
Among the dozen or so
top prospects expected at
Ohio Stadium are offensive
lineman Jackson Carman of
Fairfield; defensive lineman
Tyreke Smith of Cleveland
Heights; offensive lineman
Jamaree Salyer of Atlanta;
receiver Kamryn Babb of
St. Louis; and quarterback
Emory Jones of Franklin,
Georgia.
Carman is uncommitted
and has at least three visits
to other schools, including
Clemson. Smith is believed
to be down to Ohio State or
Penn State. Salyer is said to
be a long shot for OSU, and is
believed to be leaning toward
Georgia or Clemson. Babb
is said to be favoring Ohio
State.
Jones has long been com-
mitted to the Buckeyes, but
Alabama is making a strong
PLAY OF THE WEEK
Spread,

By Tim May

Here’s the thing about Penn
State running back Saquon
Barkley: Sometimes he’s a
wide receiver.
Not that he will ever be
confused with, say, Jerry Rice.
But as Michigan was the latest
to find out last week, Barkley
is willing to swing out wide,
run credible routes and, more
often than not, make the
catch.

and his staff is that they will

to remain in the discus-

a football game they need to
win.
“What’s good is a lot of the
prospects are coming in on
Saturday instead of Friday,
because most of them have
games on Friday night. So
that will give the coaches
Sunday and perhaps part of
Monday to make sure the
prospects get the proper
attention on their official
visits.”
Meyer leaves the logistics
for such weekends to player
personnel director Mark
Pantoni, whose staff handles
the scheduling for the pros-
pects, including alone time
with Meyer.
“To be honest with you, I
just listen and do what I’m
supposed to do,” Meyer said.
Despite the burden
posed by hosting big-time
prospects on a big-game
weekend, Kurelic said there
are some obvious pluses.
“For the game itself, it
will be an unbelievable
atmosphere leading up to it,
with all the hype, the ESPN
GameDay being on campus
again, the alternate uni-
forms the Buckeyes will be
wearing, something recruits
seem to like a lot,” Kurelic
said. “With all that stuff, it
doesn’t get any better — if
they win.
“The minus, of course, is
you can lose the game. And
obviously it makes things a
little tougher on Saturday
night and Sunday in terms of
atmosphere. But in terms of
showcasing what the Ohio
State experience is all about,
that’s the chance you take.”

Marcus Baugh almost gave up
after a tough start, but the senior
stuck it out and was rewarded
By Bill Rabinowitz | The Columbus Dispatch

true meaning eluded Marcus
Baugh for most of his Ohio
State career.
Strain.
Playing for the Buckeyes is a grind.
Nothing but maximum effort is
acceptable. What players believe that
is and what coaches deem it to be can
be worlds apart.
For most of his Ohio State career,
Baugh believed he was giving his best.
Only recently has the tight end realized
that he really hadn’t been straining to
do his best.
“For the past 3 or 4 years, I heard it
almost every day,” Baugh said as the
Buckeyes prepared for their showdown
against No. 2 Penn State. “I never
really understood what it was. Now
I’m doing it. I must have figured it out.
I always thought I was going hard, but
I was actually never going hard. I just
decided to put it all out there and let it
go.”
And so he has. Baugh has become an
integral part of the Buckeyes’ offense,
both as a receiver and as a blocker.
The senior from Riverside, Califor-
nia, has unusual agility for a 6-foot-5,
250-pounder. Against Maryland,
Baugh hurdled a defender on a touch-
down catch.
But a play against Rutgers might
have been more significant. Baugh
sprinted 20 yards to make the final
block to spring receiver Johnnie Dixon
for a touchdown.
It was effort that drew praise in the
meeting room during video review.
“My teammates were all happy
(for me),” Baugh said. “It was a good

•••
Flash back to his freshman year.
Baugh had made up his mind. He had
purchased a plane ticket home to
California.
The start of his Buckeyes career had
gone badly. Baugh was only 17 when he
arrived on campus. Like many college
freshmen away from home for the first
time, he wanted to enjoy his freedom.
“I didn’t know my limits,” he said. “I
didn’t know my boundaries.”
Twice during his freshman year,
which he spent redshirting, Baugh was
cited for underage drinking and sus-
pended from the team each time.
“I was really worried,” said Debbie
Clausen, his mother. “He was ready to
quit. I was totally against it. ‘No way
you’re coming home. You’re not going
to quit.’”
Baugh said his father also counseled
him to stay, but it was a tough sell.
“I told the coaches that I was quit-
ting,” he said. “I didn’t show up to
workouts. I was going to leave at the
end of the week. I was pretty close.
Things weren’t going how I thought
they would when I came in. I figured it
would be easier to quit and go home.”
Ultimately, Baugh heeded the advice
from his parents and stuck it out.
But he didn’t really flourish the next
few years. He would make plays that
showed glimpses of his ability. But he
didn’t really embrace the Buckeyes’
culture.

Across The Ball

Lions’ Cothran-Cothren combo bonds on D-line

By Joe Juliano
The Philadelphia Inquirer

Curtis Cothran and Parker

Cothren became friends
almost immediately upon
their arrival at Penn State
five years ago to play foot-
ball, and they shared a dream
to start together someday on
the defensive line of the Nit-
tany Lions.
That happened for the first
time last season, and it was a
memorable game on multiple
levels. The two lined up side
by side at defensive tackle in
the Beaver Stadium “White
Out,” a night that resulted
in the Lions’ 24-21 upset of
then-No. 2 Ohio State.
The 6-foot-5, 301-pound
Cothran, from Newtown,
Pennsylvania, and the 6-4,
304-pound Cothren, of
Huntsville, Alabama, have
manned the interior of the
defensive line ever since and
have played solid football for
the second-ranked Nittany
Lions, who head to No. 6
Ohio State for their annual
showdown on Saturday.
Although their last names
aren’t spelled quite the same,
they are like brothers.

“I thought a lot of things
were about me, as far as
being selfish,” he said. “I
didn’t understand why the
coaches were pushing me so
hard, but it’s ultimately for
me to be the best player I can
be. I didn’t understand that.”
•••
Baugh’s maturation was
gradual, but he proved his
toughness last year. Early
in training camp as a junior,
Baugh caught a pass, low-
ered his shoulder to absorb
a tackle, and landed awk-
wardly. He had dislocated his
torn labrum.
He estimated that his
shoulder popped out four or
five times last season, but he
kept playing.
“The first couple games
were probably the worst as
far as the pain,” he said. “I
got used to it.”
He had surgery after the
season and missed spring
practice. Then a long-
standing issue with a bone
in his right foot kept him in a
walking boot for three weeks
during training
camp this year. But the foot
healed and Baugh has been
relatively healthy.
The mental side, though,
remained an issue. When
Baugh didn’t play up to his
potential against Indiana,
new tight ends coach and
offensive coordinator Kevin
Wilson showed him practice
tape from that week.
“I said, ‘You need to start
practicing better. Trust me
and start practicing better,’”
Wilson said. “Somewhere
along the way, he bought
into that and those daily
habits have led to him play-
ing better, and now he’s got
more confidence.”
Wilson said that consis-
tency is the key, and Baugh
acknowledged he is still a
work in progress.
“It feels good to be where
I’m at now, but I know I
still have a long way to go,”
Baugh said.
He might have extra incen-
tive this week. Penn State is
the Buckeyes’ first big test
since their loss to Oklahoma,
and the Nittany Lions have
an All-America-caliber tight
end in Mike Gesicki.
“When there’s another
player that people look at at
your position, you always
want to do better than him,”
Baugh said.
Baugh is on track to
graduate in December with a
degree in criminology. Yes,
he sees the irony, given his
start at Ohio State. But he
isn’t the same person he was
back then.
“It’s a wonderful thing to
see your child reaching the
potential that you know they
have,” Debbie Clausen said.
“For Marcus, it has been
such a blessing with every-
thing that has gone on with
him.
“Ohio State keeping him
and not sending him home
and working with him on his
issues, and Marcus doing
his part as a student-athlete
in the classroom and on
the field to get himself to
where he is today, it’s truly a
blessing.”

Wisconsin badgers foes with pick-sixes
By Genaro C. Armas
The Associated Press
MADISON, Wis. — So
picky, that Wisconsin
defense.
Not only do the fifth-
ranked Badgers have one
of the best defenses in
the country in forcing
turnovers, but they’re a
threat to score when they
get their hands on the ball,
too.
Wisconsin’s four
interception returns for
touchdowns match Duke
for most in the country
this year, and it’s the
most for the program in a
season since at least 1950.
It partly is a result of
a fierce pass rush that
forces quarterbacks
into mistakes. Credit
also is due to an athletic
linebacking corps and
experienced secondary
trained to swarm to the
ball.
“Everybody just vio-
lently breaks the ball,”
said inside linebacker
Chris Orr, who scored on
an interception return
against Nebraska. “You
know if you’re doing that
defensively, you might

get a tipped ball, some-
body might hit somebody,
the ball pops up and catch
it. That’s all it is.”
Illinois’ young offense
already has plenty to
worry about when Wis-
consin visits Champaign
on Saturday. The Illini
have allowed an inter-
ception for a touchdown
in two of their last three
games.
A year after matching
the school season record
with 22 interceptions,
Wisconsin (7-0, 4-0)
has picked off 10 passes
this year under first-year
defensive coordinator
looking is the way he’s
going to throw it.”
Jamerson returned
an interception for a
touchdown in the Big
Ten opener against
Northwestern.
“It’s not really luck.
We do it at practice,
catch picks all the time at
practice,” Jamerson said.
“So when it comes in a
game, once the ball is in
your hands, you just make
a play on it.”

Big 12
Last meeting: TCU won
41-20 last season in Fort
Worth, Texas. TCU leads
series 7-1.
Although this game
likely wasn’t circled on
many calendars before
the season, it could go a
long way in deciding who
wins the Big 12.
After a dominating
performance in a 43-0
win over Kansas, the
Horned Frogs look to
keep the momentum
rolling and to remain the
only team unbeaten in
conference play. With a
balanced offense under
dual-threat quarterback
Kenny Hill, the Horned
Frogs have averaged 41.6
points and 466.3 yards of
offense.
The surprise has
been the running game,
where TCU is averaging
198.3 yards. Hill, along
with sophomore Darius
Anderson, have been
controlling the tempo and
have run the ball on 57.3
percent of the offensive
snaps, the highest mark
since the arrival of the
spread offense to TCU in
2014.
“We’ve had games in
the past where I just had
to get the ball to play-
makers who would run
it in,” Hill said. “Against

Kansas, the pass was
working, and it was nice
to have it going, but
whatever it takes to win is
what we are going to do.”
The Cyclones will look
to contain Hill with a
defense that allows 353.3
yards per game, well
below the Horned Frogs’
typical numbers. They
will look to lineback-
ers Marcel Spears Jr.,
who is coming off Big 12
defensive player of the
week honors for his per-
formance against Texas
Tech, and Willie Harvey,
who had a career-high 14
tackles a week ago.
The Cyclones are 3-0
since senior quarterback
Kyle Kempt became the
starter before a 38-31
win over Oklahoma.
Kempt has thrown for
657 yards, with seven
touchdowns against
only one interception.
A win will put either
team firmly in conten-
tion to win the league
title and maybe even set
up a chance for a shot

Playoff.

REARVIEW MIRROR
Oct. 28, 1950
Each week, Gameday+
takes a look at an Ohio
State game played on
this date:
OHIO STATE IOWA

83 21
Setup: Coming off a 1949
season in which Ohio State
won the Rose Bowl, 1950
got off on the wrong foot
when the Buckeyes blew a
17-point second-half lead
in a loss to SMU. But by
midseason OSU was rolling
behind All-America back Vic
Janowicz. And on a perfect
late-October afternoon in
Ohio Stadium, visiting Iowa
was the victim of a perfect-
storm performance by the
Buckeyes.
Stars: It was Janowicz’s
day all the way, even if his
afternoon ended earlier than
expected. He finished with
two touchdown runs, four
TD passes, 10 extra points,
two punts averaging 42
yards — yes, the Buck-
eyes punted twice — and
recovered two fumbles in
a typically strong game at
safety. In all, nine Ohio State
players scored. Bob Demmel
had two TDs, on an 87-yard

punt return and a 37-yard
interception return. The
Buckeyes rolled up 432 yards
and took advantage of 12
Iowa turnovers.
Turning point: Those in
the crowd of 82,174 who
were late to their seats
might have missed the key
moments. In the first five
minutes, Janowicz recovered
a fumble, rushed 11 yards
for a touchdown, returned
a punt 61 yards for a score
and threw a 12-yard TD pass
to Tony Curcillo. Ohio State
led 35-0 after one quarter
and 55-14 at halftime.
Impact: The win vaulted
the Buckeyes from No. 6 to
No. 4 in the national rank-
ings, an upward crawl that
took them to No. 1 after a
19-14 win over Wisconsin
two weeks after the Iowa
destruction. But Ohio State’s
offense went silent in losses
to Illinois (14-7) and Michi-
gan (9-3 in the Snow Bowl)
to end the season. Jano-
wicz did win the Heisman
Trophy, but OSU coach Wes
Fesler resigned two weeks
after the season, citing the
pressures of coaching in
Columbus. Enter Wayne
Woodrow Hayes.
Quotable: “You might not
believe it, but no one is
more sorry about that big
score than I. But what can
I do? You can’t kick on first
or second down or you’re
insulting the other team.”

Jackets kill 6 Jets power plays Darvish,

By George Richards
The Columbus Dispatch
When a team is forced to
kill six penalties, it usu-
ally takes its toll. On Friday
night, the Blue Jackets said
they were energized by the
extra work.
After stopping Winnipeg
six times when the Jets had
an extra skater, the Jackets
got an overtime goal from
Josh Anderson to rally for
a 2-1 win at Nationwide
Arena.

HOUSTON — Yu Dar-

Park, where he made his first
World Series start in Game 3
for the Los Angeles Dodgers
against the Houston Astros.
But the Astros had no
problem hitting Darvish in
the World Series. He didn’t
even make it out of the
second inning, and Houston
rolled to a 5-3 win Friday
night for a 2-1 lead in the Fall
Classic.

Ravens upset with hit that left Flacco with concussion
The Associated Press
The Baltimore Ravens
are angry and calling
for a review of the rule
book after watching Joe
Flacco being helped off
the field, bleeding and
disoriented following a
late hit.
Flacco suffered a
concussion Thursday
night against Miami
after he went into a
slide designed to pre-
vent the quarterback
from being tackled. The
Ravens were off Friday
and provided no update
on the quarterback’s
condition.
It is unclear if Flacco
will be ready when
Baltimore plays on Nov.
5 at Tennessee.

Kiko Alonso crushed

half, prompting his exit

Steffen smirked and
briefly chuckled but
continued with his
answers. There wasn’t
much that could shake
his composure there or
in front of more than
67,000 fans at Mer-
cedes-Benz Stadium
in Crew SC’s penalty
shootout win over
Atlanta United.
The rookie played
with the athleticism of
a 22-year-old goal-
keeper but the poise
of a veteran. He made
eight saves in regula-
tion and 30 minutes
of extra time, plus an
additional two saves on
Atlanta penalty kicks
to help send the Crew
to the two-leg Eastern
Conference semifinals,
which begin Tuesday
against New York City
FC at Mapfre Stadium.
The electric perfor-
mance came four days
after Steffen made
seven saves, including
a stop on a David Villa
penalty kick in stoppage
time, in a 2-2 tie against
New York City in the
Crew’s regular-season
finale. Steffen was
critical of that perfor-
mance. On Thursday,
he acknowledged his
growth over 35 games.

on the play, but that
was of little consolation
to the Ravens.
“He was sliding, and

Steffen said. “Toward
the end of the season

and right now I feel

“Was it clean? Was
it dirty? It doesn’t
matter,” Ravens
linebacker C.J. Mosley
said. “At the end of
the day, our quarter-
back went down, and
the whole team took it
personally.”
On Friday, Miami
coach Adam Gase said,
“Kiko was in a tough
spot. He’s running for
the first down, and I
think he’s kind of wait-
ing on what’s he going
to do. When he’s sliding,
it’s not like a true slide
you normally see. He’s
kind of half in, half out.

Thursday, Berhalter
recalled a discussion he
had the previous day
with the game’s broad-
cast crew.
“They asked me
what’s been the most
surprising thing of
to do. If he completely
stays away from him
and he keeps running
and goes headfirst and
gets a first down, we
all go, ‘What are you
doing? Finish the play.’
I don’t think Kiko was
trying to do anything
maliciously.”
Bills still dealing
The Jacksonville Jag-
uars traded for Buffalo
Bills nose tackle Marcell
Dareus. The Jaguars
sent a sixth-round pick
in the 2018 draft to the
Bills for the 330-pound
run-stopper.
The trade continues

McDermott and general
manager Brandon

mentioned Zack, just
his poise and his calm
and his performance,
for being such a young
player, is really special

calm, he was focused,
and then (in) penal-
ties, what can you say?

Fines levied
Jets linebacker
Darron Lee was fined
$36,464 by the NFL
on Friday for a rough-

and another $9,115 for
a facemask call in New
York’s loss at Miami
last Sunday. Lee, in
his second season
out of Ohio State, has
been fined four times

Berhalter said there
isn’t one part of Stef-
fen’s game that is miles
ahead from where it
was in March, just that
his overall product is
more consistent. Still,
there were signs of a
polished product early
this season.
“I think about early
in the season in the
D.C. game (in March),
him making a couple
big saves late in that
game to keep us in
it,” Berhalter said. “I
would just say overall
his play has been very
consistent, very calm,
very poised, very few
big mistakes and then
making the big saves.”
Now he’ll hope to
make a few more big
saves against another
capable offense in
NYCFC.
Another performance
like Thursday’s and
it might be more than
just Steffen’s team-
mates using the word
“legend.”
“(Steffen is) weather-

the right passes out of
the back and then obvi-
ously making saves,”
midfielder Wil Trapp
said. “His develop-
ment this year has been
pretty fantastic.”

dominates
By Josh Horton
The Columbus Dispatch
A sign of a mature team is
when individual egos are set
aside for team success.
On Friday, Olentangy
Orange running back Graham
Starn demonstrated how
important that is.
Starn, the Pioneers’ lead-
ing rusher, filled in for injured
middle linebacker Bryce
Houston after he suffered a
season-ending knee injury last
week and helped limit Wester-
ville South’s potent offense in
Olentangy Orange’s 35-7 win
in an Ohio Capital Conference
Buckeye Division game.
Pioneers coach Zebb Schro-
eder said Starn came to the
coaching staff during the week
and said he wanted to help on
defense with Houston, an Ohio
University commit, sidelined.
Starn said he hasn’t played
defense since his sophomore
year when he was a 160-pound
safety and admitted he’s never
really liked playing defense
until Friday night.
“I just want to win,” Starn
said. “That transition, it was
hard. It’s a whole new side
of the ball; I haven’t played it
all year. I haven’t played it in
years. But I felt like I had to do it
and I said, ‘You know what, I’ll
do it if need be.’ So they gave
me the job and I went out there

Darby overcomes injuries for key win
By Mark Znidar
The Columbus Dispatch
The official logo on the sides
of Hilliard Darby helmets has
the overlapped letters “H”
and “D,” but after 10 weeks
of a painful season, a pair of
crutches would be more like it.
The brackets won’t be
revealed until Sunday, but
Panthers might have nailed
down the eighth and final
playoff spot in their Division I
region despite playing with-
out eight starters Friday night
in their final regular-season
game.
Ian Coverstone returned a
kickoff 96 yards for a touch-
down, and tailback Canyon
Uphouse and quarterback Jack
Stultz ran for touchdowns
in a 22-3 victory over Dublin
Scioto before a sparse crowd at
Scioto.
“I’m so proud of them
because we faced a lot of
adversity — we just kept fight-
ing,’’ Panthers coach John
Santagata said.
The injury list grew longer
with Coverstone and Uphouse
leaving the game because of
injuries. Coverstone had an
arm in a sling. Kicker Blake
Sawicki was injured playing in
a soccer game on Thursday and
Jack Gearhiser took his place.
“I honestly have no idea
about the (playoff computer)
points,’’ running back Grant
Hollinger said, “but we’re just
overcoming the injuries. We
just have heart. We have a
group of guys that just play so
hard. We gave it all we had.’’
According to Joe Eitel, whose
website tracks playoff com-
puter points, Darby (7-3) is
in eighth place with 20.3500
points, with Reynoldsburg in
ninth (18.6778) and Springfield
in 10th (17.9500)
The Panthers received help
when Kettering Fairmont
emerged with a 7-3 victory
over Springfield, which had
been in eighth place.
“There are so many variables
to determine whether we get
in or not, but we think it’s a
possibility that we’ll get in,’’
Santagata said.
Scioto took a 3-0 lead by
driving 74 yards on 17 plays on
the first possession of the game
for a 24-yard field goal by Grif-
fin. The Irish converted two
fourth downs.
It took 11 seconds for
momentum to swing when
Coverstone found a seam in
the blocking wedge near the
20-yard line and returned the
ensuing kickoff 96 yards for a
touchdown.
Darby made it 14-3 when
Uphouse capped a 65-yard
drive with a 9-yard touch-
down run on a misdirection
play through the left side of the
line with 1:11 remaining in the
second quarter.
Scioto (5-5) got into a deeper
hole when Tommy Clark
recovered a fumble on the
ensuing kickoff and Stultz
scored three plays later from 1
yard out. Creed Galko caught a
two-point conversion pass.
“We got the win — we played
Darby football — and that was
the most important thing,’’
Stultz said. “That’s the thing
about this team, no matter how
many people we lose to injuries
we’re not going to quit.’’
